Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

This month we have added the tech tree which will give you the choice of how you unlock your blueprints, this has also led to a huge update on item crafting recipes, tiers and the loot you will find in airdrops and heli/bradley crates.


Tech Tree
In November 2017 I implemented Workbench experimenting which allowed the player to use scrap to gain a random unknown blueprint. Since this time we've added nearly an extra 130 items which has made random experimenting both costly and frustrating.


Say goodbye to experimentation and say hello to Tech Trees. Each level of workbench has its own tech tree composed of all of the items within its tech level. This new system allows you to see the entire tree of items and allows you to unlock them in a linear fashion, choosing paths and allowing you to specialize. This should...

This month's update brings horse stables to purchase your trusty steeds, a new telephone system you can add to your base or find public phones along the roads and at monuments, a Taxi module for vehicles along with changes to vehicle costs, crafting and balancing along with the usual improvements and fixes and a moustache ??

Happy Halloween!
The Rust Halloween event is upon us! We've released a patch containing lots of spooky features, enabled the Trick or Treat event, NPC Mummies and a surprise.

This update brings an elevator for easy travel between floors of your base, A real life Rust chair that gives you an exclusive in game chair too, The Spacesuit skin for the Hazmat outfit, changes to roads and added trails as well as the usual balancing and optimisations

Elevator


The Elevator is a new deployable object that allows you to easily travel between floors in your base. Simply place an Elevator on the ground floor and then stack additional Elevators on top of that to add floors.

Once you power the Elevator by plugging in a power source at the top of the shaft you can use the Up and Down buttons to move a floor at a time or directly to the top or bottom of the shaft. There is also a power input on each floor that will call the Elevator to that floor if it receives power. To help make this setup easier we've also made the Push Button send a small burst of...

This month's update brings fishing villages to purchase boats including the new kayak blueprint, a storage monitor for use with the Rust+ app, some changes to electrified items and other improvements and optimisations.


Kayak and Paddle
The Kayak and Paddle are two new craftable items that will allow you to take to the seas in a more primitive fashion.


Once crafted, the Kayak can be placed in the water (similar to the Sunburn DLC boogie boards). Once deployed, you can sit on the Kayak and use a Paddle to move. LMB will paddle left and RMB will paddle right, so to travel forward you’ll need to alternate between left and right paddles. You can also paddle backwards by holding the back key (S by default) and paddling to slow down or reverse.
