State: Alpha - Active Development (Early Access)
Developer: Facepunch Studios
Website: http://www.playrust.com
Game Type: First person, multiplayer-only survival game
Platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac OSX (scroll to FAQ)
Price: $19.99 / €18,99 / £14.99
Engine: Unity3D
Description:
Rust is a survival game created by Facepunch Studios. Inspired by games like DayZ, Minecraft and Stalker – Rust aims to create a hostile environment in which emergent gameplay can flourish.
The aim of the game is to survive. To do this the player should gather resources. Hitting a tree with a rock will give you wood, hitting a rock with a rock will give you rock and ore. You can then craft
a hatchet from the wood and rock, allowing you to gather faster. You can go out and hunt a variety of wildlife such as boars, chickens, rabbits, bears, wolves and deer. Once you have killed an
animal you can butcher it to gather its meat and skin. You can craft a fire using wood and cook the meat inside the fire. Then you can eat.
Players will have to build their own houses using gathered resources where they can stash their loot and stay safe from danger. At first you will only have a small shed to hide in, later you can
build entire bases with barricades, multiple rooms, stairways, reinforced doors and more to keep raiders out.
You face two major dangers in game.
Rust is a multiplayer game, so there will be other players trying to survive in the same way that you are. Unfortunately for you they can find you, kill you and take your stuff. Fortunately for you – you
can kill them and take their stuff. Or maybe you can make friends and help each other survive. Rust’s world is harsh – so you might need to make friends to survive.
The environment is not kind. Bears and wolves will chase and kill you. Falling from a height will kill you. Being exposed to radiation for an extended period will kill you. Starving will kill you. Being
cold will kill you.

Rust currently exists in two forms: (Old) "Rust", and "Experimental Rust". The first is the Rust we have all come to know and love: the original game. Experimental Rust is the same game but
being build with new code, new UI, new graphics, animations, everything! The devs are basically recreating Rust from scratch, but by starting over they can make it much better than if they would
keep working with the old version.
When you start Rust, you will have the option to choose between both versions.
It is advised to play normal Rust until Experimental has been updated enough to become playable.
Experimental Rust is updated weekly on Fridays. Follow the Rust Dev Blog to see what changes are being made.
The information, screenshots and videos in this post are all from the original Rust version. Once Experimental Rust becomes the main version, this OT will also be overhauled to reflect the changes made in the new version.

NEWBIE GUIDE:
So you bought Rust and have no idea where to start? Here's some useful tips that can get you started:
So you bought Rust and have no idea where to start? Here's some useful tips that can get you started:
- Gather wood by hitting trees or piles of wood with your stone. Gather stones and ores by hitting stones with your stone (you got that?)
- You can gather (much) faster if you craft a Stone Hatchet. Piles of wood will also give much more wood than trees (7-10 wood per hit)
- Hunt animals for food. Just hit the corpse with your stone or hatchet to gather resources from them, such as cloth and raw meat.
- You can find the crafting menu at the top of the screen when you press TAB.
- The Hunting Bow is a great beginner's weapon.
- Cook food by holding E while looking at your camp fire and select "Open". Just pressing E will start/extinguish the fire. Drag your raw meat onto the "Cooking" slots.
- Press F1 and enter "grass.on false" if you have trouble seeing small animals. This will disable tall grass. Also useful for spotting other players.
- Build your shelter in a secluded place, but make sure you can find your way back.
- Placing a sleeping mat will make that your spawn place when you die (make sure you choose "Spawn at a camp" when that happens).

VIDEOS:
Q: Does this game work on Mac?
A: It is currently quite unstable on Mac OS. Some users have reported having no problems, others can't get into the game at all as it hangs on the Loading screen. Purchase with caution.
Q: Can't see shit, captain!
A: Open the console by pressing F1, enter "grass.on false". Tada, you have unlocked chicken and rabbits. In Experimental Rust, you can't disable grass.
Q: I don't have friends. Can I play this solo?
A: Definitely, but it will be tough. Make sure you live somewhere secluded and be very cautious. Try to avoid confrontation at all times, and you'll do fine.
Q: Does it have zombies?
A: Not anymore. The developers don't want to make a DayZ clone so they removed zombies. They haven't announced yet what they will be replaced with, but concept art hints at mutant-like creatures.
Q: Does it support third person?
A: No, the game is only in first person. Sorry, you can't look at your own dick. In Experimental Rust, you are able to play in third person though!
Q: Will the price go up during development?
A: Facepunch has no plans to raise the price once they're done.
Q: Do I need to pay for Experimental Rust?
A: No, when you start Rust you can choose between both versions. Both versions will continue to exist, even when Experimental Rust becomes the "official" version.
Q: Should I wait for a sale?
A: It won't go on sale until the game is out of Alpha. You should only buy it if you want to test and take part in the development process.
