Rust Early Access Thread - Rock Out With Your Cock Out

CornBurrito said:
I thought Rust was a survival simulator. Or an attempt at one. So why exactly shouldn't you take penalties for working alone?

If it was a survival simulator everyone would die from exposure within a day.

But what you're saying is that unless I bring four friends I shouldn't bother with this game?

Sounds about right. So I'm out unless things are changed.

I think you're taking the survival aspect a bit too literally.

Talk to CornBurrito. Apparently this is a survival sim so single players should be punished.

It doesn't sound like you're being punished. It sounds like you're missing out on the advantages of being in a group. Like I've read your posts and it sounds like you're just getting overtaken by groups. What exactly do you want them to do to fix 2 people being stronger than 1 person?

No, I want foraging to be viable so I can play the way I want to play, just like group raiders playing the way they want to play.

I work alone. I forage for items and farm nodes. I hunt large game when necessary. By gimping the box drops, that basically makes my style completely non viable. I'm forced to do what everyone else does and that bores me.

Supply boxes are built in very specific places and aren't meant to be farmed over and over again. They should supplement gathering and help newer players catch up. There's a risk when searching for them and taking the reward away by having nothing in the box basically deters any reason to search for them in the first place. It's a waste of time when you should just go do what everyone else does to get started. I have no interest in wasting my time searching forever for an animal I may be able to kill with just a rock.
 
Good Interview With Gary

I like how they may handle the door situation.

a problem we had was that users wanted to be able to open each others doors. The solution suggested was to have a list of users that you can add to a door - to let your friends use them. That's great but it doesn't happen in real life. It's too secure. It's not exploitable. So what if the door has a combination that you share with friends. Or a key, that you make copies of and give to friends. This solves the problem but it leaves a lot of room for emergent gameplay. You could build a house and hide the key somewhere in the world for another player at a later time. You could be forced to hand over your key at gunpoint, and be locked out of your own house etc.

Oh man waiting by a base to ambush a dude for his keys...better make copies and store them around the world.

Also great heist revealed on Reddit.

Recently started up a new character on a server with over 100 population. Found myself in the Next Valley (My favorite location), and got to work. There was a clan with the tag [TSH] nearby who kept finding me and taxing me 10 wood or a few stones, which started to get annoying after about 5 taxes. When I finally made a shelter, I went to see where they lived. They had just started building their house, and you could walk in through the roof at the moment. I decided to try to get some materials in the dead of night, but was noticed and killed. When I spawned back in my shed, they were already there hacking it down - while I was scouting their house they were on the move. They broke it down, killed me, and got rid of my sleeping bag.
About an hour later, I found my way back to Next Valley. This time I made sure I already had materials from other places so as not to be taxed. I made a shelter in the hills, completely out of sight. I had a friend with me this time, and we came up with a plan. I noticed that you could jump on top of their (now finished) house, and that there were windows in the front, so I figured that would be my way in. My friend went up to them offering gifts and distracting them, there were currently two online. While he did this, I jumped in through the window and found a sleeper. I came up with a new plan; I killed the sleeper, got rid of his backpack, and disconnected right where he had. I searched the guys outside's friendlist and found an offline member named [TSH]StAtlc, and changed my name to that. I then logged back in, after being told they entered the house, and typed in all chat that i had broken my headset. They said it sucked, went to their store room and opened the metal doors along the way. While they were crafting and smelting things, I looted each chest. About a hundred 9mm bullets, four m9's, a shot gun, mp5's, hundreds of cloth, about a thousand metal, and some food. I jumped out the window and hid my spoils. They then complained to admins about a hacker that stole their stuff, because none of their doors were broken. I then revealed myself and explained my story, eventually revealing that I was the person they raided earlier, and finished with a "Fuck You". The admin told them that they were outplayed, and I went on my way.

How convenient that X mod is now off

Dear Customer,

Unfortunately due to the wishes of the Oxide mod developers, we were forced to remove mods from all servers at this time. We are working with the developers to restore access to these mods, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

We will post updates here as they become available.


Best regards,

Michael Moore

I can't believe how much I hated and loved being trapped in a room for 2 hours. I am really sorry I shot you Hambone! I shall give you some stuff next time we cross paths!
 
Now if only the whole ordeal didn't begin with you guys being obnoxious douchebags. Calling people names and talking shit like children. That shit would have been alot more fun start to finish probably...

The entire place was designed with door sharing in place. Then you guys start calling people names when you find an open door? Whatever gets your rocks off, I guess.

But hey... yall did play some kick ass rescue music. Props for that.

lol sounds like I missed a clusterfuck.

We had a fortress by the ocean that has a single point entry. Door sharing was working and everything was fine. As we all know, door sharing got removed and the original ownrt of the door was AFK so he left the door open so the rest of us could continue to come and go as we please. We had some ideas in place to fix the situation but we didnt get the chance.

A few people came by at just the right time when we had people AFK or off farming and killed some sleeping guys and occupied our upper floor. We barricaded them in and trapped them. When we finally got a few guys on they started to talk shit and call people names for leaving the door open when we had no choice but to leave it open. (talking shit and calling people names online makes some people feel like a badass I guess lol)

They were trapped for a few hours, and after a few failed rescue attempts (thanks for all the swag Hylian!), they pulled off a successful rescue to some bad ass rescue music.

The end was much more fun than the beginning even though most of them got away

LOL It was a fun as hell rescue.

You aren't alone in that... our places were built with door sharing in mind too. We were completely screwed and locked inside. We had to c4 our own stuff and now our designs are shot as well. Oh well this is what the game is all about. The hostage and rescue situation was great.

I won't be doing any door sharing based on mods again. Fool me once.

dood i died laughing when the rescue music started playing. That shit was too perfect!

Yeah, i think the whole door sharing mod should be avoided. Just wait till the key system or whatever rolls around. Now our fortress is rather useless...
 
It was eventful and fun.

Ended up getting the upper hand overall and learned how the game works a bit more in the process.
 
PrematureQuiche is like 12 and a Euro. You'll have to forgive him.

It really wasn't at all serious on our end. We were mainly just laughing it up in mumble about them just walking into the place and then getting trapped like a bunch of lab rats.

Yeah, not sure why anyone would take us seriously especially after the nonsense we were spouting after trapping ourselves in.

I'll only apologize to Sanjuro. When he came into the mumble (AS A FILTHY SPY!) we treated him awkwardly. That was only because we had started planning our escape already and were trying to keep it vague. Sorry Sanjuro! We love you!
 
I was just being honest with you. You guys were asking me to open the door and I was telling you it just wasn't possible any longer.

The nonsense after you guys were done talking shit and just wanted out was fine... Some of it was funny. Most of it was awkward

It was earlier when you guys were calling people names, talking shit, and bragging about "slitting peoples throats"

Like i said, whatever gets your rocks off...
 
Taking a sort of break (just going to check in on my house a couple times) for the next few days. I got so involved in this game I've fallen behind in some of my real life duties.
 
Hey guys, bought the game the other day, really liking it so far

I just have a question: I played on the GAF server yesterday and today when I joined the server I started with a new character, did I do something wrong? Did the server get reset?

When you log out your body stays in the game. If you didn't log out in a well hidden spot or build a shelter to log out in, then you were likely killed.

Apology accepted. Although I can't promise I won't shoot you in the face next time we meet. ;)

But for reals, it's all good. I've learned my lessons about putting sleeping bags down, and not carry a bunch of shit when out resource hunting, so nothing of real value was lost.

I understand pvp, kos, raiding, marauding is all apart of the game, just no need to be dicks about it. I guess I just hold gaf members to higher standard.
 
I will say the most fun part of the rescue was when I spotted the three of you heading to the base and I was running as you were firing at me lol

Good times for me at least, I don't know how you guys didn't kill me when I was the only one attacking you on the roof. One of you ran at me swinging so I jumped and got injured. Was just crouched by the stairs ready to blast my MP5 till I died.
