Image Killed at 200m in full ballistic armor - Rig scientists need adjusting

Post image
106 Upvotes

I tried shooting the dock scientists and he beams me to 50hp so I drive further out to 200m and he still is hitting me and I try to get away and he kills me.

Then I respawn, kill some deer for fuel and get a boat back out to get my body. In full ballistic again healed to 100hp healing (50hp and 50 healing) I decide to try to shoot the scientist, at 200 meters. EVERY scientist on the rig shoots me in unison, one barrage hits me 50-0hp full dead.

Insane. Went past mad to just hysterical laughter at how broken this game can be. Fix their AI damn it.

Discussion Why do my raid alarms never work?

• Upvotes

I've tried the seismic sensor multiple times, I run power into it, then run power into the raid alarm and make sure its paired with my Rust+, set the radius to 30m and it never notifys me. I even tried shooting our own base with explo and it didn't trigger.

This time I set up the same raid alarm as above, and also connected one to a turret "has target" set the turret to 11 power thinking as soon as it has a target I will get a notification, nope didn't work again.

Pretty much missed out on 2 onlines because of this and its painful after spending so much time building a base.

Could someone please help me find out where I'm going wrong?

Thanks fellas

EDIT: just to add, whenever I get killed I get a notification on my phone that works so Rust+ is definitely setup correct, I'm just doing something wrong with the alarm.

Video Sneaky Forest Bunker Base

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

I had recently tried a sort of low-key forest base with green shipping container skin, but inevitably somebody found me and raided me. So I went back to the drawing board with the same idea to live quietly in the forest, but this time with a plan for when I get raided.

Essentially it's your basic 2x1, only a few doors to raid. With the caveat that I have a pixel bunker gap in one side of the "honeycomb". This has direct access to 2 large boxes, but also has a bag inside, so you can spawn in and move loot into other storage barrels once inside. Similarly, the roof pancake also has a pixel gap, which has access to 3 large boxes as well.

You might be wondering why I didn't bunker the TC as well. The key here is to not give any clues to raiders that your base has bunkered loot. So you expose the TC and keep a bunch of mediocre loot in the core. Just enough to make them think that's all your loot, you just happen to be kinda broke. And the external TC is detachable to allow raiders to break your main TC, but then not be able to replace their own and grief. Allowing you to come back and secure your base once they finish raiding. The concept banks on them deciding not to raid your external as well, but they'll likely not do that if the main base wasn't profitable.

Finished base build tour

Pixel gap method used (this works on Rust Console, but I'm assuming there's still a working pixel gap method on PC if this doesn't work

External TC method used

I haven't tested this on a wipe yet, but I'm open to hearing thoughts/suggestions on changes/additions to the concept.

Hello to all Reddit users. I’m having an issue with the game Rust and would like to ask for your help, as I’m not sure what to do about it—I’m getting an Easy Anti-Cheat error.

Video Softcore BUG: Raiding sometimes gives 100% loot of the box instead of 50%. Why?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

23 Upvotes

FOR CONTEXT: This is softcore, when you raid and destroy a box, it should give you 50% of the loot.

I don't know why it happened, I reported it to facepunch (ticket number 698138), hopefully they will fix it somehow. I don't know how to reproduce this.

This is max gfx on a 5080, incidentally changing the gfx settings changes nothing visually or fps wise. Sometimes quitting and reloading game works but most of the time my game just looks like this now

Suggestion Allowing players to nail notes to surfaces

17 Upvotes

I like the idea of this and want to hear from people who play the game more than me (basically none). This would be just adding a new way to use notes by placing them on a surface. They do not decay. You would have to make sure it can't block buildings and there is a radius around them where you can't place another note to prevent griefing.

I can just picture a note being left on someone's door with a threat. A final note on a TC explaining the grievances of a team that left their base to decay. Warnings of a trap base down the road. A clan marking their territory by placing notes on raided bases like a calling card. And of course weird ass notes that people have left scattered around their base to mess with their teammates.

What do you think?

Discussion We shaped a Rust map to the United States, then let the game’s own generator place every monument. Fly round it in 3D.

Post image
• Upvotes

This is a 6000 m map shaped to the US coastline. Nothing on it is hand-placed: we give the game our land shape and its own generator does the rest, so every monument, road, rail and river is where the game wanted it. Snow in the north, desert in the south, the Rockies down the middle, Oil Rigs off both coasts.

It runs on a vanilla server with nothing to install, and you can fly round the whole thing in a browser before you ever load it in game. We have done the same with Australia, New Zealand, Africa, a kitten-shaped island and a dozen drawn fantasy lands, and we are putting our own custom monuments on some of them: keycard puzzles, scientists, underground levels, a floating junkyard market out at sea, and an airship town you reach by minicopter. All built from the game’s own pieces.

Happy to answer questions about the shaping. If you run a server and want one of these, the link is in the comments.

The hit detection seems weird right now. Shit I think will hit doesn’t and hits when I know it shouldn’t have hit

Discussion Mushroom diversity

9 Upvotes

I think we should see more diversity in mushrooms.

Like on trees Reishi could spawn on trees in snow rather than bee hives which don’t spawn on snow trees afaik Stumps might have a chance to harvest honey mushrooms when picked. This would give a way to gather shrooms in snow or desert biome. Forest and jungle would be spawn any shroom including the traditional red ones.

Though adding a food source to snow does make it less treachorous so sort of mixed on that.

But mushrooms are isolated to two biomes but required for like what, half of food recipes?

Growing them might not make sense unless it involved the composter somehow.

Video Bug in Softcore 1 my base was raided and griefed (I had a keylock on TC). How is that possible?

  1. It was raided before and TC was broken and I was able to repair it with a hammer. After repair it still had a keylock, so it was fully secure.

  2. Couple days later I was raided again and now they managed to put their own TC and grief my base. How is that possible? Can anyone explain? This is a bug.

Discussion Help !, experiencing huge fps loss and long freezes

0 Upvotes

So recently since the new force, after playing normaly for some time my game will suddently drop to 1or 4 fps, my scripts will start taking very long 4000ms, which i think cause my gpu and cpu to stop working (gpu usage drop from 90% to 1%, same for cpu) and may be the cause of the drop of fps during the bug the usage of my components will rize when the scripts times become normal for 1 frame, so its not a constant freeze.

So my question is how can i fix this.

also when i restart the game, the bug will still be on and when restart my pc the bug will come maybe after 5 min. The bug takes longer to appear when i dont use my pc for some time. Temps are fine so prob not that. I can use my pc fine outside of rust so only a rust problem.

i have a gtx 1650, a ryzen 3600x, 32gb of ddr4
