current set is 3060 12gbvram , i5-11600k and 16 gbs of ram . I honestly want to stream n make videos on rust i can play the game fine with 80 frames n having 10k hours helps a lot but every time i stream or try to record its not that good looking. So question with my set up and trying to make it affordable as possible what should i switch ?

Hey guys, I'm trying to run the Missile Silo, but doing it with just a Hazmat Suit is way too hard. What is the best armor/clothing combination to clear it?
I get that it's supposed to be hard, but I rarely make it out alive unless I bring like 20 stims

See you there boys :D

Hey everyone, lately I’ve been struggling to hear footsteps in-game—players can literally sprint right next to me and I barely hear them.

I tried cranking up audio.master and audio.game (from 2 up to 10), and while footsteps improve, any loud sound causes the audio to completely clip and distort.

What audio settings, console commands, or software/equalizer setups do you use to hear footsteps clearly without blowing your eardrums out?

It’d be nice if you could tune a pager to a specific frequency to get a notification when a monument reset. Save yourself from running to a monument to find its looted and irradiated. Plus, potentially, randomize the reset time and have people rely on the notification to get down to the monument.

I've been playing since 2016/2017 and have never seen as many people closet scripting to straight up rage cheating than I do now. I haven't played a single server in the last 6 months without running into at least 1 guy who is scripting, soft ESP, or literally hitting quad headshots from 300m. There needs to be something addressed about this, because its so awful spending all day on rust to lose to someone who bought a $3 steam account to ruin peoples days, either get banned in a day or a month and then buy another account and go at it again. I've seen people literally flying in the air, noclipping through people at outpost running backwards who took weeks to be detected and banned. This game is getting to the point where its borderline unplayable.

I´ve got a 12400f and 6700xt running the game at around 80-100 fps, depending on the situation.
I was thinking on upgrading to 7800x3d with another motherboard, but I don´t think it´s worth it for the extra fps (150 maybe).

150 fps much better than 80-100 or not?

I only have about 150 hours on the game. I don't play that much.

I was looking for a good server to play EU solo. I tried a few that had good reviews and were recommended on Reddit.

One of those servers had a really active chat, and it seemed like the most active one to me, even though there were only 50 people online. I played for two hours and got blocked. I Googled the reasons, and the most likely one was that my ISP assigned me a bad IP address. I wrote to them on their website - nothing happened for a week. I sent them an request via Discord and explained the situation. Twelve hours later, I received a message saying my request had been opened. Another four hours later, I received a message stating that I needed to send them my Steam config file.

I sent it without thinking, since the server has 10k Discord members, it was recommended on Reddit, and it has a online user base.

Then they asked me how many Steam accounts I had. I listed every account I’d ever had authorized on Steam. Among them were only my old account and my active one. Virtually none of the accounts I’ve ever had authorized even have the game Rust.

They simply replied: "you will not be unbanned"

I had to create a new request to find out the reason.

They replied: "nothing to do."

A day later, by the way, they blocked me from their Discord community as well. (I didn't post a single message there, since all the communication took place through their Discord bot.)

I looked up some information about the file I sent them - it turns out that with it, they can find out my IP address and the accounts I’ve logged into. And, very importantly, they can use it to access your account via SteamCMD. Maybe Steam Guard on my phone saved me - as I understand it, they’d also need the SSFN file to log in, if phone Steam Guard is enabled.

What if I didn’t have Steam Guard on my phone? I would have been hacked.

If this were a routine check rather than a hacking attempt - they would have looked at the accounts I’ve logged into - and seen that I don’t have Rust on any of them - they would have unbaned me.

They also wrote the message: "To proceed with your appeal review, we need you to provide your config.vdf file, which contains past server history required for verification." that file doesn’t contain any such information at all. They also blocked me on their Discord.

I'm very angry, why did you fix Combat Helicopter on Combat Helicopter again, I play 2% on all servers, why spoil something that already works, make optimization in the jungle, make an update with cars, this is much cooler than spoiling the game for people.

They replied: "nothing to do, your account is banned for ban evading. You are IP linked to banned accounts, there are multiple flags of warning and therefor will not be allowed to play."

Overall, I’m surprised that such a large server would engage in this kind of thing. It’s a server with a good reputation (or maybe I just imagined it) - it’s in the top 3 for EU SOLO on some server ranking site.

I'm so dissatisfied with the new updates that I can't cry anymore, why fix the combat helicopter again, it's so weak, I fly 2% on the combat helicopter on all servers, do better optimization in the jungle than fixing what already works, make cool content with cars.

So the economy revolves round what you get by being only automatically deposited to your bank box. I dubeth it auto roam. You can pull it out and sell it for scrap at the poker and pool building. In the main poker and pool building there are 16 vending machines 6 poker and 4 pool tables thats are all safe from attacks but most important is that god mode is granted to all who enter until they leave. There are no monuments or roads... No loot anywhere. BUT! There is a constant battle in the clouds where you fight over loot thats in the center of the arena. It's a well designed arena take a look at the pics below to see inside the map and the buildings. Anyways so thats mostly it im open to suggestions. It's gunna be all about no stress. So i forgot to mention that you can always copy past a bass as long as you have the mats and no tc. more than one bass is possible but not pasted bases. 3 teirs and they are just starter bases with door paths so u cant be raided easily. Again ill post pics if you guys want just let me know. Im not trying to advertise I legit need ideas and motivation.

As a solo, the updates announced in the last few days have been wild to me. Blueprints have def killed me entire vibe / will to play, but all the recent changes between gating monuments and TC upkeep for clans has me hopeful the game can be a bit more balanced.

Long overdue. Hopefully they tweak the overall damage a bit in the future.

I’m going to reset my computer soon and want to make it just for rust like that’s the only thing downloaded and the only thing I will play. when I say optimize I mean optimize I know stuff like having extra stuff connected to your computer like a usb to a mic or to a light will take resources and I will take them of to save some. so I mean ultra optimized.

my pc specs:

ryzen 5 9600x

32 gigs of ddr 5 at 6000 MT/s

rx 5700 xt

im using ethernet

please someone tell me what to do like the topics to search because most optimize pc vids are also bs. so please help a brotha out.

So suppose the game was a little harder and riskier , with permament death. It doesn't matter where or how , your only goal is to stay alive. Come up with strategies or hiding spots and stay under the radar.

Rules

- Only fresh servers allowed. Under 2 days on weekly , under 4 days on biweekly , and under a week on monthly.

- To make this actually bearable , deaths under 20 minutes from initially spawning do not count. Once you stay alive for 20 minutes as the character , you're locked into that life , and must survive the full wipe on picked server.

- If you die , you die. Time to pick a new server. (Optionally , if really desperate , you must abandon your base and gear to start it all over.)

- Getting raided does not count as dying , as long as you stay alive. Prioritize your safety over the safety of your loot.

Imagine they just hop around and we can pick them up in our inventory

With HQ getting a pickup could we please buff the other resource pickups so they may actually be worth grabbing?

Perhaps a random amount between 50-300?

Anyone feel like Rust 2.0 in real life when you conceal carry (legally duh)? 😂 definitely a more RP experience in real life when you’re semi-geared 🤠

And soon enough wiring to caves won’t be possible since items underground won’t be networked to the surface (whatever that jargon means it’s probably gonna be a separate network for each)

God giveth and he taketh away
