What an exciting week for Rust! Including a forced map wipe, we have a lot of fixes and new content coming our way! We will be wiping both servers as soon as the Dev Blog is out, and keeping blueprints.
Changes
- The returning snow biome (!!!)
- Food stacking tweaks
- Fish traps & fish
- Metal facemask fixes
- ProcGen changes, including mountains and less dense bushes
Decay Fix
I know many players have been complaining of no decay on the server for quite some time. Quite honestly, we had no idea why: we looked through all of our code to see what could be doing it, and we were at a complete loss. Finally, we know why – and Facepunch has fixed it! Previously, decay state wasn’t saving on server restarts, so on every single 8-hour restart, decay was starting back at the beginning. So nothing but twig ever decayed. It seems Facepunch has fixed this issue, and starting this wipe you should see regular decay rates kick in.
Please keep this in mind and build appropriately! Those 10 layers of high external stone walls might not be such a great idea anymore!
Server Updates
As for DeadLaugh, you may notice a few new things here, too!
First of all, we are temporarily shutting down the EU server. There has not been enough interest to sustain it right now. We do not have plans to keep it down permanently, so stay tuned in the future, and thank you to the loyal players who kept logging in! Don’t forget that we do have a Vanilla server up!
Secondly, we recognize there is a current issue with big lag/freezing toward the center of the map. This appears to be an reoccurring issue on modded servers. Until then, I’ll try to be finding maps to accommodate – I’m hoping that with a mountain or no monuments in the center of the map, there won’t be as many bases there and the issue won’t be bad. I’d recommend not building in the center until it is fixed.
Finally, as many of you have already tried, we have a new dueling plugin in the works! Stay tuned for more opportunities to test it out in the coming weeks, before it goes live officially!
Also, welcome t0kenz to the NA admin team! He was our EU admin and he’ll be helping out here for awhile too!
Get ready for another great wipe!
