There's somethin' fishy goin' on here...

Ok, so what is this garbage?

Rust is a Early Access game being developed by Facepunch studios, the guys who came out with Garry's Mod. It is a open persistant world survival game to where you have to collect materials such as wood, stones, and cloth in order to build a stronghold in the world and kill other two legged animals. The game can be purchased on Steam here for $19.99. Please notice the bold section about this being EARLY ACCESS meaning this game is not in any way complete. This game has been in the development stages for years and has even seen an engine change, but it's all for the better. For all you Legacy players it's back to that level of fun.

It's good enough some weirdo exobitionist made a live action for it.

So what makes this different from games like DayZ?

Well to start it's different because this game is a blast. You start off buck rear end nude with a rock. You use said rock to bash on trees or wood piles to get more wood, bash in the skulls of animals / players to get things like cloth, meat (yes even human), bone fragments and skulls and you use all the different parts to build up tools. Get some Wood and some Stones and make a stone hatchet, use the bone fragments to make a hunting knife, the list goes on to include building bows and guns and such.


Ok so it's a survival game where we kill man things, what else?

Aside from being a murder simulator you can build houses/mansions/towers and raid the creations of other players as well. Recently they added Blueprints to the game which are needed to unlock crafting items. To find blueprints run around and bust open any barrels you can fine. The blueprints range from clothing to freaking timed explosives and now Auto-Turrents! Other recent additions is Signs and the ability to MSPaint even more dongs into the world.


Well why even build a base if someone is going to break in?

Some players actually don't build a base themselves, instead raiding other players homes and using their buildings instead. One of the main reasons you do want a base is because it gives you somewhere to slap down a sleeping bag, which is your spawn point, and store all that loot you just took off that naked guy whom you told you were friendly. The best defense to having you place stolen is either, have it well hidden is rocks or out of the way places, build in a community, upgrade the ever-loving poo poo out of your building.


Well if building in a community is a good idea how do I find my fellow goons?

Generally you want to look for certain landmarks such as a giant Satelite dish, light houses, and rivers. Also now there are sites that can generate the map for you such as This place where you just type in the server name and as long as they are running the addon it will generate a map to where you can add and share your location with players. Or if you are a horribly lazy bum like we all know you are get a buddy to throw down a sleeping bag for you.


How else do I find goons to play with?

Mumble
gently caress Mumble, go to fuckgoons.com and throw that invite link in Discord. Then harass the poo poo out of people to get you authorized for the channel.

Servers
Bishyaler have a server he is sharing for everyone: (Sadly this is usually low to no pop even with how much effort he puts in.)

Client.connect 24.111.17.142:28015
This is the map for the server

Current rat-poo poo server being raided
Just check the last page or ask since we are constantly switching or ask in Discord (fuckgoons.com)

If anyone else should have a server or mumble server they would like added feel free to message me and I will add it to the above list.


Summary if you felt the above was too long

This is the game where you get to wave your dick around and bash other players in the head with rocks. It's fun and cheap so stop being stingy, it may be in early alpha stages but it's a blast and there is constantly updates where the headlines can be seen at playrust.com weekly. For returning and new players a great guide site I found is here. It explains how strong each wall is and what would be the best tool or what job.

If I forgot anything or got something wrong by all means please let me know and I will add it or correct it as soon as I can.


Tips for players
:pcgaming:Here are some tips for playing with goons on modded servers, follow this list to bathe in pubbie tears:pcgaming:
1.) Find out which server goons are currently on. Odds are you can read the last page of the thread and it will be there or just ask in the thread.
2.) Download Discord and then go to fuckgoons.com (fitting right?). Take that link and throw it in Discord and get someone to authorize you. :brnsndcstl:
3.) Find the map for the current server here, all you need to do is type in the server name and it should pull up, then sign in up top and on the right side start adding goons. Sometimes as soon as you join the clan it will automatically add them.
4.) Get in-game and start asking for a clan invite (we almost always play with a clan addon due to normal goon-v-goon violence.)
5.) Start adding goons to your friends list. Do this by typing /friend add (name.) This is normally required for setting home locations and sometimes for disabling friendly fire.
6.) Ask someone to teleport you to the goon base. This is done by typing /tpr (name) and the person accepting the teleport must type /tpa. If the server does not have a teleport mod ask for a sleeping bag to be placed down for your convience and then either die to another man, bear, nature, or kill yourself by bringing up the console (F1) and typing Kill, hit enter, then do it again.
7.) Once you are at the base, assuming there is a teleport mod, get somewhere on the ground floor and type /sethome (whatever name you want), generally servers with the mod will allow anywhere from 3-5 homes and there can be no cooldown between use up to 5 minutes of cooldown. Usually the cooldown from using /home is different from the cooldown of /tpa.
8.) Many servers also have a mod to allow doors to automatically close behind you, this is important for the dreadfort since there can be several hundred doors. You should try the command /ad 3, 3 being the number of seconds before the doors closes.
9.) Find any other useful mods and commands on the server either by typing /help, /?, or /info. Exploit them all as much as possible.



You can lay down a sleeping bag and use the interaction menu to assign it to a friend, making it easier to get together.
Using hatchets on stones and metal causes them to break down faster, same as using a pick on wood and such.
Armor will only protect where it actually covers, so the bucket won't protect your face but will cover the rest of your head.
A Tool Cupboard will prevent others from building within a certain radius of it, but it only protects in a dome shape so make sure you have cupboards on the ground floor!
Most basic resources can be gathered even without a rock. Look for hemp plants for cloth, there will be a small log for wood, and various stones will either have Stone, Metal Ore, or Sulfur Ore.
There are interior and exteriors to walls and doors now. Make sure to point the exterior out since it is much more durable.
You can only rotate items you have placed for 10 minutes, after that they are locked in place.
Save up Blueprint Fragments, you are able to upgrade them to get better blueprints
Send me more tips to put here because I am a horrible person who is somewhat brain dead. Oh and I am really lazy and bad about updating this OP

Just picked this up a couple of days ago. It's got a long way to go before it's a finished game, but it's still a blast. I spent my first few hours in the game attempting to burglarize every house I came across. I'd build ramps up to people's unlocked balconies or reach through their windows and loot their ill-placed boxes. I had looted a rifle, full set of clothes, a bunch of materials... Things were looking pretty good. Then, as I was building some stairs so I could break in through a second story balcony, some naked dude with a rock snuck up behind me, caved my brains in and took all of my stuff. All I could do was laugh.

Just a heads up, make sure you right click Rust, go to Properties, select the Beta Experimental otherwise there will be a lack of noises including footsteps. There is no beta key needed.

Just as a heads up I found out that you can just spam the jump button next to a wall and it will climb it. I've broken into many a house because there was a hole in the roof and I just climbed in. Many skulls were crushed in this method. Good times. I'll probably join you guys here in the near future, because I can see this being tons of fun playing with other people.

Well this game looks fun as hell. How easy is it to find places to loot? As awesome as that sounds I'm also kinda imagining booting up the game for the first time, spending 2 hours just wandering around with nothing of note in sight, and then getting brained with a rock from behind before I even see another player.

Actually the wall jumping was patch out today... Well technically yesterday now.

Was just sneaking around a pubbies house taunting him and firing shots at him. He hid inside and didn't move for a while so I built a staircase to where this building was less secure and busted in. I found him standing in a room AFK so I took his gun, ammo, all of his supplies and even his keys. I didn't even bother killing him I just stole his life.

Some pubbie on the official server done hosed up. He has (soon to be "had") a good sized fort with level 6 walls and a level 4 wall surrounding it. I made some stairs and hopped the wall (walls are useless) and then made another set of stairs to check the roof. Why would someone go to all this trouble building an amazing fort only to forget to upgrade the roof? Anyways, I'll report back in a few minutes once I punch a hole through the roof and finish looting.

Trip report: Dude is currently sleeping in a level 5 panic room. I stuck a chip clip on my mouse 1 button, so I'm going to go watch something on Netflix for a bit and then murder him once I've broken through.

Remember kids: if the whole structure isn't level 6, then you might as well not have any of it be level 6.

I'm just a total piece of shit and I'm not sure why I keep posting on this site. Christ, I have spent years with idiots giving me bad advice about online dating and haven't noticed that the thread I'm in selects for people that can't talk to people worth a damn.
the way level 6 works right now, you can actually make a level 6 building, tap each wall once with a rock, and it turns to "level 5". i'd totally do that with a 'panic room' to make you waste a lot of time hitting what is functionally a level 6 wall, lol

Epic Doctor Fetus
Jul 23, 2003

I'm not sure how long it took to break into the panic room, because I watched some TV while my chip clip did all the work. Anyways, I'd be really surprised if this guy doesn't rage quit the game. After breaking into his panic room, I looted his body, including his panic room key and all tools and materials, then I patched his panic room back up to level 6. I scored one of each gun, some nifty clothes, and approx 10K of each material.

After that, I moved onto my next target. As I approached the 3-story house, I could hear someone moving around inside. I squatted down in front of the doorway with my Thompson poised and ready. After a few minutes, the footsteps inside ceased, so I took cover by a nearby boulder in case he had a backdoor and was trying to flank me. After a few more minutes, night was falling, so I figured I might as well go into the house and force some action instead of getting shot in the dark. Once I got inside, I saw that this house had been designed with at least 5 escape routes, including a balcony that was over a lake. The house was empty, so I figure he must have jumped into the lake and swam to safety. At any rate, there wasn't anything of much use in the house, so I left.

Next time I log in, I'll build a tiny level 6 shack with a sleeping bag in the center and maybe a storage box or two. Unless you have an established town where there are defenders pretty much around the clock, there doesn't seem to be much of a point in building anything fancy, and the bigger houses seem to attract more attention.
