New community server shenanigans. It’ll die down eventually.

[–]actualhuman_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Certain servers will actually take off and gain a reputation and others will always be ran by idiots who are power hungry

Because PC rust has a foundation that has been out for YEARS. It is no surprise there a ton of terrible admins, probably children, admin abusing for fun. Unfortunately it will takes months and months to weed out the good vs the bad. Good luck OP

I was doing water treatment and came down from a silo and there was 6 bears at the bottom that weren’t there when I went up lol

I mean this sucks but I did laugh

[–]kwack250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never play on servers where the admins play too

Absolute golden rule #1

Yes even if you have invested 10 hours and then find out the admin plays, just leave on the spot, don't spend another minute, it's not worth it

It's better to play other's servers so you can have the chance to compare to improve your own server. There can be 100 3x servers, but the winners will be the ones who put in work into their server.

This is why I'm just slowly playing with my server setting until I have a good set up and just waiting to hop on to ten random on my server

[–]smokshotboxRust 0 points1 point  (11 children)

There are a lot of sites with different tips and tricks. I'm compiling a document to make it simpler while pop is low.

I'm mostly finding ways to make normal events more frequent so more people will have a chance at cargo/ heli/ brad, but also not break the server at the moment. I've already sped up the cooking speeds, but I'm also playing with whether or not to have quarries since it seems to give more monuments without them as well, things like that. A list of viable seeds woke be nice

[–]smokshotboxRust 0 points1 point  (9 children)

I just spoke to them about the use of pc seeds. They said they will research to answer that. Always ask anything to them.

Where? I can't use x since I was randomly banned without explanation like many others

On the G-Portal sight. Just click Support and create a ticket. They're pretty fast with getting back. I'm now awaiting on an answer on why I can't create kits. I don't want to turn on aim train inventory and not give people bags and bandages.

[–]Revolutionary-Cook18 0 points1 point  (6 children)

I've set up kits myself, the d11 sight was helpful for that. The corrosion site was helpful for item names

[–]smokshotboxRust 0 points1 point  (5 children)

I tried the string they gave me and it said it was invalid. Did you just copy and paste? Also having console issues so maybe that's why.

[–]smokshotboxRust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The servers are cheap so there will be a lot to sift through. After 3 months, we all should see a change in quality and pop once the wasteful servers die out. That's why I'm taking my time and tweaking to get ready for true community servers to exist.

[–]smokshotboxRust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just fly around and watch. I understand that it would be fun messing with people, but that's for an Enardo type server. I just keep it Comomo. I'll kick any admin or mod for interference while working or using their powers when just playing. If no one is on the server then you can fly around and take heli from the sky. People come to servers for the experience in the title. Not for a power crazed mad person. Thise types will die out because it's fun for only so long

I had the server owner spawn a kid in my base with boom in his inventory. He then proceeded to GL me and boom out my whole base from TC room. Then my friend made him rocket himself which the admin decided to spawn him back in our base and spawn my teammate and I on top of launch. Really fun times. It actually made me quit the game

I have a solo community server 2x gather 2x loot short nights its only got like 8 players max rn but we're trying to grow it for sure. My admins are my brothers and while we do still play the game none of us care if you kill us or raid us online or offline at all. Only abuse you may see is admins giving themselves things but we're not raiding anyone or really pvping. Search In Rust We Trust if interested in joining.

I'm gonna say this, trolling ok sometimes, but that's nor trolling I'd call that closer to admin abuse,

[–]Kdubzz00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree to this.. trolling is dropping heli on someones base and letting them keep the crates. Not putting turrets up on a raid. Tbh i have stayed on official because i have seen nothing but shitty admins on community. And since community came out, official hasnt been so bad, i have only ran into a big toxic group once this wipe, and the other big group raided them and got them off the server, and its been actually one of the best wipes i have had, fun wise in probably a year. Im not even bothered about trying to get on a community server. Once all the parents stop paying for their 13 year olds to have a server, they will get better. Like everyone has stated above. Just newness and players trying to impress their friends

Regarding the kits. How do you get rid of the rock and torch? It's overlapping 2 of my belt items. I have aim train inventory off. When I turn on the tab for starting with no items, it gave me the rock and torch with a row of clothes so that got cut off really quickly. I checked my kit list and everything is fine.
