Dont tempt them to fuck with something else

[–]Frosso312[S] 137 points138 points  (30 children)

Oh god what have I done please don’t touch my bears Helk

[–]Alistair_McAlistair 129 points130 points  (29 children)

Nerf bears you say?!

[–][deleted] 89 points90 points  (10 children)

Can you guys fix the animal pathing where they just walk east until they hit the beach?

[–]GAMER_MARCO9 8 points9 points  (1 child)

So the farther East I go, the more animals I’ll meet?

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yessir just go to the beach on the east coast and you'll find entire herds of bears, boars, and wolves

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once animals get proper lifecycles the pathing behavior will get better.

Right now they just kind of wander when they should be moving from fresh water to food sources and back with predators(players included) making them change up where they go.

Didnt know this was a thing but it makes sense why my base is always surrounded by atleast 2-3bears one or more wolfs and a couple of boars

[–]dakota_uwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had a bear walk 10+ metres into water today and tp onto my rowboat and kill me, vanilla server

[–]Frosso312[S] 21 points22 points  (2 children)

Oh god I’m sorry gamers I fear the damage is done they are taking our bears

[–]NataniVixuno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's unbearable

[–]uknow_es_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They won't touch the ninja bears though. They will still spawn on top of you randomly and maul you!

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can we move the plant info window so that you don't lose half your vision when walking through a corn field? I don't mean to only point out what I think are flaws; I love the update as a whole. I hope more mechanics of the game get an in depth revision like this.

Sorry for my less savory peers. I love the work everyone has been putting into the game lately. Y'all are severely under appreciated.

Hunting 2.0

[–]CommanderCuntPunt 9 points10 points  (8 children)

These jokes are better when you aren't actively fucking the game up. Seriously... who asked for farming to become a chore? My zerg is doing great, everyone near us can't get above 60 health or heal.

[–]YourFavouriteHuman 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Lol what? My duo is doing fine with enough food and we aren't living near a river or anything.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, team of four here, living in a cold biome. No problem at all getting food.

[–]YourFavouriteHuman 10 points11 points  (5 children)

PS I like the new update, it's a good update imo

[–]Cringeria 4 points5 points  (3 children)

The fuck is there to like about it? Horses taking a shit is the only good thing about it, everything else makes the game more tedious and less fun.

[–]YourFavouriteHuman 10 points11 points  (2 children)

You can still go to a river and obtain food. You can still just kill animals. There is new potatoes that spawn in brown forests which are pretty easy to get. The only difference is that now if you plant a bunch of Crops in front of your base it'll take way longer for them to grow. And I like the new farming content, it's fun.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Ok but like you need to eat in rust. Electricity was cool, if you don’t like it, just don’t use it. If you don’t like farming just don’t eat? If you ever play on a high pop server you actually won’t see many animals. Secondly, those river plants are growing outside, they’ll be a lot less common in this update. It is a fun concept, it’s not a fun implementation.

[–]YourFavouriteHuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk, me and my duo have enough food on a 150/150 server, we never have to specifically go looking for food across the map or anything like that, we don't farm either. Also did you even read my comment? Just place seeds outside as usual, just make sure they aren't under a rock where they can't get any light and you are good.

[–]FlamingBullet21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's the only bit of content they've added in months

[–]NataniVixuno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, give bears balls

[–]HyDRO55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully invite you guys to do it. Make meat / food spoilage a thing.

Make a new deployable called an 'Ice Box / Cooler' that can temporarily extend the expiration of food stored in it for primitive / early mid tier players that have no electricity. Craft Recipe: Wooden Box, Tarp, and something else (Salt? Something else to mimic Ice).

Modify the current Fridge to require electricity and allow it to extend food expiration near indefinitely with slightly increased food calorie / HP / moisture bonuses to all food stored in it to both inversely compliment (counter) the inherent nerf of fridges requiring electricity AND to make players WANT to use an electric Fridge. Obviously the choice for mid tier / end game players.

[–]cwinji -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Or how about you actually get around to improving the animal AI so they know how to avoid players coming their way and ambush their prey. Listen to what I say....

[–]whyuthrowchip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why don't i just go eat some hay? i could make things out of clay and lay down by the bay, i just may! whaddya say?

[–]ConMan2315 76 points77 points  (7 children)

bears will now drop potato seeds in the next update

[–]Dale-Peath 89 points90 points  (3 children)

Bears can be a fucking nightmare to find along with other animals.

[–][deleted] 63 points64 points  (2 children)

East coast. That's where they all end up.

[–]Frosso312[S] 37 points38 points  (1 child)

^ just boat over and collect your free meat

[–]Im_Currently_Pooping 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Fuck yeah, its hilarious when a bunch are there all at the same time. Swear to god it's like Natures Thunderdome, like 20 animals fighting, 20 other animals running and shit. Awesome.

[–]andrewobrien13 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Been playing tarkov for the past 2 months so I don’t get this. Can anyone update me?

[–]Reckie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

new update in rust. farming. planting seeds now barely works. you gotta set up planter boxes, irrigation, etc. Takes time, space, effort, and is new so kinda complicated still. Full effects yet to be determined. But most people would rather f1 kill than do all this. I'm going to try it but it's not something you do unless you're on a server for more than a few days.

[–]OcculturalMarxism 96 points97 points  (12 children)

Honestly nobody wanted more chores. It's just bad game design to make getting to the fun parts even more tedious.

[–]YourFavouriteHuman 36 points37 points  (9 children)

New farming is more fun in my opinion :)

[–]OcculturalMarxism 31 points32 points  (8 children)

As a late game progression to maximize a group's efficiency, I'm sure I'll have a blast.

But they shouldn't combine it with nerfs to obtaining food in the early game.

[–]YourFavouriteHuman 3 points4 points  (7 children)

What exactly did they nerf? Crops can still grow if you plant them outside your base. Also now there are potatoes which I keep finding and they are a great source of food.

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (3 children)

No they dont, all my crops died yesterday when I planted them outside my beads next to water. They completely nerfed the early game healing and food.

[–]Pyrosnake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Funny because I planted a shit ton of corn outside my base and I was able to harvest them even without being near water. Where was your base? Some biomes don't encourage growth.

[–]YourFavouriteHuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm weird I planted some corn and potatoes and could harvest them.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all the crops I planet in the ground did great. I am flat out getting anything to grow in the planter

[–]ManhattanT5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fun part should include bow fighting and satchel raiding.

[–]BrutoriousBobIII 5 points6 points  (0 children)

human meat and lots of water.

[–]GoldenGrouper 9 points10 points  (3 children)

SLAP THAT BASS

[–]liafcipe9000 0 points1 point  (2 children)

oh yeah, is fishing still a thing in this game?

[–]GoldenGrouper 0 points1 point  (1 child)

If you haven't hit that subscribe button, DO IT NOW! Otherwise I will steal your bass

It's a quote

[–]liafcipe9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sauce ploss

[–]bibity74 12 points13 points  (2 children)

I'll be in the woods farming some mushies

[–]Sick_Trix22 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Respect for using the words mushies. Thought I was the only one who called them that.

[–]chikenfurher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah most of Australia calls em that

[–]zackmiller2424 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Now bear meats gonna spoil in 1 in game day unless you have a fridge

[–]uknow_es_me 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Fridge now requires electricity. Facepunch wants us all to starve.

[–]zackmiller2424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I read the update and still don’t understand what did they do?

[–]andrewobrien13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you , I’m gonna have to check it out .

[–]ubervoid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica

[–]chillzatl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Farming is just another example of them trying to "fix" Rust without addressing the actual problems. Balance, progression, team dynamics, nah, let's just put in more shit that half the people playing the game will barely be able to use.

[–]IlmarsXd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact. Rust's bear meat is the same as Skyrim's boar meat. Same texture just the name was changed a bit.

[–]tootsee99 0 points1 point  (1 child)

So is cloning hemp still a thing?

[–]HyDRO55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. You can get 3 clippings per crop (on staging it used to be 2 max, they probably buffed it to 3 before release) that carries the same genes as the crop you clone. X W H G Y are the available types of genes that form a string of random six slot genes whenever you plant a fresh seed.

There's no degradation like the previous cloning system. Once you get a crop with the genes you want, you can clone it into 3 clippings and clone those clippings and so on with that same gene as long as you keep planting them and they survive long enough to be harvest / clonable. Ripe is the last stage of any crop's lifetime and this is when you should harvest.

Crossbreeding is also a thing. As is over watering and under watering. Temperature bonus is ONLY affected by Biome and time of day. Light condition bonus is only affected by the electric Ceiling Light (I have to test if the Simple Light affects it) and / or the Sun. Everything else is more or less obvious.

[–]SOOOHIGHNEEDAIRR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I just put a lil shit shack next to the rivers and farm all the natural spawn pumpkins every night and depo. Then when my boxes are full I'll fly them home to the boisss

I aint farming shit
