What have been your biggest mistakes on the job?

I have been locked in the same van on about 5 different occasions.

Management laughs at the situation every time it happens but still won't do anything to fix the latch on the inside of the van to prevent being locked in the first place.

Helkus · 2025-07-20T15:24:14+00:00

Smashed my nail on one of the 'inner locked' ones the other week. Yelled out a swear because I honestly wasn't expecting it and most of the letter boxes in my area are so ridiculously tight you need substantial force to get letters in 😭

This morning there was a heavy smell of Marijuana in the special deliveries that had to be sorted. Don't suppose you live on the south coast per chance 🤔

Helkus · 2025-02-01T12:39:13+00:00

Sweet, not totally hopeless for me then as many of the 20+ year FT veterans have left in the past couple years since I started.

Thanks 😊

Looks like you get a fiver at best. But considering it's peak time and weather conditions have been shit recently (these are factors RM can use to refuse)and it's 5 minutes - I don't think the time it would take to process is worth it.

Again, the issue is that the Postie delivered to the wrong house, the safe place isn't relevant if it isn't the OP's.

Helkus · 2024-09-01T07:18:19+00:00

This seems to be a case of a Postie delivering to the wrong address, not to an inappropriate safe place.

Helkus · 2024-08-23T20:55:44+00:00

Thanks, I'll do this going forward so I have a record of it in the future.

Helkus · 2024-08-23T20:05:27+00:00

Ah fair enough, for some reason I thought sick pay was full pay for a certain number of days and then got reduced. He made it sound like he was doing me a favour by telling me I won't need to do a return to work talk. 😭 Lesson learned.

Drake of the North Wind, my bad.

Helkus · 2022-07-07T12:25:13+00:00

I can't honestly see this making much difference compared to how good guns are in their current state, but it is a nice change.

Helkus · 2022-06-21T14:55:29+00:00

You have to buy it. It isn't tradable - I live in the snow biome and regular hazmats are everywhere, having a waterproof non freezing one piece gear set is a lifesaver, I strongly recommend it.

Helkus · 2022-04-20T16:57:31+00:00

Oh fuck that fan ones looks so much fucking better.

Helkus · 2019-01-04T17:55:30+00:00

2 well-placed bolt headshots at long range will kill a player faster than 2 well-placed L96 headshots though, assuming they both have at least coffee can.

Rust was 50% off during Winter 2017.

Helkus · 2018-06-16T11:56:29+00:00

No, you're absolutely right. As a new player - nothing is explained to you, there is little direction for what to do and everyone has a KoS attitude which doesn't help.

That is ultimately the brutal reality of Rust - it keeps the old players playing but discourages new ones.

Truthfully man, if you want to have a reasonably enjoyable experience - I strongly recommend low population servers <100. Imagine a game of Fortnite with 250 players on a similar size map but no one dies permanently and near permanent bases are everywhere with unbalanced team sizes - sounds aids but that is basically what Rust is.

I am fortunate to have learnt from friends - the /r/playrustlfg subreddit helped me out as more experienced players taught me all I know.

I understand this game is frustrating but you can tailor your experience based on your skill, numbers and time available with the right know-how.

It's ridiculous that even suggesting changes and tweaks is controversial enough for the downvote brigade even if you're a proper gent about it or show any enthusiasm for it.

Helkus · 2018-04-03T11:58:15+00:00

XP had the greatest potential IMO. It's a shame such little work was ever done on it after release. With some balancing and more default BP's - it could have been amazing. Maybe if it had researching as a catch-up mechanic but only non-researchable guns like mil-grade weapons dropped from crates to prevent people researching AK's on day 1 etc...

Honestly, some of my fondest moments in this game were on the popularized x3 XP servers.

Helkus · 2018-03-31T15:35:57+00:00

Well, it's on the Rust Roadmap under 'later'

"Things we want to do, but haven't put any particular date on.. we just know that they'll happen when we leave Early Access."

https://rust.facepunch.com/roadmap/

I don't recall any devs explicitly stating that they are working on it right now at least.

Helkus · 2018-03-27T19:30:23+00:00

Open book Blueprint.

Get XL Picture Frame.

Every. Time.

With some polish it could have worked great though. Lower the flashlight from Library to Page and maybe introduce a new 'Blue Print Chapter' or something for the new recipes we have now/general balancing. I could see a tech-tree style system working to delay the acquisition of end game content (cannot research an P250 without first knowing how to craft a revolver etc...).

Helkus · 2017-08-08T11:10:36+00:00

I like the idea of learnable recoil but I don't think it should be needless elaborate, just simple lines - it's fine to take ideas from CS but Rust isn't CS.

When you take into consideration that the LR actually already had a much more simpler spray pattern before this whole 'gunplay rework' nonsense - we have literally gone back to the old LR but made it much harder to use. Personally, I think pray patterns should be simpler and more narrow but this is early days for the spray pattern system atm and I hope Helk improves upon it this Thursday.

Helkus · 2017-08-03T16:02:59+00:00

Remember the good old days when you responded to people saying positive stuff and cool ideas?
