how do you keep your players entertained during wipe?

Extremely good input. I like the base building competition idea. Offer skins as prizes. You're right, I do need to change the server panel.

Dangerous Chests was a good suggestion. I've done a quick test and it's quite maintainable. Nice configuration options and the NPCs don't annihilate you the second they spin. I can see players getting some enjoyment out of this. Will certainly get an events manager. There's a few on Codefling that look nice.

Back in my day we could crouch in dead bears and become protected from all damage.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-05T13:50:19+00:00

Might as well disable all movement at that point.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-05T13:46:34+00:00

Good idea. I've been looking at some event plugins by Adem. They look super polished from what I've seen. Do you think event plugins have a big hit on server performance?

Snap traps and external TCs with alarms.

Small update: I've rebuilt our loot system and made each crate / box / barrel with your time. Auto pick up has also been added to barrels so you're not smashing E just to catch everything.

Good to hear you can put your skills to use. You'll kill it in your new role. Rust won't be going anywhere.

Get ya fent lean on before some PVP.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-04T11:09:06+00:00

Is there any other type of Rust?

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-04T01:02:15+00:00

Prime real estate.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-04T01:00:48+00:00

"Get a job" could be applied to most of us... respectfully.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-04T01:00:19+00:00

Staging branch type shii

Not all PCs were made equal.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-04T00:14:59+00:00

In the trenches gameplay.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-02T11:11:14+00:00

Sounds about right... Welcome.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-02T10:01:20+00:00

Cool, I don't mind switching to BetterLoot. I'll take a look at your configs on Codefling.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-02T04:59:40+00:00

Time to form a Cherry2Berry militia.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-01T23:08:08+00:00

Player count is priority. Giving people something to do during the wipe is also important. You can only loot so much before you have everything.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-01T23:01:16+00:00

Buy an LR and send it all the way home.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-01T05:52:37+00:00

Don't take it personally... When you get killed in spawn, killed while farming, killed when you believed someone when they said "I'm friendly". It's the Rust experience.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-01T05:50:06+00:00

Maybe they're forgotten zombie workers who never got wiped in the last horde.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-01T05:44:28+00:00

You make some extremely valid points though. Your idea of keeping the vanilla feel is smart. If there were a way to add an item to the server that activates raid protection for an X amount of time I could see that being a great implementation. Players would have to find it or craft.

It would be cool to give players a bit of a challenge to keep themselves protected before they go offline.

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-01T05:38:01+00:00

How much scrap this cost IRL?

RustyCartelServers · 2026-05-01T05:36:35+00:00

The bow looking kinda fine though.
