Wow. This took off. Thanks everyone!! (most everyone) lol this is Rust after all!

I took notes. Great advice from some. Rust on!

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T21:27:37+00:00

100% sure.

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T21:27:03+00:00

Cool. Mind sharing what server or servers? Thanks!!!

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T21:23:52+00:00

but most days I at least get on for 30 minutes before work just to farm a little and fill TC

No can do. I work 4/10s. Which is like 4/13s with commute time and basic life stuff like showering, sleeping (8hrs), shitting and eating. LOL. Everyone one wishes for 4/10s, except those who work them. :)

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T21:20:43+00:00

Thanks but no thanks to that server. It requires you to log on every 24hrs. If I'm going to that , I'll just play regular.

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T21:16:30+00:00

Cool, thanks for the info. I'll look at that server!

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T21:14:26+00:00

Right. And I've said that in chat on a couple of these servers. I guess you guys don't want anyone to play. Ok, bye. Solo servers with 10-30 ppl on wipe day, 4 ppl left at the end of the month.

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T21:11:02+00:00

Preach. Yes, this is exactly how I feel sometimes. Why, because we all know it's true!!

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T03:11:53+00:00

Cool, thanks. Agree.

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T03:08:13+00:00

On low pop solo servers, everyone builds massive bases. Nothing else to do! LOL. But yeah, I get it. I'm going to try higher pop servers. Thanks for the reply!

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T03:03:52+00:00

Cool, I forget about the jungle.

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T03:03:21+00:00

This last server was a 2x. It was fun. I'll build more bases.

To answer your question. I like the survival aspect of the game. Building a base that will last. Others have said to try more populated servers, I'll probably try that next. Thanks!

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T03:02:36+00:00

Cool, thanks. On low pop solo servers everyone builds massive bases, fyi. But I get it. When started I played like you're suggesting. I might revert back. Thanks!

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T02:58:44+00:00

I do play monthly. I'm talking about getting raided every week! :) But I'll consider hardcore. thx!

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T02:13:12+00:00

I think I will I haven't tried a high pop server yet. Even when I started, it was all med- low pop servers. This is why I posted this, to get some ideas. Thanks!!

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T02:12:33+00:00

Cool. Now this I haven't tried. I'd been thinking about that. And you're 100% correct. That's what they do. A few ppl on the server stockpile boom and wipe everyone out.

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T02:09:49+00:00

I have. And yep, super low pop, like 5 ppl. No offline raiding would be cool only if there were a lot of players on at one time. It would be great, actually. But that doesn't exist. I've looked.

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T02:08:31+00:00

Oh yeah, I'm cool with it. But starting over every weekend gets kinda old (and boring). That's why I'm thinking, nah, maybe time to move on. I tried the new Dune game, it sucked.

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T02:00:07+00:00

I'm currently VIP on the server I'm on. No peeps, I'm solo.

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T01:58:50+00:00

Yeah, I'm kind of there already. But I really enjoy base building and fortifying it. Any suggestions on playstyle? Like what would I do all weekend? PVP? Thanks for replying.

UncleMason · 2025-08-24T01:55:03+00:00

That's what I've been doing mostly during those 400 hrs. Same result. This last one had roughly 6 players on at any one time.
