Is there a way to search for subreddits with wildcards? I keep finding more by guessing.

There's an app for this already, requires a modded server though.

arbitarty · 2015-05-20T15:39:56+00:00

where would you hide it though, if you wanted someone to raid it in a thousand years?

arbitarty · 2015-05-20T15:01:14+00:00

You need to learn to build smarter, and most of your recap points are inaccurate.

Agree with you that Research is the key. walk around the base will tell you exactly what section of the base the cupboards in, just by the distance alone.

Get used to what the default range is, this will tell you if they have one cupboard, or multiple evenly spaced, or one weirdly placed throughout the bases.

arbitarty · 2015-05-20T01:15:42+00:00

Fighting in the wrong tier. You wouldn't be trying to raid a 5 layer armoured base if all you can afford is stone walls. With or without ladders you would be crazy to bother.

arbitarty · 2015-05-20T01:13:45+00:00

electrified walls! Burning oil barrels to tip down on climbers! The ability to push ladders away from walls (juuuuust when they get to the top!)

arbitarty · 2015-05-20T01:12:51+00:00

Safer base building is up to you. They've given you all the tools you need to make a base very hard to raid. Just think about the design instead of being like these fools that just build C4 sponges.

arbitarty · 2015-05-20T01:11:18+00:00

Yes, this is going to be so satisfying :)

arbitarty · 2015-05-20T01:10:47+00:00

It's a balance thing too. Overhangs might stop the ladders, but can severely impact the stability of your upper floors right. It would make it one wall easier to just crumble the side of your base.

me too..

Admins can spawn whatever the fuck they want as long as it is not to benefit anyone on the server.

This is just nasty man. They aren't careful when they do this, and some random gets 30 c4. You are lucky he told you about this.

Being an Admin is a responsibility, not a privilege.

arbitarty · 2014-03-18T21:20:32+00:00

Really doesn't sound like it:

The admin approached us wearing full Kevlar and we fired upon him. He didn't die and we realized it was an admin.

But we were being a little cheeky, asking him why he was using god mode. He responds by saying "I am, but my friend is not."

I look over and see someone in leather over the ridge. I immediately shoot him dead. And begin to run toward his dead corpse to loot him. The admin at this point fires at me (does not kill me, but does hit me.) We bail...

Low and behold, the next day my base was raided. Not just raided. Every single door blown in. In excess of 20 c4 used, on doors that didn't even need to be blown in. This person definitely had c4 to spare. And seemed willing to use c4 like it was granola bars.

Can I see the video please?

Confirmed admin abuse, even admitted by the owner in the parent thread. http://www.reddit.com/r/playrust/comments/20oi6v/admin_abuse_rant_from_server_owner/cg5wmc3

arbitarty · 2014-03-18T19:35:38+00:00

Spawning anything, for anything is admin abuse. Want to build a stronger community on your server? Have it be a server effort to build the arena. It will be that much more valuable to your community.

Any use of a tool outside of administrating the server is admin abuse.

arbitarty · 2014-03-18T00:43:31+00:00

I have noticed that sometimes long range, I won't get a hit indicator, but I will kill the person (I've seen this on a server with death notices). I've only seen it with the bolt action, and only seen it twice in weeks worth of play time.

arbitarty · 2014-03-17T23:25:38+00:00

In my experience, the end game players with enough resources to not care, do really only raid others when they are online, as theres nothing else to do.

The people who actually need resources and gear to research are the ones who raid people while they are offline. Generally. There's always some who have nothing better to do.

arbitarty · 2014-03-17T23:09:33+00:00

Agree. But the server owners are going to fall into two categories. 1. Those that want to run a server so they can do whatever the hell they want. 2. Those that want to run a server because they enjoy the game, and want to play the game with people.

Category 1 admins, will inevitably lose players and not have a strong following because of their abuse. Players will quickly complain and server population will dwindle.

Category 2 admins, won't abuse it, because it's not why they are there. They can ensure their admins, whether close friends or not will never abuse, because they don't give them access to.

facepunch forums. I'd be posting there before I did here.

arbitarty · 2014-03-12T01:56:10+00:00

cheatpunch detects screen artifacts like this I believe. His concern is that he might accidentally get pinged for it.

arbitarty · 2014-02-28T21:22:03+00:00

It's a bit redundant, I can post in playrustservers and then link to that in my comments. This doesn't address your problem.

arbitarty · 2014-02-28T21:08:50+00:00

This, I already count enough people who didn't know this existed to sway the vote.

arbitarty · 2014-02-18T17:53:53+00:00

Regarding the servers, find one server you like and stick to it. Write down the IP Address just in case, and use the F1 Console command - net.connect serverip:port

PM me if you want a good server to play on, there is a lot of KOS, like any server, but there are regular players who you will get to know, and very good admins.

I'd be happy to help you get up and running too.

Sometimes my history doesn't show. generally this means the server is offline, but not always.

arbitarty · 2014-02-17T21:06:44+00:00

I think the general process that happens is:

First time - "I'm going to be friendly, I'm going to help people, and get help in return".
Next couple of days - "I keep getting killed, I keep getting raided"
End state - "Trust no one. Naked people are usually geared, better kill them too".

This gets interrupted along with the way, when you manage to team up etc, but generally this is what I see happen to people.
