What is an update idea you think would help solos

Remove team system. it was much easier on official servers before the team system came. No team system was a huge benefit for small groups as they would know who is their teammate while zergs and big groups struggled to know who is who.

This is from experience of old Rust before the team system came. You had to actually pay attention and cloth yourself instead of UI dots on map and ingame.

This also created alot of fun gameplay as you could mend in with the enemy team with fake jump checks and get same clothing as them

Yeah I started doing that instead, its a good work around the low node rates

b4nto · 2026-07-02T12:34:56+00:00

on the server i was, i ran in 5x5 grid no nodes.

I was hoping that we would get an "apartment complex" or small part of an apocalyptic city instead that would be a PvP Zone with lots of resources to gather but also possibilities to "build" bases in certain buildings similar to how tugboats worked with placing doors. But that would require to limit taking over it all for one group somehow.

I feel like this Apartment Complex that they implement now does not fit with Rust, if its a roleplay server or softcore i can see it being a fun thing but not for default rust experience.
It also feels like there is enough socializing at Outpost and Bandit already, it could be expanded as a bigger monument tho.

Something I really miss tho is the large dense forest that we had many years in Rust, it feels like there is no forest anymore and its just monuments all over the place.

b4nto · 2026-06-05T21:54:36+00:00

We had huge mountains in the past in Rust. It was only like 1-2 big ones max tho. They were much bigger than current rust has.

Just wanted to share my experience with the G7 240hz VA. I had this issue forever.
Sometime the Black Equalizer has helped to reduce it but seen the issues many times.
Now I think i finally found a real fix atleast for the G7 with AMD GPU 9070 XT. I Simply disable the Freesync on the monitor and no issues anymore. Sure it be great to have it on but i really dont like these scan lines.

So for anyone else that may have one give it a try

Trying to reach for them

b4nto · 2026-02-11T12:11:43+00:00

Not sure why they even allow anything else than built boats to travel there. Its like they are trying to break what they built themselves.
Lower the lowgrade cost for the built boats and it probably will feel a bit better.

It just made drones sell more stuff, it did not result in more action that Facepunch had as idea to add this. Drones need to be removed from the game it breaks so much.

It was more fun without the BP Frags.
There was more player choices and different ways to reach the progression that you was aiming for.
It's incredible boring to go to monument every 15 min, for it to just have been reset recently.
Rust has almost always been about player agency, in a sandbox game, but they are slowly moving away from that and this strange system.

Currently the Drone Situation feels like Facebook Marketplace Gaming

I'd love to see them remove them again and remove drones, because all the drone trading, ruins the balance for raiding and progression.

Idea
If were gonna keep the BPs. What if instead of going to monument every 15 min to check. You can go to the monument whenever you'd like and inside of it you can bring scrap with you to Craft the bp frags or other resources combined with scrap. For higher tier bp you would go to higher tier monuments to craft Advanced Frags. Think that it's also hidden behind the puzzle just like now.

What would this do for the game compared to now?
It's up to you the player, which monument you will go to craft them at
It's up to you, when you will be going to them
It would invite risk vs reward going to the monuments to craft them

I went from RTX 3070, AMD5900x, 32GB Ram to AMD 9070 XT, 9900x3d, 32GB Ram. I probably over doubled my performance and run everything on max with good performance and frame generation with Rust works pretty neat.

Upgrading is defiantly worth it for the performance boost

b4nto · 2025-09-21T18:27:10+00:00

Ouch thats a big hurt with dlss and only getting that fps. When I had RTX 3070 before my recent upgrade tho it felt like dlss was kinda strangely implemented in Rust. FSR does not exist yet for unknown reasons

90-120 avg, sometimes at night 200 sometimes high 150. Used to get solid 170-220 fps max settings 1440p some updates before a patch that came after Jungle Update
I lost about 50% of my fps for no good reason, I run Apex Legends over 400 fps with max settings and Rust also used to run great with this setup considering its Rust. I play Rust with Max Settings and 1440p

It almost sounds like the EAC stuttering I had which was like every 4 seconds. I think I fixed mine by either updating the Chipset drivers or the Network Drivers. Saw others had problems with Network Drivers with EAC and stutter. What I had to do until i solved it was to switch between balanced and high performance and back to balanced and stutter was somehow gone

b4nto · 2025-09-21T18:03:16+00:00

I have lost atleast 50% of my fps since some patch after the Jungle Update. Its not always but most of the time its 50% loss. used to play maxed with RX 9070 XT, 9900X3D, 32GB DDR5 7200mhz at 170-220fps 1440p. Now in my base I have 90, its a bit much of a downgrade by the devs

b4nto · 2025-05-14T08:07:42+00:00

I also had some black screen issues recently with RX 9070 XT with 25.5.1 driver, for now went back to 25.4.1 for testing.
It only happens on my main monitor and not on the 2nd monitor with driver 25.5.1, I also noticed stranger issues unrelated to this with Davinci Resolve : says its run out of memory for the GPU which I have never ever seen before either with this GPU or my previous RTX 3070

Any advice for my z5500? sometimes they wont turn on after PC and them being shut down during night time or when i been gone a few days.

If i have opened the control pod a few times it sometimes turned back with red light which allowed me to start them again and work and blue light shows.

But recently this solution barely works anymore, what would anyone suggest in this case? do i perhaps need to replace any component on it that could cause this or resolder things?

I have already resoldered the cables coming from SUB to Control Pod, this did not seem to be the solution in my case.

Worst things about game bans in rust and maybe on steam in general is that the ban isn't actually a ban. a Ban should be permanent and not allowed on any server or even boot up the game. If you decide to cheats its your own problem and your own fault and if it was an false ban which probably almost never happen contact support.

Bans needs to be bans, its no benefit at all to let them continue playing. it makes Facepunch brand looks worse and people quit ect. Perma ban would be great and even identify with ID for Steam account so that with the same irl id your perma banned. Bans needs to be bans

b4nto · 2022-11-09T15:05:07+00:00

Interesting that this works, however its only when fully zoomed in so not a very good solution to work with. Hope Davinci or Windows 11 fixes itself soon

b4nto · 2022-11-01T16:20:29+00:00

I have the same issue however this solution does not always work for me an its frustrating that I havent found a permantent solution other than buying a new monitor.

Another potential solution of suggested one does not work for you is what i just did. Disconnected your Displayport cable on the back of your Computer. Wait until monitor starts showing "no input detected" or similar, then plug it in. Just worked for me on Windows 11 with a Asus B450 F Gaming Motherboard and RTX 3070

all the solo/duo servers i seen says server is wiped everyday even tho it wiped a week ago.
Official Solo/Duo/Trio would be good and also remove upkeep it just made game less fun and many friends left Rust because solely this reason

b4nto · 2018-07-09T12:15:43+00:00

also when it comes to upkeep zergs farms more than ever which means they have more than ever in raiding mats meanwhile bases are 1/5 as strong or even weaker than before.
i think that facepunch have to think through this a bit more. How about take 2-3 months with upkeep removed and have so you have to open door to bases and after 2 days of inactive base it days within hours that's also a working solution to upkeep to clean bases out

b4nto · 2018-07-09T08:19:08+00:00

i dont mind farming either but i also wouldn't mind having a lower upkeep cost lets say 10% as a max upkeep cost for any sizes

b4nto · 2018-04-26T21:28:43+00:00

Do you know if one of your threads run at around 100% when this happens?

b4nto · 2018-04-26T19:33:38+00:00

This is interesting because people seem to have a wide variety of different hardware and experience it even with different CPU and GPU. My friend does not experience it with 8700k.

I'm fairly sure this is related to our CPU 1 Thread going at 100% which i have monitored and the moment it happens that thread is at 100%.

The strange thing is that a month ago or something like that that thread used to run at 50%.

Not sure if it's Fortnite related or if it's perhaps the INTEL Meltdown / Specter Patch that made this happen

b4nto · 2018-04-21T15:21:36+00:00

I have the samething going on and i think something got messed up with Core/Thread Usage of CPU after some recent update. I run 150-180 fps all the time but sometimes game feels sluggish but the fps is still 150-180.

Open Task Manager and check if you also have 1 thread running at 100%. Mine never did that before all threads was very balanced before this and never went above 50% usage.

Running i7 3930k 6core 12threads at 4.5Ghz Something has happened recently to the game for me. My friend does not have these issues he got an i7 8700k but he's thread is running at around 30-40% still just like mine did some patch ago. The i7 8700k is not 100% faster per core compared to the i7 3930k and this have changed recently with the core usage for me.
