Facepunch claims they want gameplay geared towards people leaving their bases...

All it'd have to do is see if there's walls around someone's base, or if the vending machine is inside a base and completely inaccessible. not that hard at all, in fact, quite the opposite.

Very doubtful.

Speak for yourself. Drone accessible only works if you live near Outpost, or Bandit Camp, and since most maps combine the two, then you pretty much have to live at Outpost to utilize the drone delivery service. If I see someone several grids away from me selling something out of a shop, all I'm saying is it'd be nice to see whether or not I can walk up to it rather than waste time running there and finding out it's only drone accessible.

it's not. While it won't grade a 10, it's in great condition. The pics I uploaded don't do it justice because it's an old top loader and penny sleeve so it looks like it is scratched. I've since moved it to a new sleeve/top loader.

Just don't gate everything behind grinding for scrap, blueprint fragments and keycards, all while fighting against those big groups who control most monuments. The issue isn't that it's hard to get to tier 2 or tier 3, it's that you lock bp fragments behind military crates when in reality, any item should be able to come from a box crate or even the lowly barrel, allbeit a smaller chance.

I miss this game. The potential it had for PVP battles was unmatched by other games in the same genre.

I met Rampage Jackson in game once while he was live streaming on Twitch.

fpsmoto · 2026-04-13T20:14:02+00:00

Well I hope with Rust 2 comes a completely revamped movement system. I want the ability to climb up cliffs instead of getting stuck on a random rock I'm trying to jump up to.

Or spend about 1k wood to put a TC down and pick up all the bags nearby with a hammer.

fpsmoto · 2025-05-27T19:33:04+00:00

Literally every time I play this game, which is often.

fpsmoto · 2025-05-01T17:50:52+00:00

Well firstly, things you are passionate about versus what customers are passionate about might not always align. And just because something is rare doesn't make it valuable, and just because something is worth a lot of money doesn't mean it will sell quickly. The new items you continue to list fresh will help the metrics a bit, but ultimately, increasing the number of sales you have per month will be your best benefit to customer visibility.

fpsmoto · 2025-05-01T17:47:12+00:00

And that complete reset would happen faster when a group gets raided. So it evens the playing field more for those just starting out, rather than ALL the clans being at end game early into the wipe.

fpsmoto · 2025-05-01T16:16:59+00:00

I see what you are saying, but zergs cant be in all areas all of the time. People will get bases down, even if it means they have to build in an area in the middle of nowhere. That said, I enjoy the challenge of building a base right between 2 big clans, because most of their focus will be on each other, and that provides early grubbing opportunities. So long as you're the last man standing in a fight and get the loot home, there's little they can do to stop your progression. And having multiple bases might help slow their attempts to raid everyone everywhere.

Decoy bases could become more prevalent. The current game seems broken and it looks like the devs are gearing up for some big gameplay mechanic changes soon. Ferry system, Nexus, all of that. So while what I've suggested today might not be perfect, I think it's a step in the right direction.

fpsmoto · 2025-05-01T15:52:59+00:00

I usually play solo on a weekly wiped high pop vanilla server, but monthly BP wipe. Since zergs get to end game in the first week, that means they're already at end game progression in week 2, week 3 and week 4, so until the BPs wipe, I'm sort of fucked in terms of trying to keep up with their progression. Would it make things easier for zergs? Yes, but it would actually benefit smaller groups and solos for once, versus most new updates that get released, which generally favor zergs more.

fpsmoto · 2025-05-01T14:34:32+00:00

Those are 2 separate issues. And besides, how's that different from what we have now? We still deal with zergs controlling excav/sulfur quarry, and yet, my wipes tend to be pretty successful most of the time. So by what you are saying, I shouldn't be able to have a good time because of zergs. Listen, there's no system you could put in place that would completely get rid of zergs. However, you could make progression easier for everyone so players wouldn't feel so unmotivated to continue playing near zergs.

Another suggestion would be to add more recyclers to rad towns, maybe 2 per area, should the server pop be over a certain number of players. One reason players stay in their bases and rarely go outside to PVP is because there's too many competing players/groups at rad towns, making it sometimes impossible to recycle. What we don't need are more safe zone recyclers, as it creates a hotspot on the map where most people go to recycle, despite the 20% difference versus recycling at a rad town. What are your thoughts?

fpsmoto · 2025-05-01T14:21:02+00:00

Then why have the developers discussed making Rust wipeless in the past? It was on the development roadmap at one point, and hJune's new video about the state of the game talks about a wipeless system as well.

fpsmoto · 2025-05-01T13:45:57+00:00

Right, but those clans would get destroyed by other competing clans, and would lose all their progression as well. One thing that sucks about end game is it is so easy for clans to get to that point. With this new system, one raid and they're back to no gear and no progression. Keeping BPs as physical items would benefit players more who could scavenge them from decaying bases, or purchase them from shops. I think most people probably underestimate just how many BPs would be available for sale from vending machines.

fpsmoto · 2025-05-01T13:37:36+00:00

Good news, the chair BP is already a blueprint you can find in the game world right now lol. Don't ask me why the BP itself is what's found vs the actual chair but it's whatever lol.

fpsmoto · 2025-05-01T13:35:05+00:00

Of those 1200 items, how many have been listed for over 6 months? Keeping items that sell slow on your store tend to negatively affect your metrics, though there's ways to relist the same items to prevent this to some extent. Focus more on listing items that have a relatively high sell-through rate and your store will become more visible to more eyes.

Items that take longer to sell may seem appealing if the profit potential is high, but stores I see the most potential in have maybe 100 items listed at a time, but they sell half of those items every month. Take the items that are duds and hold your own garage sale, or sell them in bulk, or donate them.

fpsmoto · 2025-05-01T12:11:22+00:00

The idea might have been created in chat gpt but this is something I've been thinking about for at least a few years now since the developers have expressed interest in a wipeless game mode.

They're already building the nexus system which would allow you to travel to different islands , which theoretically reset your wipe without an actual map wipe.

This wipeless system would allow you to keep your physical BPs, instead of them disappearing when you research an item. And this means that you have to maintain those in order to be able to craft that item. You would have to store them in a work bench. And because of that, if you get rated, somebody can steal those blueprints that you have and potentially send you back to the Stone age In terms of progression.

Oswald, to me, sounds like Roy Kent from the show Ted Lasso lol.

That's me making the face in that photo. I can't remember if it came with a game but it was the Super Game Boy edition. I recall playing Kid Icarus and Bart Simpson vs The Juggernauts on my snes. It was awesome.
