    @yall has the code for the building and permission to build. It's a rock base so needs an elevator to get up there. I'll be on a plane for a few hours but should be back online later today. Help yourself to anything in the base, if you feel like farming we need more cloth, wood, stone, ore and ak47s.

    There is a good map here: http://map.playrust.io/?Procedural Map_4800_39985376#Rust-Ontario.ca | Active Admins | TS | Wiped 04/30
    This game has elevators now? Cool.

    Ha! Yeah definitely didn't mean to come off that way, it can just be a stressful process. Truth be told I'm champing at the bit to get it. I only wish it was happening in August so I could wrap up my major project. Oh well.

    Regarding the "elevator" it's not really an elevator per se, but rather a means to get up to higher bases. Basically you have a foundation and build blocks on it, jumping on each block before building the next to lift yourself up.

    Oh, so it's like in minecraft where you just stack stuff under yourself.

    With rocket launchers added to the game, not even rocktop bases are safe anymore. At least they can only fuck your shit up and not actually get anything.

    It takes like 5 rockets to get through metal walls I think?

    I need to get on I guess and get myself up to the base. I can at least mine some basic crap while looking for barrels with blueprints.

    Fortunately most players would rather raid a base than just grief someone.

    I worked out our 3X3 base needs 15,000 frags per level to armour it and go up another level.

    I've just about finished armouring the current base. That was enough resources for 20 wall upgrades.

    I spent 30 minutes looking for ore, barrels, animals, anything really.

    Found one horse, 1 barrel, and no rocks.

    It looks like the server gets wiped every 3 weeks or so, sometimes more frequently as wipe inducing updates are fairly common. The next wipe is Thursday. I hope to be on all day to get a base started again.

    There have been a consistent 10 rocks spawning around the base every 8 hours or so, and 3 barrels, nothing useful though.

    The base doesn't need to get better if there is a wipe coming, I've taken to spawning randomly and barrel hunting until I get killed, trying to get all the BPs as the wipes don't affect BPs.

    I'll probably do a bit of that today.

    I've put a whole large wooden box's worth of blueprints upstairs. No guns unfortunately, but the ammo and lots of handy things.

    I should be available for most of today if anyone needs to get in and cram some BPs.

    I am really liking the latest balance pass they did on buildings. It feels right for me. Once you get upgraded to stone, you can't just bust in with a couple of pickaxes. It's takes a real commitment of time and resources to get into someone's base now. That means dinky little stone 4x4s probably aren't going to be worth the effort of breaking into.

    Being able to slap a code lock on a storage chest is the best thing in the world. I set up shop next to a rad town. Im not even bothering to de-rad myself because I have a code locked storage chest and a sleeping bag right there.

    I forgot all about that. Makes raiding almost worthless though, right? Or can you break them open?

    I have been playing on a pretty great server. It doesn't wipe very often. It's PVP, but most people won't attack you on sight. There's a very active admin and he does regular events. I have a couple of small bases setup.

    Any chance any of you guys are still playing? I have been playing of random servers and I think I am ready to come in from the cold and find a group of people to roll with.

    I just got off a rust bender of a few months. I watched a really great rust server rise to the top of the server rankings and slowly die off over a month. If you find a good server, I might be interested in setting up shop with you.

    So... I think the game must have had a very BAD patch or something cause running normally I'd get warnings about how much memory it uses and in trying the Directx9 client... it crashed. Had to restart my PC and it somehow removed my wallpaper.

    Weird.

    And yeah I've been eyeing Hurtworld.

    Unless your PCis pretty old, you want to be using the dx11 option.

    Thanks to my daughter deciding she wants to play minecraft all the time, I've gotten the bug to play Rust again. I tried playing on some rando server but meh.

    The current version is great, though. It's past where the previous iteration was before they started building the new game, in terms of content and such.

    It'd be rad to get enough PA interest again to get a server going. Is there any chance that could occur?

    I remember playing on the legacy PA server and I don't think that had much more than 10-15 people at primetime. obviously other randos could log on, but on the new, much bigger procedural maps having only ~20 peak players can make for a very sparse and empty server, especially if people would want to run a PA clan.

    naysaying aside I'd probably play, the rust population is generally the scum of the earth and it'd be nice to play a server with some class.

    That latter part is the thing, primarily.

    Is there no way to set a maximum size when you set up a server? I know nothing about rust servers; it just seems like it would make sense, procedural or not, to allow some level of bounds for map size.

    All maps are the same size. I've clocked a few hours on some servers hovering around the 50-60 player mark and they aren't bad, but having a group of 10-15 would be a solid presence on the server.

    I would love to play with a group again. The game is all but unplayable solo these days.

    When setting up a server using the procedural map, you can pick from a range of sizes.

    If it's truly past where the legacy build had been, I'd be willing to give it another shot. My main problem is that I can't play consistently. I'll often be away for work for weeks at a time, so I couldn't do any kind of regular sessions. But if you guys start getting into it again, I'll try to jump on when I can.

    That's my problem too - playing solo, I just don't have to time to keep anything from becoming destroyed/looted, much less make things bigger/better.

    Just set up another server. It is called AK modded... has a few mods but nothing crazy. low decay and I an sure if you built something and took a break for a day or 2 it would not get rick rolled as it is a new server.
