Naked Men with Rocks -- A Rusty Venture

RankenphileRankenphile Passersby were amazedby the unusually large amounts of blood.Registered User, Moderator Mod Emeritus
So Rust is a game where you start off with a rock in your hand and your pecker poking out and you have to do whatever it takes to survive.

Start bashing that rock against some trees and rocks and make yourself a real hatchet.

Wander into abandoned towns filled with zombies and radiation.

Build hide-outs, set traps, make guns, raid other peoples' bases.

Just don't die, because if you do, you'll end up naked with a rock in your hand.

Basically it's a DayZ style survival game with better graphics and interface, made by the Garry's Mod guys in Unity in early Alpha, and it's surprisingly rad.

    Wait.

    A game with naked men AND I can shoot them in the dick?

    It's not called "metal's typical Sunday night at the dungeon" why?

    They made it so censoring is on by default to stem the tide of caveman dicks in peoples' community streams and the comments are kinda special.

    So yesterday I spent a lot of time figuring out different survival strategies.

    1: you can get cloth and food from animals by crouch walking up to them , hitting them with a rock and then following them to where they stop sprinting and repeating the process.

    2: focus on collecting stone, the rest is easy to find.

    3: make a stone hatchet first, then a shelter with a camp fire and cook your meat

    4: get as far away from other people as you possibly, possibly can. They will always, always try to kill you for your stuff.

    5: there's nowhere you can go to get away from people.

    6: staying near mountains/rocky hills gives you better places to run and hide from folks when you need to

    7: towns are mostly picked over and way too dangerous, and usually irradiated anyway

    8: as soon as you have any sort of surplus, make a stash and a sleeping bag. When you die, you can re spawn every five minutes at the sleeping bag.

    I seriously want to try this with a few others. It is brutal tough solo, but with a couple allies I bet survival would go way up.

    Yesterday I was hiding out in my shelter when some naked dude in a head wrap kept beating on my door with a metal hatchet.

    So I prepared an arrow in my bow, shot him in the dick and then slammed the door.

    Didn't stop him so I did it again.

    Same result.

    Next shot dropped him and I got myself a shiny new hatchet, then got murdered by a pair of bandits with guns.

    It's like Minecraft for people who hate themselves and others.

    In that you can craft things and then it has absolutely no other things in common with minecraft, yes it is exactly like minecraft.

    So... the central mechanic of Minecraft?

    I just played FF8 and you can craft items from cards. It's exactly like Minecraft.

  • Bluedude152Bluedude152 Registered User regular
    Minecraft is about building things first and foremost

    This has nothing similar besides having to gather supplies

  • TankHammerTankHammer Atlanta Ghostbuster Atlanta, GARegistered User regular
    Open world where you gather resources and build a shelter to protect yourself from hostile enemies like zombies and wolves. That currently describes many games, but primarily Minecraft. The Day Z meets Minecraft comparisons aren't unwarranted.

    Today a friend and I managed to meet up, took over an abandoned shack and then started crafting up all kinds of shit. I've got a 9mm now, a full art of clothes and we figured out how to research. Everything is stashed behind a metal door because we found that two guys with pick axes can bust open a wood door in about two minutes.

    This game is hella rough around the edges, but an amazing amount of fun with a partner already.

    So what happens to stuff you build

    Does it stick around when you log off?

    Because that seems like it would just lead to lots of break ins

    Metal doors are nearly impenetrable. Two explosive charges required.

    Otherwise it takes a long time to get into them, but you should still hide it somewhere relatively safe.

    Oh man, I'm definitely gonna have to get this. I have a group of like 10 mates that I played DayZ with.

    I look forward to frolicking naked through the fields with them

    It's a surprisingly different experience from DayZ, and a lot more forgiving of a limited time investment in some ways, and more brutal in others.

    But it's a shitload of fun, either way.

    Grabbed this yesterday but the servers are under attack or something so it's a bit of a mess right now. Looking forward to getting into it when it clears up a bit.

    Kinda thinking about buying this. Is there an estimated release date, or is it a "when it's finished" type of deal?

    It's been a few days since I've played, but hot crap this is a lot of fun.

    Still super, super early in development, and it's pretty easy to lose all your progress after logging off, but if you got a buddy or two to run with, it's a seriously good time.

    Are you losing progress because its an alpha, or because most of the servers have the logoff=sleeping body feature turned on?

  • RankenphileRankenphile Passersby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood.Registered User, Moderator Mod Emeritus
    Mostly because I secured my stuff poorly so I lost a lot of my supplies to raiders and/or didn't log on for a few days and found much of my stuff stolen by dudes that broke in and took it the same way I did to them earlier.

    Once due to a server wipe from a patch.

    Not a big deal, building up a reserve and building a base is half the fun.

    I was playing on BMRF #1 earlier, and had collected a LOT of stuff, but then the server crashed for a few hours, thankfully when it came back up, I was still alive and had everything, so I quickly threw up a shelter, some storage and a campfire, then ran off to do some more gathering. I almost have enough to start manufacturing guns and ammo, just gotta find a few more rocks.

    So switching to a server with less than 100+ dudes was a nice choice. I just don't think the map is big enough for that sort of pop for this kinda game, in it's current state.

    We made what is perhaps the most ridiculous base ever. It's like in a crack between some mountains, essentially partly a cave, except we tried to put a roof on the bits that weren't covered and the thing is on a slant and it's too tight to put pillars properly and man oh man. Imagine the most rickety, ramshackle mining operation shack thing, built into a mountain and that is our base. You gotta duck in multiple spots, jump in others etc.

    Hopped on to do some farming, Killed a few zombies and got 2 pickaxes and an MP5A4 blueprint. Then I hightailed it back to base and started smelting ores, making gunpowder, and constructing the prototype for the MP5. Now, here is the current status of the Armory
    2014-01-01_00001.jpg
    Sorry about the blurriness, I have to run the game at 1600x900 to play something other than a slideshow. Left to right, top to bottom, there is a metal hatchet, Hunting Bow, Pickaxe, 9mm pistol, MP5A4, P250, and assorted ammo.

    Hey Guys,

    I just purchased a dedicated server for Rust, and I was wondering if you guys would be interested in having it be the PA server? At the moment it is only 50 slots. I'm looking for names, so any suggestions would be appreciated! It is currently being loaded onto a new quiet node (to avoid DDOS) so it will be a couple hours yet. I will post the IP info very soon, but until then, send me some names!!
