Rust, the beloved multiplayer survival game, has just released an exciting update dubbed The Crafting Update. This patch significantly enhances players' ability to express their creativity through a variety of new features. One of the standout additions is the culinary workbench, allowing survivors to cook up a storm with dishes like grilled chicken legs, perfectly paired with a shot of Siberian vodka. Cooking in Rust now involves following specific recipes, and the culinary delights you prepare can offer stat boosts and modifiers, adding a strategic layer to your gameplay experience.
The update also introduces chicken coops, where you can raise chickens and chicks. These feathered friends require careful attention to their four key needs: Hunger, Thirst, Love, and Sunlight. Failing to meet any of these can lead to their untimely demise. Chicken meat, a valuable resource, will spoil unless stored in a working refrigerator. To help manage your inventory, food items now feature timers showing their expiration dates, ensuring you use your resources wisely.
For those with a penchant for sweets, the game now includes wild beehives scattered among the trees. Extracting honeycombs requires relocating them to player-crafted hives made from wooden boxes. Dealing with bees can be hazardous, but players can protect themselves with specialized suits, water dousing, or even flamethrowers. A new weapon, the Bee Grenade, adds a twist to combat; it's a jar of honey that, once shattered, unleashes three swarms of aggressive bees, compelling foes to scatter.
The engineering workbench has undergone a complete overhaul, introducing a dedicated tech tree for plumbing and electricity. This enables players to construct sophisticated automated systems and even entire factories, opening up new possibilities for survival and innovation. Additionally, the developers have introduced premium servers, exclusively accessible to players with a Rust inventory valued at $15 or more. This initiative aims to create a more refined gaming environment by filtering out cheaters and disruptive players, enhancing the overall experience for dedicated gamers.
