The most Rust-thing that could happen on Tutorial Island would be for the other NPC survivor to eventually rob you of your loot...

[@Primal_Echo]

Thats actually genius 😂😂😂

[@stevet1898]

It follows you, helps you gather materials and do the tutorial. Whenever you log out the NPC changes your lock codes and kills you offline.

[@Asako_Gaming]

It would be funny, would be like in Project Zomboid when you finish the tutorial and it says press Q for the cure. Q is global shout that calls them all to you to kill you with a message. There is no cure.

Improved client performance when the player is getting shot ~ this new improvement this month is probably my favorite!❤

Literally the only reason why i have stopped playing rust for weeks sometimes was because of the bad fps at gunfights and losing because of it, i can now actually see myself sinking way more hours to the game since it actually runs well now

All it's going to do is make you 10x more hunted, I think you're going to end up saying you don't like the backpack update.

[@bhartley1024]

I'm so glad they are paying some attention to item entities. I'm not sure if it's been fixed already but there was an issue with item entities getting orphaned during server save/reloads. Essentially, items in loot containers are not flagged to be saved by the server, since no one owns them yet, but their associated entities WERE being saved. When the server loaded those saves, it loaded the old entities, but the items that they belonged to were never saved in the first place and new loot items got their own new entities. The common advice in the community was to restart your server periodically, maybe even every night, and this was causing tons of orphaned entities to accumulate by the end of the wipe cycle.

Tutorial Island looks neat. Lunar skins are some of my favorite too! Now backpacks I can get behind!! I am hoping these implement well.

[@stewartcoltharp-zl7lh]

I got 0 complaints so far, I play solo and the backpack is a god send for getting an outpost start, for farming, for pretty much everything as a solo

Im on t he aux2 beta of the staging branch, can't find Tutorial Island on the options menu or on any servers. Anyone know how to activate this?

If they can do another combat update and biome update and stop cheaters would be cool.

[@BodyGuardOfLies1]

Will the metal detector detect land mines?

[@kirayoichi3113]

That's a good question 🤔 ...probably not, for the sake of a suprise 🎉

Aren’t landmines visible anyway when you stand close to them ?

​@@BodyGuardOfLies1only if ground texture is bugged, normally they're visible.

[@TheFlawlessray]

Always appreciate your hard work on keeping up with all the info so we don’t have. Also adding comedy to it is the cherry 🍒 on top! Thank you 🙏 ❤

[@JamesBrunerkeablewine]

On a private server I used MLRS to take Bradley at ticket booth. I just need another layer aggroed in ticket to keep him there.

[@dictamela1982]

I think the metal detector should react to things buried by players. The shovel, in addition to being used to dig up objects, should be used to bury your backpack. I would also like a larger radius to allow you to locate objects that are not buried, but are hidden by grass and bushes.

[@stuaf7202]

They should’ve made the back pack just add to the inventory slots instead of being it’s own inventory move the crafting details above the quick craft and then it would be way easier to put items in and would be able to craft with that.

[@vladyslavbezborodko2383]

it's not always about "easier" bro. Backpack as they made it works perfect and in concept of the game

[@Sadjhj]

I think it’s fine

[@TuriGamer]

Man a rust update that actually looks pretty good start to finish ? We live in crazy times

[@jonathangarlinghouse]

Excellent information as always. I'm looking forward to checking out the new stuff in game

[@chris5942]

I love the tutorial idea. Will try RUST again once that is in the game.

[@edgard142ndofwelshdale7]

The loot table you gave for metal detector is definitely wrong. I was finding cans of beans as well all of the roadside, fields, and forests loot in the desert. Specifically, I was running up and down the train tracks for most of it, went next to giant excavator pit for a little, and some was also just in open desert. I also found ammo and coffee can helmets on the roadside.

[@realllegend27]

this is gonna be a good year for rust

Finally optimisation

[@iwasjohnlennon]

wait if half the screen is blurry by default? and the best body parts are pixilated? whats there to look at?

[@omaidshams3978]

They should add a gore update, bullet wounds, dismemberments (after death), grunts and moans, and blood pools. Obviously you can toggle this on and off too.

[@bingbing-ti2rv]

Actually, in the very old Rust, you would scream to death when wounded. And this was kinda OP because you couldn't hide your body behind a tree or wall etc without your killer tracking your screams until he found you and executed you. So maybe not moans & grunts, but dismemberment & bullet wounds sounds cool as fck ! And i was also thinking for a few years, blood splatters on walls when you get shot next to a wall / or in a monument. Blood splatter is something Rust really lacks of. Almost every FPS Game has blood spewing out and splattering on walls & floor when you shoot someone, strangely Rust doesn't. It would definitely add some realism.

[@RandyRelish99]

Finally a spear skin! that and the rocket launcher are absolutely day 1 buys

[@BluebellyGaming]

Have a like. The "chafing, maybe" line almost made me choke on my lunch. Cheerio!

[@KeezProductionsNCM]

Cheerio for my weekly rust fix!

[@Szachowistrz]

I think it should stay that you can dig it up with any melee weapon. It is less complicated and more realistic.

[@squash2127]

Metal detector 100% needs to find stashes

[@lukey666lukey]

and landmines

[@DanBlackburn1]

Finding stashes felt like the entire point.

[@nathanielwr1517]

What would be the point of stashes anymore then?

[@DanBlackburn1]

I see what you are saying and I am not a high level player or anything but stashes would still be somewhat hard to find based on the map size and everything that goes into having a metal detector and finding something with it. I could be wrong on that though since most stashes are going to be near bags so maybe would make them somewhat useless.

[@davidrenteria4762]

Is the backpack on console or pc?

That metal detector will never see use, as looting barrels will probably reward better loot at a higher rate... Finding staches would have been the useful thing

[@rhyswest5508]

like a wood foundation? so can you look through the cracks in the wood to loot players and if so what about boxes?

[@zakucat1894]

Seems a bit pointless if they can't detect a stash That's the onvious use for the detectors, waving them around will just be an inefficient gimmicky way of finding scrap elsewise
