What about bright nights in Rust?

I was inspired by how Facepunch shows nights in their trailers. Yet for some reason we have to put up with pitch-black darkness. Since nights have already been cut down to 15 minutes, and that no longer leaves as wide a window for nighttime activities as it used to, why not at least make them beautiful?

Im a guy in his mid 30's Iv had the game since rad bears. Iv been playing a dead 5x, this is my experience...

I have a packed schedule, im a family man, but this is the first game i fell in love with, i enjoy every update, especially now we're shifting towards a more decentralised meta.

I enjoy building, usually rock bases or more recently, out of necessity cave bases.

What compels someone to even WANT to be the "king" of a dead 5x super low pop server?
the culprit, we'll call him "tortoise" makes it his absolute mission to eradicate anyone on the server. what do you even get from that?

We've battled him, adjusted our methods, been sneakier, ground out more resources, done our best to hide away, waiting for the right time to strike, and every time hes stayed up all night, searched everywhere to eradicate his only competition.

I guess this all sounds like me mainlining copium, but what goes through someones head to want to be the only one left on the server, surely the gaming experience suffers when theres no one left to challenge you.

I sound a bit green, i know, so i should know better with playtime in the double digit K's.

bound to get ripped for this but heyho

Too many cheaters to enjoy the game anymore

It's getting worse by the year, I've played this game for 10k hours now and honestly its gotten unplayable. Yesterday I've started my monday wipe on a main server and already got 5 guys banned. The amount of people that use ESP just for diving / sub marine purposes is unreal at the moment because they dont get caught. There is no point in playing anymore because in a server with 600+ pop you're facing atleast 5% cheaters if you're lucky. Servers do not work togheter with Facepunch itself, when they're banned they just go a different server and start all over. This has to change somehow.

The Great Cowpocalypse of 2026

Teammate last night suggested we let the bulls out of their pen to go wild and see what happened. This was 24 hours later…

This update is hilarious.

Can we have higher tier premium servers? $15 minimum seems extremely low

Not sure why we can let have higher tier premium servers. $15 bucks is chump change when gate keeping cheaters.

I’d love to see a no game ban account, minimum steam age, and $250 inventory.

Really tired of running into people who just get banned a week later.

Auto turret strategy for base defense

This may be a “no duh” moment, but isn’t this an optimal use of auto turrets for external base defense?

Note: the red lines represent chain link walls. I placed two, just for illustration. There would be multiple auto turret stations circling the base.

I ask, because I haven’t seen it used a lot. I’m trying to figure out if it has any weaknesses.

I am requesting that the [EU] Facepunch Softcore server be moved from the EU region to the [EU East] - poor firend internet quality.

I am requesting that the [EU] Facepunch Softcore server be moved from the EU region to the [EU East] region, as my friends experience very high latency and ping on the EU region due to poor internet quality.

Please upvote this so the Facepunch administration sees it.
