Rust Information/Log
« on: January 31, 2014, 02:04:19 am »
Hey, we have a lot of people checking out Rust! Yay! I thought I would type up some information and try to keep a log so people know what's what.

-Go to http://www.rustmap.net and register. After you do, post your name so I can add you to our MAP. Once I've added you, you can look at our map and check out our POI and add your own. Our current base is at Hacker Mountain South, and when you first log in, you'll want to make your way there.
-We are on a server that starts with "Sexy Sleepers". I forget the whole name (it's long), but check the "Friends" section of the server list when one of us is online and that will help you easily connect.
-We've almost finished building our main recipe list (mostly spread about between me, Zero, and Lithium). Once we can craft everything, we'll focus on spreading out the recipes to everyone.
-At the time of typing this out, we have at least 10 people playing: Tbone, Zero, Lithium, Broin, likwidtek, Strod, Erathaol, Azarov, Jeyk, and Machete (I think he'll keep playing with us)!
-Everything else we'll explain in game on the fly!


1/30

-Made a few enemies: KittyKommander, Original (and a bunch others...large group...not sure of names)
-Attempted to get explosives from air drops. Unsuccessful.
-Built base in Middle Mountain (see map). Was discovered in mid-build by Original and a group. Later discovered by KittyKommander. Had a few deaths, but at the end of the night we were able to put up basic defense (a few metal doors and gate) and escape with building supplies. Nothing stored. Base not very secure atm. Tried to build up to top of rock but still have about half a floor to try and get to.
-During escape, stumbled upon a decaying abandoned base HIGH on Metal Mountain. Looted several boxes full of Research Kits, Gunpowder, Guns, etc. etc. A lucky find! Rebuilt walls around base and put down metal door. Definite potential for a large base closer to the action but still well hidden (5-6 floors).
-Special thanks to ERATHAOL and LITHIUM for staying up late and helping raid and get supplies safely back to base.
-To do: Loot and research EXPLOSIVES, analyze Center Base and decide if worth protecting, analyze Metal Mountain base and decide if worth making second base, discover base locations of enemies.
-Warnings: Rumor has it that KittyKommander was looking to raid our main base.

Lots of fun guys.  Seriously brings back lots of cool memories of the fun parts of Darkfall.  Like we were talking about last night on TS.  It's like darkfall without the skill grind.

Good times so far.  :)  Can't wait to start building what we need to raid bases.  KERBEWM!

It looks like we have a bit of a problem.  I haven't confirmed 100%, but it seems Kitty Kommander convinced the admin to change the number of people required online for an airdrop to be lower (he said 1).  He was claiming credit last night and there were planes flying overhead with just 8 people online.

So those people who practically live on the server, and those who play at extremely odd hours, just got a huge boost in resources.

We might want to have a serious conversation tonight about buying our own server. I just don't know if we can trust these admins to be fair and reliable.

I've been willing to purchase a server (I'd host myself if they allowed it). At least then we can keep the rules fair and consistent.

Don't believe everything you think.

There are no planes this afternoon, with 6 of us online. I guess that was a temporary thing...

I dunno man.  Because then we'll be tempted to just spawn in our own items.  It just will be too tempting and take some of the fun out of it for us all.  This happened when I ran my own minecraft server.  You just say meh, screw it.

Then of course anytime we would raid anyone, they'd just call us cheaters.

Maybe we just need to join an official server.  I know we don't get /starter and /location but screw it.  Now that the hacker issue is gone on the official servers, why not.

I didn't think they had official servers. Those tabs are always blank for me. There would be no shortcuts on our server. We don't even have to name it FA. And I wouldn't tell anybody who the admin is and I wouldn't use my name to admin.

Yeah there are tons of official servers.  They got a really bad rep because there were so many hackers though.  But I like the idea of no shortcuts, no Rust++, things like that.

Everything I've read says to avoid the official servers. Rust++ was really so we could share doors (this was before they implemented combos). But all the /commands would go away (like /location and /players).

I don't think you can admin under a different name. The game links to your Stream account, so I don't think you can have more than one user for a server.

Once they add stuff like moss on trees and proper navigational type stuff we won't need /location.

I don't think it's that big if a deal. I like the server we are on so far, so long as the admins aren't cheating and stuff.

Really good thread about people talking about their experiences with being tempted by running their own server:  http://www.reddit.com/r/playrust/comments/1wojzi/im_an_admin_this_is_the_extent_of_my_admin_abuse

Specifically this guy's comments:  http://www.reddit.com/r/playrust/comments/1wojzi/im_an_admin_this_is_the_extent_of_my_admin_abuse/cf3zvd9

1/31

-Got and learned explosives!
-Fortified Center Base and Metal Base a little more. Exploring different ways to defend.
-Built a way up to the rock at the top of Center Base.
-Crafted about 6 explosive charges. Can craft more once we farm some more sulfur (we kept converting it to gunpowder). Time to find some targets to raid!

I think we got raided as when I woke up I ended up at a random spawn point

Go ahead, make my day.
