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 (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.

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

Wait, we can blow metal doors with grenades!???!?!

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 (http://www.reddit.com/r/playrust/comments/1wojzi/im_an_admin_this_is_the_extent_of_my_admin_abuse)

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
-
Shit. Serious? Which base???
-
Since Broin did not elaborate... We lost mostly everything except the first floor which they didn't blow. That saved a good number of wall supplies we had.
They got in by blowing the gates, building a large supply container and blowing the 2nd floor wall. Once inside they went up the staircase blowing a wall section and the door when needed. They replaced the 2nd and 3rd floor staircase doors with their own.
I can't seem to repair any walls or the gates. It must be because Tbone built those sections. I don't know where he is tonight so until he gets around we can't repair the place up too much. Erathaol was in his personal shelter last night. He didn't lose some of his stuff and is working on some C4 to blow the bad doors. I moved what was left to the first floor. We have some basic tools, and leather wear still. We need to farm for new metal and gunpowder.
-
Yeah I say we build a new base with badass defenses. We have the manpower and recipes to do it.
-
2/1
-Base was raided
-Spent all night building the first level of a new metal fortress. Hopefully it survives the night!
-
So much time spent summed up in two sentences...
-
Just logged in it is still there and so are we... The theme for today and the near future is metal ore metal ore metal ore
-
Excellent, I guess I know what I'm doing today. I'll probably make a run back to main and grab anything left behind.
-
Reigstered on rustmaps. User name is 'manicvelocity'.
-
Just in case anyone didn't know (I didn't until today and it has saved my poor finger), you can hold Control or Shift while clicking the - and + when crafting to maximize production or change in increments of 10, respectively.
Save your finger! Use CONTROL and SHIFT when crafting!
-
2/2
-Continued to build on FA Fortress (finished second floor). Started building door maze on first floor.
-Sage was unbanned by admin and is looking for revenge. His friend Mediks keeps PMing me asking me where I live. He told me he wanted to know so that he would know NOT to raid it since I once traded 2000 sulfur with a mutual friend (I have no idea what he's talking about).I told him I live in Herp-a-derp Ville. I expect it's only a matter of time before they find our base. Hopefully it'll be ready by then. NEED MOAR METAL!
-
I safely made it to the base this evening. Thank you, Erathaol, for sticking around and showing me the ropes!
-
woo!
-
Logged on and our front first door is gone... Someone left the second door and portcullis open. The Main door into the base proper was shut THANK GOD. SHUT YOUR F"N DOORS
-
they are blowing the doors now
-
getting shot at right now
-
3 now... I have no logn range weapons
-
they have put their own door up where our second door is
-
That's genius.
"If we can't get in, then neither can you."
I'm going to start building doors on top of other people's doors.
-
Looks like we were being attacked by Lite PS. Mushrumz came and helped me send them off. However there were 4 of them and they took our outer door down and second door down. They replaced our second door with one of their own so we are locked into our own base.
It is a damn good thing I logged in because the second door and portcullis were both OPEN, so if I had not closed them they would've been in our base proper. Close your doors behind you ALWAYS.
I'm gonna hang out and do nothing in case they try and break through the next door. Gotta go in about an hour so someone may want to check it out.
-
It only takes 2 C4 to blow metal walls. Also, something about a "sweet spot"
only 2 c4 on metal walls everytime, stairs and boxes and adjacent walls argument (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LfVUJQ1xC0#ws)

Also, a really great idea for hiding small stashes:

That guy is an idiot for giving away such an awesome secret.
-
I made sure to close everything I touched!
-
Ok, we blew out their door and replaced our own outer doors, so everything is back to normal. The good news is that our defenses worked. They didn't try to get on top of the base and they didn't try to go through a wall, so we forced them to go through the front. Last night I had already moved our supplies closer to the center instead of near the entrance. Our goal today should be to try and finish up as much of the maze of doors on the first and second floors as we can.
-Make sure to close ALL doors. There are FOUR outer ones to close (three metal and a gate). Plus all the interior doors as you move around.
-Make sure to put high value supplies in hard to get to crates (currently the ones in the center of the base)
-We need to keep a decent supply of C4 to destroy any doors that our replaced by raiders.
Edit: Also Mushrumz (Erathaol's friend) was wondering if he could help collect metal in order to have door access to the base. Obviously I said I'd have to talk to Erathaol about him. It would be nice to have another body to help, but there's also the trust issue since Erathaol is the only one who knows him. He's hanging out in TS, so feel free to chat with him and get a feel for him.
-
He seems cool, even though he killed me. Erathol's fault though.
He's a super PVP type of guy, so he LOVES hunting and killing players in the wild. We just need to prolly tell him that access to our base comes with a code of conduct. Basically, don't be a griefer, don't smack talk, etc.
Erathol is close personal friends with him in real life, so if he vouches for him, and as long as Erathol assumes responsibility for Mushroom's actions, it should be fine. Erathol should just give him a peptalk about our faction culture, how we work together, lean on each other, never steal from one another, give more than you take, etc etc.
Not talking letting him into FA exactly, but just to play with us would be cool.

If you suck with landmarks and directions, hopefully this will help you like it is helping me:

Today Mushrumz and I made some C4 and raided a few locations, and came out pretty well ahead as far as our haul. Got a small number of guns, some kevlar pieces, plenty of ammo, and a few other useful odds and ends.
The places we hit were our neighbor in Resource Hole (he was already raided, but they missed a room), a very large wooden building all the way up just west of Ballzak Mountain, and a small home in the middle of Wasteland West. Additionally, we are currently up to 10-12 C4, so even with the charges we used we are ahead (note: we didn't find a single charge raiding, damn!).
I took a big walk up north in a circuit along Next/North Valley and hooking west via Sweden. It's SUPER empty up there. Structures are few and far between, and we raided the notable ones I found. There's more activity around Big Radtown up there, but it's otherwise very quiet.
I still need to find where all the heavy-hitters live, but when I do you can bet we'll all have a giant raiding party!
-
Not a bad idea to go ahead and set up a strike team to try to gather resources from other bases.
I think we need to build the outer perimeter up THREE LEVELS instead of two. As it stands now, someone could box/barricade to the second level, blow that, then box/barricade to hop on top of the middle wall, bypassing it, and then hop to the roof (or blow the third level wall once it's built). So that's only a two wall protection instead of two, even if we block off building stairs.
If we do a three-level wall, then even using the box/barricade method, they would have to blow all three walls to make it into the third level. The trade-off is lack of visibility from any windows that we'd build on the fourth level and up.
Also, if you haven't had the opportunity to do much metal gathering, please take the time to do that! Our base is unbelievably resilient being made of metal, but it's still not even halfway built. We needs LOTS of resources. We also need lots of wood to build large wooden storage crates.
-
2/3
-Raid attempt was made on our base by PS guild in the early AM. They got through two of our outer doors before being chased off by Mushrumz and Broin. They also plopped down their own door.
-Tore down their door and replaced our blown ones. Our gateway decayed, so there's no gate there anymore.
-Finished building door maze on first level. Built doorways and a few doors on second level. Built outer and middle walls on third level and began building inner walls.
-Erathaol and Mushrumz raided several bases (including our old Forest base..lol). Mushrumz was given door privileges.
-I ran into Sage and Mediks in Hacker Valley South. They were naked but said they were headed towards Joey to raid him. I was fully geared but left them alone and they did the same. I don't think they've figured out the strength of our force, so I figured I would play the long game with them.
-Talked to two noobs, swift1n3 and some other guy (guy that Erathaol killed). They were pretty friendly and looking for people to group up with. I told them we've known each other for a long time, so I'm not about to start giving new people permissions to all our stuff but to keep in touch. I also told them to steer clear of our area (since we don't want to attract attention over here and usually kill people we see poking around). Swift added me on Steam and I gave him our website to look around in. It appears we've built our base close to a "no camp" respawn, so I think we'll have the chance to make a good impression on a lot of new people joining the server, BUT we'll also be found out pretty soon by anyone who gets raided and has their bed destroyed...lol.

I've been posting my log on the wrong thread the past few days. Oops. lol
-
Ok, posting back on the right thread!
2/9 - 2/10
-Our server was wiped so we started looking for a new one. We finally settled on one that only does forced wipes. We set up our forward outpost and began collecting recipes. We have most things except Kevlar Vest, Bolt Action Rifle, and Explosives.
-Spent the last two days building a big base on the coast in Wasteland South. Check this map (https://rustmap.net/?gid=2029) for a specific location. It has pretty interesting defenses. Crafting/storage is on the 5th floor. Barracks on the 6th (claim a room before they're all gone)! Exterior of base is finished. Interior is mostly finished save for a decent number of metal doors. Foundations around the base are ongoing. We believe we've found most foundation locations that could pose a risk and most have two floors of pillars on them. I also put spikes on the roof.
-The BOT guild has been sweeping the valleys killing anyone they run across (usually late-ish EST). Be careful when farming and make sure you don't lead them back to our base!
-A guy named Chaos lives in the larger base in the valley (that was coincidentally sabotaged by Mushrumz in an attempt to have our neighbors move farther away. He acted friendly, chatting with Zero and I, but while we were chatting we were attacked by BOT. It's unclear if Chaos was working with them or not (he claims he was not, of course). Just be wary.
-Priorities after getting enough metal to finish pillars and doors on our base should be to acquire the Kevlar Vest, Bolt Action, and Explosives. As soon as we're done with the base, I'll start building armor/guns/ammos/medkits to use so that we can go for air drops.
-
2/11
-The base is basically finished! All the doors are up and the metal pillars are all pretty high. There might be a few places where pillars can be built up higher, so please check! Now we can start building an arsenal!
-We still need to learn Kevlar Vest, Bolt Action, and Explosives. Zero and I geared up to try and find someone with a Kevlar Vest, but we were almost immediately sniped by a Bolt Action. Zero was insta-killed. I hid and tried to get the jump on the guy in order to get the Bolt Action, but he was with two others as well, so I didn't make it out.
-Most of the rooms in the barracks have been claimed. If you don't have a room, talk to someone about bunking up!
-
It's been a very productive day for Zero and I. We managed to find a Bolt Action Rifle in a crate! We also traded a Kevlar Hat and Pants for a Kevlar Vest with God-Duck. With those two recipes learned, the only thing left is EXPLOSIVES! Time to gear up and go for air drops!
-
I shall be around tomorrow and Fri... Tomorrow probably in the early afternoon and then late evening... Friday quite a bit.
-
I hope to play a lot this weekend too! Hey also, Fuse started playing on our server. I know there were some personality differences during TOR but would you guys be open to letting him hang out with us in TS and play together and all that?
He's always been a great guy to game with in my opinion.
-
Do you really want me to answer that likwid
-
I, for one, would love to hear the answer.
-
Well, sure!
I guess I don't have all the details about what happened to know all the ins and outs but regardless of past bad blood, I really feel like TOR caused a crap ton of conflict in FA. There was a lot of disagreement about what we should focus on, lots of people wanted to focus on raiding, others PVP, some wanted to play on the IMP side and there was just crap loads of fighting and bitching. It kinda sucked that people left but meh.
I figure enough time has passed and it sucks we lost some really great members. If some of those people want to come back and play with us and they didn't do anything so terrible to warrant a lifetime permaban or if they quit but would like to come back and play, I don't see why egos can't be put aside for the sake of gaming with our buddies.
Again, I don't know all the dirty details but I think Fuse is a good guy and a good gamer. I definitely think that there was a lot of ego fueled head butting but if that's unforgivable, then so be it.
-
Ego, smego. I've heard great things since shit went down, and if me being around causes issues, I wouldn't want to do that. I was really happy to hand over the FA corp in EVE to manic and think great things have happened there sines. I also think Rust is a game that FA could flourish in.
I wasn't going to play, but was coaxed into it and think it's really cool so far. (because I haven't lost all my stuff in a few hours - this morning I was swearing it off) Rust isn't a solo game. I still have friends here who I still speak with. I'd always rather play with friends. If management has issue with that for sanity or integrity sake, that's fine by me and I understand. As I said, ego, smego. I'm over mine.
I asked T just to think on it, talk to whoever he needs to and let me know his thoughts.
-
I think the answer should be no just based on your atrocious spelling. ;)
-
Forgiv me, I.m dumy.
-
I liked PvPing with Fuse in SWTOR.
That's about all I'm qualified to say.
-
I, for one, would love to hear the answer.
The day you come back is the day I quit FA
-
Good luck to you guys in Rust.
-
I, for one, would love to hear the answer.
The day you come back is the day I quit FA
Classy. :/
-
Why oh why would anyone want to leave FA, when we have such a welcoming and mature environment?

Before this gets out of hand...

Sheesh. Well on a more positive topic, how is Rust going? :)
-
Why can't we be friends? (http://www.youtube.com/embed/5DmYLrxR0Y8?rel=0)
-
The server we've been on went down tonight around 9PM (give or take an hour) and as of now (1am, 2/15) it no longer shows up on my server history list. Looks like it might have been shut down.
-
I quickly checked this morning and I don't see it either. I only saw like 1200 people playing globally which seemed low. Maybe a big server provider is out.
-
I figured I'd check this out after T gave it a good recommendation and other Angels are playing also.
Where do I start?
-
The server is up for me. Phienyx, you should register at http://rustmap.net (http://rustmap.net) and then I'll add you to our group and you can see where we're based.
-
Ya, it looks like the server is back up for me too. I wonder what happened?
-
Yup I guess I was lucky... I was preparing to hall from forward to main base. I had loaded myself full of about 4 runs worth of items and loot from the box runs. When everything loaded back up I had all of it in my inventory and dupe of it in the crates at forward base.
-
Broin sploitz!
-
I should be registered as Phienyx
-
so our base has been found and I hear them outside talking about getting C4
-
Server is gone again?
-
The whole provider must be having issues. My history list went from 7 to 3, so four of the servers I have visited before are currently down.
-
Update, that's probably why.
http://playrust.com/17th-feb-update/ (http://playrust.com/17th-feb-update/)
-
It is up but like so many it has been wiped
-
Indeed, it was.
-
FFS I'd rather get raided then have to deal with another wipe. Maybe we should wait until the game is a bit more stable? Are there any servers that don't wipe? I thought decay was supposed to make wipes unnecessary.
-
Wipes are going to happen very often for quite some time. I think while it's still in alpha it might be a better idea to play more casually and short-term.
The resource race on a fresh server is pretty fun, with everyone trying to murder each other for the almighty explosives recipe and secure their territory, but once you've done in more than a few times it can get a tad stale.
Building a big base/compound/whatever and becoming a permanent landmark that people on the server recognize and play around ("Be careful going near Metal Valley; that's FA territory and they don't take kindly to intruders.") is probably something that's a bit unreasonable to expect with these frequent wipes.
The short of it is that we should probably play assuming nothing we do will last more than two weeks max, whether that means taking a break until later or trying other ways to have fun.
Maybe Manic was right and the true path is dicking around making silly videos? Wipes certainly don't affect him!
-
Booo! Makes me want to just rent a private server to fuck around on until wipes become less and less frequent.
-
FA survior-thon. We all build our own little shacks and try to hunt Broin over and over.
-
FA survior-thon. We all build our own little shacks and try to hunt Broin over and over.
And Broin gets nothing but a bow and arrows.
-
What is the avg time most of FA plays this?
-
I'm down for that
-
Last night I just found the lowest ping zero pop server I could and set up a little home. Figure it'll be fun practice for a little bit. Single player Rust is weird.
-
2/21
Started on a new server...again. This server has updated several times with no wipes and advertise no wipes. Rebuild the base. Just have barracks and pillars left to do. It's a 3x3, so a little smaller. Still need wood to finish it up, but I'll be gone all day and night tomorrow, so I won't be on until midnight or so. We have Bolt Action, C4, Explosives, M4, Kevlar Boots and Helmet. Come check it out. Connection info is in the regular Rust thread. Me, Broin, Lith, Zero, Phienyx, and I think likwid have all migrated over.
-
I like the new server... Especially with the locked backpacks. If you die by wolf or bear you have a good chance of getting your gear back. Otherwise carry a lockpick or two if you go hunting people
-
2/23
Tonight we finally got to be on the other side of the coin. Our goal was to get Kevlar Vest and Pants by finding or raiding someone who had them. I actually picked up the pants blueprint, but then we got shot at by a guy building a base in Resource Hole. We leaped his wall, blew his door, and killed him, earning the coveted Kevlar Vest. Now fully armored, we ventured forth looking for bases to raid. We managed to raid a small base that had a nice stash on it, then we found a huge base with a lot of defenses.
My base-building skills came in handy, and I found away around all of the defenses. This was definitely a raiders' base, housing at least 3 guys in full kevlar (asleep at the time). We ended up getting a LOT of guns and bullets, along with a lot of other good stuff. We made several trips, but at the end someone found us raiding and began sniping at us through a hole in the wall. We escaped with our phat loot, though!
Several other bases were raided earlier in the day and the blame is being pegged on four guys traveling in a pack in kevlar (us). Though we didn't hit the other bases, the server began to actively look for us. At the end of the night, after everyone else logged out, right before I was about to myself, in general chat AdventWeed asked "tbone was that you and four others running around the road in kevlar earlier?" I didn't respond and logged out.
But how did he know I was logged in in the first place? Does the /players command work again? Was he taking a stab in the dark or was I made somehow? Be careful out there!
-
AdventWeed seems like the server gossip queen. I wouldn't be surprised if it was him and that other guy/gal who were asking T2 where we were. They probably went for a look and ran into us finishing up.
Exciting none the less.
-
Broin and I went back to the base to look to see if those guys had rebuilt. We think the guys who chased us off were actually other raiders, because they blew open the front doors and a few walls that didn't really lead anywhere. We blew a few more walls and got to another bedroom with phat loot, including 8 more C4. We spent that exploring the rest of the base, and came out with more guns and ammo and armor for it. I also looted a metal pillar from them!
-
**ALERT**It seems that our bases have been located, both main and west base. I returned to our west base to find "twopenguins" running around scoping the place out. I attempted to retreat, hoping he hadn't seen me, but was pursued and lost the firefight. Upon spawning at the main base, I could hear multiple footsteps outside the base. I have not yet stepped outside the base, but it does appear that they are building a set of stairs outside the NW corner of the base. I was able to catch glimpses of at least two people in that general area.
No one responded via TS at the time this occurred (about 0115 EST).
-update- I stripped down to cloth armor and went up to the roof armed only with a pistol. I spotted two players who had managed to find their way up on the the rock wall facing our NW corner of the main base. They were both at a height about equal to the roof of our base. (if you venture up there for a look, use caution if exiting using the S door. One of the assailants had a vantage point to cover that door. Use the E exit). I exchanged gun fire with one of the players who was armed with an M4. He was not able to hit me, but I hit him twice with my P250. The other was armed with a shotgun. One player had cloth armor and the other kevlar.
They threw a few taunts at me via chat and voice, but I did not engage them. The one taunting via chat was "twopenguin". I have not yet been able to ID the other.
-update- I was able to observe that they have now built a shelter or base on the rock ledge facing the W side of our base, level with the roofline. I was able to observe two individuals in kevlar, randomly popping shots at our base. I was not able to get a good view of the S, but I could see a flashlight shining from that direction as well.
-Update- At the time I am signing off, (0245 EST) there are at least 3 of them still firing rounds at the base and playing random crap over voice. It does nto appear they have yet figured out how to actually make entry.
-
Well I would like to say no harm no foul but WTH!@@#@(*YQ#RE*(Q&@$E!!!
I'm pretty pissed off.
I don't get it man. You see them at forward and decide to make a break for it... That's fine make a break for it. But not back towards our MAIN BASE or even in the direction of our main base!!
Can you tell me what you had on you that is more valuable than what we have at main base?
You lead them right to us.
We are now currently locked into our base. They made it all the way up to the 3rd floor, blowing out the doors and replacing them as they went.
So if we hop down we are locked out.
I literally do not get it.
-
So there is now movement in the base... I believe they are holed up in the 2nd floor. There is only one guy that I can hear and I think he keeps logging in and out....
I guess now it is a race to see if we get back online in mass first or they do.
-
Ummm...no. If you cool your temper and read my report.... They were at our base when I got there. I did NOT lead them there. When I saw that they were there, I attempted to remain unseen and retreat back toward the valley. I did not run toward our main base. I was killed while retreating out of our area. If you need clarification on something, I'd appreciate a request for clarification instead of blowing your top and spouting off. I understand you are second in command, but immediately berating a fellow player because you misunderstood the situation is not good leadership.
I apologize if my report was unclear, but I was tired and trying to write my report as things occurred.
Clarification: I returned from a run and was approaching our west base (the base in the immediate area of our main base, not forward base) when I spotted who I assume to be Twopenguin running around our W base. I immediately stopped and began to back peddle back out of the area, but I was spotted and killed while retreating back toward the valley. I then spawned in our main base which they had already discovered. I could already hear footsteps of multiple people outside as soon as I spawned. (they sounded like they were inside, but upon further investigation the base was clear from bottom to top. No one had made it inside.) I was able to peek through some of the cracks in the walls and spot at least 3 individuals building a set of stairs mentioned in my first report.
-
Let's try not to jump down each others' throats when shit goes down.
They had to go through our doors to get into the base. They got up to our first level of doors, but only got about a quarter of the way through that level before running out of C4 and giving up. They put up two or three of their own doors which we blew back down and replaced. Our defenses held up very well. Everything is back to normal now, but they could return with a lot more C4 so we should shore up our D when we get a chance.
-
Something tells me they will be back without a doubt. We have been located and if I were a raider assaulting our base, I'd assume based on the extensive defense that there was a gold mine of loot to be had. Watch your backs. It may be good to travel in pairs at minimum from now on.
-
Has the rustmap been updated?
-
No but the island has moved. Meaning the sun rises and falls in different places now. The water level has also been increased.
-
So... I just logged in and heard someone in our base opening doors and walking around. The only person online right now besides me is Manic. Every door in our base is open from top to bottom. Every door... I mean from almost the top of the roof to the outside of the base. All except the personal doors.
Is there anyone else on right now not on my friends list?
-
It was me. I found the base completely by chance. I didn’t even know it was the FA base when I found it.
I had spent the last few days recording segments for a video in which I walked the entire perimeter of the island. The idea for the video started when I successfully raided a much smaller base where I found crates of food. Enough to last me several Rust-days if I was careful. So I grabbed what I could carry and started walking towards the water.
I turned on Netflix to keep from getting bored, and set up a camp fire when I needed it. I was making daily video journals of my travels. I planned to walk until I either ran out of food, or found myself back where I started.
For hours I saw absolutely nothing of interest except for interesting quirks in the map geometry. And I managed to summit what is probably the tallest mountain in the game. I was so far away from everyone that I was able to safely log off many times without worrying about anyone finding my body. I walked for about seven or eight Rust-days, just making sure to keep the water on my left side.
I was working on my last stack of beans when I saw the familiar rocky mountains that are peppered around the proper playable area. I ran towards them, hoping to find some boars to kill so that I could survive to continue the video. As I maneuvered through the rocks I nearly slipped down a cliff. And that’s when I saw a large tower tucked away at the bottom.
To your guys’ credit, that base is incredibly well hidden. And again, I had no idea this was the FA base when I saw it. I went to investigate, hoping to find someone who might be kind enough to get me some food. I walked around the base and called out on voice chat to see if anyone was around.
It was getting dark, and I saw the door. I tried a list of some common four-digit codes, not really expecting any of them to work. On a whim I tried the code we used on the previous server, and to my shock the door unlocked.
I wandered up the many flights of stairs, using the same code on each door I came across, until I found the stash. I took some weapons and armor, but mostly food. That’s what I needed most. I wanted to quietly walk out and leave no indication that anything had happened, until everyone discovered the missing loot. I thought it would be interesting to sit back and watch the wave of confusion play out here on the forums, when people started to discover their stuff missing.
I was getting overly excited about my lucky one-man raid, so I rushed out without paying any mind to close the doors.
By the time I got outside I started hearing footsteps. I figured it was someone else coming to raid the base and found their way inside. (I turn off player notifications in Steam, so I didn’t know it was Broin that had logged on.) I huddled outside in the dark, near the water, hoping to avoid the supposed raiders and escape when they were gone.
In an effort to find a suitable hiding spot, I accidentally backed off the ledge and hilariously fell to my death.
-
Maybe Manic was right and the true path is dicking around making silly videos? Wipes certainly don't affect him!
That's the way I see it. It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything. :P
-
I'm continuing this whole "doors open" conversation in the Staff forums, as I imagine there's a lot people will want to discuss and I don't want to derail this thread too much.
-
Now I wanna know the dirty details! OooOOoo
-
That's hilarious! Did you record your "daring" burglary?
-
Logged in today and noted that the small base next to ours has been raided. Someone blew the back wall of the building out and replaced it with a wooden door. I have destroyed the door and left the building open until such time as we decide what to do with it. Nothing of importance in the building at the point so I see no problem with it being open until Tbone decides what to do with it.
This goes to signify that we are getting more and more activity around our base, with people looking to raid us. I'm assuming that at this point they are figuring out the cost in C4 versus what might be in the base and more importantly best strategy to get in.
-
Dang, I guess we better go use our stock pile of c4 on those mountain men we met last night!
-
I am kind of in agreement that we should do what we can to deprive others in the area of resources by relieving them of what they have at their bases.
-
Actually, we did last night. Took out a tower near forward base. Dinky little place ended up having a stockpile that replenished the c4 we used with much more to spare. I was thinking the place we found way out north last night.
-
If we head out of our little hole where our base is and head straight out across the valley, staying to the right side, there is a tower up in the mountains that over look the part of the valley that has a ton of resources. It is NW, across the valley from our base if we use the new Sun location.
-
Yeah, I just checked the place out with Phienyx. It's the mountains to the right (toward the direction of the water) as you enter the valley where we farm our resources.
We spotted a guy in Kevlar and a Naked dude just outside that base this evening. They might have seen us so we ran in the opposite direction of our base until we were under the cover of darkness.
I would highly recommend we make this a top priority to raid next since it is in close proximity to us and our resources. Tbone and Broin were talking about afternoon raids tomorrow and friday.
-
Server is still MIA. This really stinks. It was a fun server.
-
I am not playing this game - but just a question (hopefully not a silly one) - but given all the server drama you have - is there not an official server? or does such a thing not yet exist?
-

There are multiple "official" servers that are regularly wiped, overly populated, and usually contain a lot of hackers, griefers, and trolls. Most people know to stay away from the "official" servers and go for a community one.
-
Well, the server has been down for over 3 days now. That's not a good sign. I've been trying to get a reply on the official thread for the server, but the guy who was promoting the server every day has suddenly stopped responding.
Suggestions?
-
I say we get our own... and make likwid admin. I mean how can you abuse things if you can't even find out where you are... right
-
I'm out of town until tomorrow. I have some ideas if we run our own server. We give admin to some dummy steam account and don't associate the server to FA. We can then try to anonymously promote the server on those forums.
-
We'd have to purchase the game for the dummy account.
-

Ass. Good point though.. Still... ass.
-
It could also,be that I trust you to be absolutley honest and fair :) my
-
To add insult to injury, my dad discovered that the land we've been building our base on is now a "no build zone". Any foundation put down in that area is instantly destroyed.
-
It could also,be that I trust you to be absolutley honest and fair :) my
I appreciate that sir. :P
-
We are trying a new server. Forward base is constructed.
net.connect 69.65.42.109:28315
-
My dad was on some weird servers, so we ARE able to build on our old base's spot. Trying to rebuild on the new server now.
-
LOL, that was your first mistake believing him :)
-
LOL, that was your first mistake believing him :)
Well, in his defense, I logged on to one of of those servers and tried to place myself and couldn't, but the server didn't give any indication that you weren't allowed to build on it. I didn't have enough time/resources to check other locations at the time, though.
-
I shall probably be on tomorrow sometime... Still getting over my bout with the damn flu crap.
-
Flu here too. FUCK. Seriously I've NEVER taken flu shots but I think I'm going to start.
-
I am still hyped up from last night. It was intense hah. Tbone didn't type up the summary but we jumped 3 guys in a 1x1 by holding their door open, got locked in, and blew the wall with the only C4 and grenades we had.
-
I blame Tbone for getting us locked into the other persons house.
-
Lucky for you guys zero and I were there to save you! And kill the guy with the M4...
-
I shot him with an arrow
-
And if I didn't kill him he would have killed you while you were reloading your bow.
-
And whose awesome plan was it to lure them out? That's right!

Why did i imagine this being spoken in the voice of Sterling Archer? LOL

I haven't updated this in a bit, but we're still playing Rust. We found a server that hasn't wiped for the entire month it's been open. It's also very populated, currently averaging between 40-60 players. We've inherited a massive base and built a second. We have accumulated quite a bit of loot. We've completely raided out several competitors. My dad is actually one of our dedicated farmers and everyone in the area has learned not to mess with him.
A lot of our initial players stopped playing after the first time we got raided or the server got wiped, but there are still five of us going strong!
-
Hasn't wiped for an entire month, you say?
Looks like I'll be hopping back into Rust, then!
-
Get back on we are raiding big time
-
Tbone, I registered on Rustmap.net under user name Maglorius.
-
We are running most nights with Tbone, Zero, kdude, Lithium, and Broin. Maglorius joined us last night. We are working on a second big base to secure our hold on hacker valley and will be looking to go after a major rival in the next day or so. Join us now for the fun and to support us in our endeavors to Raid the Raiders. We could use the help and extra man power now more than ever.
-
Wish I could join you guys right now, I am having Rust withdrawal!
I won't be back home until April 24, so I will be without for 2 weeks. Got to work before I can play!
How's the new base coming along?
-
New base is complete! Archnemesis is a new convert to the Rust flock as well! Got him set up tonight!
-
Registered on rustmaps. Username is Archnemesis
-
Fantastic! Can't wait to get home!
-
Rustmap is updated
-
So apparently Supa is back. I saw him typing with Killer and Alloys before logging off about how this "tadpole is going to be booming in 6 hours. i'm in farming mode"
Should be interesting to see how this plays out
-
We've had at least one person from Rust find our forums, so I figured I would create a private Rust forum that only FA members have access to. Information in the new Rust forums should now be protected from curious passer-byes.
-
Has the pw for the doors changed?
-
Has the pw for the doors changed?
No
-
Hmmmm....then I guess I am locked in someone's idea of a prison. LOL
-
That's kind of funny. You must be inside our old base. Someone else took it over when it started to decay.
-
Well that would explain that. Where is the new location?
-
Check rustmap.net - I have our new locations posted there! See you soon!
-
Apparently I am not in any groups. I'm registered as Phienyx
-
Weird. Ok, added you to the group! Sorry about that!
-
Thanks
-
I saw a fire near one of our bases. Went to check it out.... I'm so evil.

OMG lol. That is awesome. I bow to your greatness
-
Enjoyed that.
-
I want that shadow play. Pretty convenient for videos!
-
Here's our ambush from tonight, haha. I guess shadow play doesn't work well under dark conditions, so unfortunately the quality is pretty bad.

That was hilarious well worth staying up late for.
-
That wasn't sealcarl?
-
That wasn't sealcarl?
No, just random guys we ran across talking in their base.
-
So mean, lol.
-
So mean, lol.
They said they were going to go raid somebody. We were protecting some innocent in his base while potentially getting some free C4! Unfortunately, these guys had a different interpretation of "raid", and I guess they were just going to go check an empty shack.
-
Did you kill him too or just steal every morsel of food?
-
If you guys aren't playing Rust with us, you should be.
Tonight Broin logged on to one of our sniper towers to hear C4 going off. It turns out a group had tried to build on to the bottom of our base and another group was attempting to raid them. Broin grabbed his Bolt Action Rifle and proceeded to kill everyone. An hour later the five of us had wiped out both groups. The group that had built on to our base tried to plead for some sort of truce through the planks in the wall. Tick tick tick BOOM. BAM BAM BAM! Now they were all dead.
While looting that base, I noticed two guys watching me from the tree line. BAM! Killed one. The other ran. "We'll find him later." We tracked him to a decent base in the mountains. Three of them. "Please - we'll give you anything you want. We tried to talk to Broin. We were told this is your territory and not to cross you guys." "I'd move somewhere else if I were you". Left them alone for the night to think about their options. They had been raided a few days prior anyway.
Went down into the valley next to ours and found another base. Inside was one guy. He didn't talk. He went to the roof and fired. We fired back. "Guess I'm going to get the C4". Another base down.
Finally we go way up into the mountains at a base we had been keeping an eye on. It was huge now - four stories but spread out to a 20x4, essentially. "Ah, why not. Let's hit it". 30 C4 later and the base is ours. We put away our loot and logged out for the night.
I've been playing this game for six months now. I'm still surprised how much fun I can have in it. I think it cost me $20...lol.
-
Fantastic!
Sucks I missed out on the excitement!
-
We had an epic raid tonight. There's been a nearly "unraidable base" on our server for a while now, so of course we decided to raid it. It took a few hours of troubleshooting, but we finally found a way in (that didn't require spending 40 C4). Kudos to everyone for sticking with it and not giving up! It was too complicated to show in a video, but this screenshot shows a little bit of the craziness that we went through.
(http://www.thefuriousangels.com/images/epicraid.jpg)
-
Looks like stairway to gate to sleeping bag to pillar to box to enter wall.
-
It was actually top of base to pillar to pillar to pillar to barricade to sleeping bag. Then sleeping bag to box to wall with someone else going top of base to pillar to pillar to pillar to gateway to put stuff in box for sleeping bag person to get.
-
Today our Fort Knox base was raided and completely wiped clean of loot. We believe it was just destroyed, but it could have been taken by someone. We repaired it back up. Our South base was also hit, but nothing was taken - just a bunch of crap was built outside.
We believe it was retaliation for looting Sickened/Thor's decaying base, but it could have been an admin (I believe the metal base we hit was probably an admin's). Thor says he didn't have the C4 to do it, but we think he did (we didn't get to any of their small sacks). Thor also said they were done with the server as their tall metal base was still empty.
So we did the only thing there was left to do - took our remaining C4 and took over their 30 story metal base and declared it VICTORY TOWER!!!
-
Ok now I see what happened, I read the other thread before this one. So which base of theirs was decaying that was looted?
Did you guys finally hit that metal base up on the mountain?
Who on the server would have the ability to knock out fort Knox? Has NAC strengthen their forces? I know it couldn't have been Smoking Al or Huntility, I guess an admin would be the only other option.
-
Well tonight was a clusterfuck.
Spent 30 C4 raiding Angel in hopes of getting 180. Found the jackpot floor but ran out of C4. Grabbed the rest of the C4 we had (18) and got jumped on the way back by Thor's new group (Joker, Batman, Penguin). Took all 18 of our C4. Mag and I stayed up and made 4 more C4 in hopes of getting to the jackpot room. Took a different way back and got jumped in the field by Angel's by some hackers (insta headshot from a distance with rapid fire Mp5s - you know it when you hear it). RMB, Evo somethingish. I came back with a rock and killed one of them and somehow he respawned and insta killed me - like within 5 seconds. It was weird.
As a result, we are completely void of C4 (we did loot enough gunpowder to make about 20), we gave Thor's revenge group 18 to hit us with, and gave the hackers an extra 4 as well as an open wall to probably 180 more. It's going to be an uphill battle at this point.
-
Oh no!!!!! I got off too early!!! :'(
-
It's your fault Zero! :-P
Shit happens, we will prevail.
I started to think last night about Thor, are we sure he didn't loot out the Admins base and obtained 180 c4?
For losing what him and sicken lost, I didn't see a reason for him to come back unless he had a big reason to.
-
It is not our Thor but someone else who uses that name... It is not the same Joker either. This is a new group I checked the profiles and they are different.

I'll send a text if/when I remember, but patches wants us to all add him on Steam. Taco is taking a little vaca from Rust, so patches says to contact him about hackers and whatnot.
-
Ok cool!
-
What is the current server you're all playing on?
-
Same one since March. I believe the IP is still:
net.connect 69.65.42.109:28315
If not when we are on it'll be in your friends list.
-
Yes Come see VICTORY TOWER!!!
-
Thanks. I plan on it.
-
Thought I saw you log into Rust yesterday, Phienyx! Looks like our army may grow!
-
Yea, I did. I was trying to figure out which server to go to. Then I tried logging into a couple others with no success.
-
Make sure you pick Legacy when opening rust. once you are at the main menu hit the F1 key and type this into the console, net.connect 69.65.40.20:28915
This will bring you to the server we play on.
-
Ok. I guess that was my problem. I was opening up in Experimental.
-
WTF? No stone hatchets anymore?
-
You have you craft a stone hatchet, you get a powerful rock to start off with, lol!
-
Oh ok. I was looking to craft a stone hatchet. I just didn't see it in my list. I'll look again.
-
I'm still jacked up on adrenaline from tonight. Hopefully I can pass out soon. Great work from everyone involved!
Kdude was perfect as a distraction and lookout. Seriously, he was always in the right place at the right time.
DJ's intel was the only way things went smoothly. We wouldn't have even found their base or known they were gonna hit us tonight and work with Kilo without him. We might have been sitting ducks otherwise.
Lithium had one of the hardest and most stressful tasks of solo raiding and pulled it off without a hitch! That gave us the forward momentum to be successful the rest of the night.
As always, Broin's tracking and combat skills were invaluable. He was front of the line in every combat scenario and never went down. He's come a long way LOL! Of course his plan with the shacks worked brilliantly as well.
Mag shot everything and everything died. Just another day for Mag.
If we fell short anywhere it was with my leadership. There were some tough decisions to be made and I was a little wishy washy with what to do. Ultimately together we had the sense to make it all work, and at the end of the night that's what counts.
Thanks for staying up super late. Defended our base and raided two others simultaneously! Keep an eye out for LaceUp, loc, Kilo, and kush king. No doubt they will be trying to make our lives difficult (if they don't rage quit).
-
Just finished helping Kdude on his alternate/practice server.
A week or so ago the admin and some of the admins friends spawned C4 and completely cleaned Kdude out. He had months of stuff (low quality metal, C4, you name it), and it all got taken on a whim by the admin. Not one to back down from a challenge, Kdude spent all week farming 14 C4 to hit a small base he believed to be the admin's friends.
Hearing of his plight, I logged in to help. It was a simple 4x3, three stories tall, with two sleepers. The third and second story were full of boxes. Seemed like the right place, though I was surprised they hadn't built a new base with all the supplies they had gotten from Kdude.
The base was full of Kdude's stuff. The first two C4 netted us 25 C4, so at that point we already had enough to finish the base off. Every room was full of awesome loot (mostly hard earned wares of Kdude).
When I got to the third floor, I found this (http://thefuriousangels.com/images/Kduderaid.jpg). 350 C4 that the admin had spawned and left in boxes! We found the motherload! We spent the rest of the night clearing out the base, but Kdude needed a new spot that the admin and his friends didn't know about, so I built him the Coast Base but made out of metal. We moved all the stuff there and hid all the C4 in hidden small stashes in the doors in the stairway. As long as he's careful when he goes there, I doubt anyone will ever find it on that server.
The best part was when I came back to their base to pick up my sleeping bag, the walls exploded out of decay. It turns out they hadn't logged in in a few days and their base had now decayed open. Having already looted everything, we took the opportunity to destroy everything else in the base. When they come back, it'll look like the base decayed, including the boxes with all the stuff. They won't even be looking for a raider or that 350 C4! Epic ninja raid!
-
That is freaking awesome! Haha!
K Dude can literally rule that server with that much C4. Hopefully he doesn't get noticed on the coast by the admin. Looks like he did an awesome job scouting where they placed all his stuff.
