The only aim in Rust is to survive. Everything wants you to die - the island’s wildlife, other inhabitants, the environment, and other survivors. Do whatever it takes to last another night.
Rust now enters its 13th year of continued expansion and has had over 395 content updates, with a guaranteed content patch every month. These include regular balance fixes, improvements to AI, and graphics, as well as updates to environments and the frequent addition of content such as new maps, more weapons, extra vehicles, and a plethora of utility items. Keep an eye out for regular seasonal events, as there’s always something interesting or dangerous (or both) happening on the island.
Updates to the game include:
Procedurally generated worlds with community map editor support
Host your own servers and with server-side modding support
Transportation: horses, modular cars, hot air balloons, helicopters, bikes, trains, boats, and more
Base Building and Raiding
New factions, enemies, and wildlife
Advanced underwater areas to discover
Complex electrical, farming, and automation systems…
