Interest in a Rust Server

[ZachPL 1754]

I've only ever played vanilla servers so I was kind of leaning that way, but with that being said there probably wouldn't be ways to really monetize it all that effectively 

[Clamps 4783]

I dont think we'll get much of a population if we leave it vanilla. There's just plenty of official vanilla servers out there to join. I voted for modded. Doesnt have to be anything nuts, but 2 or 3x resources and even maybe /tp would work. 

[Faded 266]

So I never actually got into Rust, but I do have it and would try again if the sG community got one going. I voted either because I honestly have no experience with either to make a contribution towards either argument...

Those that play rust. Do you even bother looking at the modded server list at all? We might be interested in adding some mods that had a minimum impact and the vanilla gameplay. However I think that even installing one that does not change vanilla gameplay one bit forces the server on the modded list. I just worry about shooting ourselves in the foot if most people don't even look at that list.

i don't look very often unless its for a battlefield server.besides that the only mods that aren't like game changing would be like the death notify one or the ones that assist building.

Why wouldn't you do teleport mods and insta craft like moose said?

 

Fuck trying to sit there and wait for that shit to load.

[ZachPL 1754]

The entire point of the game is to collect resources, build , and raid so having mods that do 2 of the 3 things kinda takes the point out of it in my opinion

my standing on modded servers,they ruin the game.

[Velo 2077]

Will download the game tonight, let's get this shit going boys

[ZachPL 1754]

Should be up in some form today or tomorrow

I said don't do insta-craft. As Zach said, that would defeat the purpose...

I really would be into creating our own mod... perhaps a war3-like level up system, which you can choose to increase craft/resource gathering speeds, etc.?

 That would be a nice addition, but it also would not completely take away the grinding aspect of the game. As far as a tp mod imo those ruin the game since you could be trapped and have 4 people tp to you and then easily get away. I'd love a rust server but im not sure how much I'll be able to play on it due to my toaster. Last time I tried to play rust I got less than 10fps

How will we know when the servers up if you decide to launch it today?

[ZachPL 1754]

There will be an announcement.

[Ordinarygamer96 785]

I'll be down to try Rust over the summer if we get a thing going. I'd like a server that makes it a bit easier as I've never played before.

[Velo 2077]

I'm installed and ready to go.

[ZachPL 1754]

Server is up, rust.joinsg.net:28015

 

We installed oxide so it will show under modded, but it will be mostly vanilla for now with the only game change which isn't really a game change is the clan plugin.

Can we maybe get a rust event going for this weekend or next weekend? Maybe drum up some players with steam group notifications or something

[Dakka 854]

I believe the server should have teleport commands since running through every danger (bears, raiders and helicopters mostly) to your friend's house isn't always worth it.

We could have a competition like JBingo where you have to complete certain tasks and screenshot them.

• Run over a mine and survive!
• Kill a bear with a wooden spear!
• (With a mod that tracks the distances you get kills) Kill a player with a crossbow at a distance of 100m!

Something like that but a lot more creative and challenging.

[centran 4457]

There wouldn't be an event for a month or two. We are still discussing types of plugins, doing wipes, other backend stuff, etc.

 

Also I wouldn't count on a teleport command. There was issues with our minecraft server and we do not want to see those come about in rust. I have one idea that may make it debatable but I need to research the api first. Unfortunately the only well documented calls are for the C# language and given the server is linux we want to avoid having to code in C#. That leaves me cross referencing the unfilled gaps in the docs for other languages and looking at the C# one to see what those methods give you access to and how it would translate into the other language. Not very fun.

 

tl;dr - shit is going to change so be patient with us

after about 2500 hrs I can confidently say TP is aids.  you wouldnt know until you got tp cheese raided if you think its bad now how would you feel about the fact someone could set their tp in their house spawn there and kill you?

Since its already not vanilla server needs to be bumped to 2x 3x otherwise people arent gonna play. If you wanna stay lightly modded take a look at deadlaugh server they got something pretty decent going on over there.. and centran, I totally laddered into your house and blasted you the other night

10 second teleport, the person being asked for a teleport has to agree, and remove the ability to set teleports.

 

In all cases, it's the person that allowed the teleport's fault if their base gets raided by the people that teleported to them.

I said remove the ability to set teleports in my post, meaning no way to "/set home" anywhere.

The point is to get to your friends alive without having to suicide into a bag.
