Another new update is upon us and there has been a many changes to the server. With new people and new groups.

Moving forward, we can either keep it the way it is, or we can wipe to start over with new rules. The new update will fix a lot of issues of saves, and starting over can reset the balance of power. Maybe have everyone have a fresh start and split the teams.

Please let me know with your comments.

Wipe or No Wipe? 2/18…

Here in Brave New Rust, I try to make the Rust experience the best as possible.

I know when I started this game, I was lost and I couldn’t find my way where I was going with the map.

With the iPanel Update, it gives you at least a sense of idea of where you are going. Also a counter, to let you know that you are not alone.

If you didn’t know we have a Live Map feature on the server. You just need to log in with your steam account and you can locate yourself on the Map.

http://map.playrust.io/?173.199.84.76:28016

This feature is made so you and your buddies can group up faster and help gather resources safer.

Info on the iPanel will be below, hope you enjoy. Thanks again for being part of the community.

Stay Rusty,

Server is Up! Again.

Server provider said there was a corrupt file in the save file, so couldn’t auto save.

Had to removed the file and server should be up and running again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Any lost building lost from rollback, I will help give back building materials.

Thank you.

The server is having a problem with the saving part on the server, the new patch seem to be buggy on the global.saves. I’m currently talking to the server provider and going through the forums to try to solve it.

I apologize for any inconvenience, I know you guys worked really hard to built up.

So once I get this all working up and running I can give you back building materials to build back again. I will try my best to keep all of your progress.

Again, sorry for the server issues. To be determine…

“Ladder hatches are in. As well as adding floor frames, this now makes the game 666% more sinister. This is a server wiping update, so we’ve tweaked Proc Gen a little. There’s info on the upcoming XP and levelling system, and lots more.” – Rustified, Craig Pearson

It appears the update will launch around normal time (4-6pm EST)

Force Wipe – As admin, Server will be back to Vanilla. No more Freebies.

New Players will get a Rust Starter Kit upon request.

I will try to get the server updated as soon as I can so we can start playing again.
