WIPE 18/09 - RUN FROM THE HELI!

INSERTT — Fri, 18 Sep 2015 15:35:01 +0000

Some major changes to Rust happen this update, a new event that calls a Helicopter,a GATE, new weapon attachments and more.

---------------- SERVER INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------------------------------

KITS
Since our server is now x10 gather for a while, Kits were not that rewarding. So i've tweak them a bit, not to make it super easier because there is limitations, but at least I've improve the quality of tools and more to help you start

COMPASS
Usually compass GUI is a bit anyoing, but I've edited the plugin to make him as smaller as I can and its a good alternative if you dont have a computer that can have the the playrust.io map,simultaneously, open.

REMOVER TOOL
Remover tool was updated, now you dont need to have a item to remove stuff. Just do /remove, be close and look at the item and press mouse1. Remeber you can't have anything on your hands to do this, no weapons, no tools, just your bare hands out :D

Blueprints
I've manually save all you guys blueprints, this way it won't be so frustraing to wipe and start again.

All this changes was feedback that I've recieve in this 3 weeks from players on the server, so keep sugesting stuff and if majority players agree i'll keep improving :)

INSERTT — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 22:10:59 +0000

---------------- INFORMATION ------------------

TOOL CUPBOARDS
Previous patch, rust changed the way cupboards range works. Bascialy in on gives protection to surroundings and everything above but doesnt protected anything above the cupboard.
You should be carefull how you build your toolcupboards now, and I advise you guys to watch this video so you can compreend more what im describing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym5aerXb5kQ

This is very important, since i've removed the plugin this video shows how RUST default and our server uses the tool cupboards

Blueprints
I've manually save all you guys blueprints, this way it won't be so frustraing to wipe and start again. I remember that I can't controlo this wipes but I want to help as much as i can with this small detail :)

GATHER X10 - WIPE 22/08

INSERTT — Sat, 22 Aug 2015 13:33:17 +0000

After more than 3 weeks of adventures server was wiped today!

---------------- CHANGES ------------------

Gather from x5 to x10 - Quaries from x4 to x8
Well, imo gather x5 is the perfect balance, not to hard, not to difficult, but more and more rust players won't to spent less time farming and more time having fun. Since alot of feedback was pointed to increase the gather, i've done that and now x10 for gather and x8 for quarries will help you guys achieve the late game more fast and it will less frustrating to get raided.

Stacks
Since gather is now way faster, stacks need to improve aswell: Wood/Stones/Charcoal = 100K | Metal.Frags/Sulfur= 50K | HQ Metal/Oil = 10K Etc.

Players Online GUI
Sometimes In-game overlays are a bit buggy and gives an error that disconnect players. I've tested this alot and it seems stable so we will have a fancy way to see the online players. This explanation is just to justify why I don't have to much overlays on the server

Voteday
Plugin was renamed to it is more 'intuitive' so goodbye /dayvote and welcome /VOTEDAY !

NEW WIPE (STARTED TODAY 22 AUGUST)
GATHER IS x10
MORE STACKS(to keep the gather ratio)
NEW OVERLAY(players and sleepers)

07/08 - FORCED WIPE (LIVE)

INSERTT — Fri, 07 Aug 2015 13:33:07 +0000

Hey guys I'm happy to see that our rocket change is the same as implemented by this patch. Also you can't build on monuments now, another change that we already had :D

So as you know every server was forced to wipe today and since I was here for 4hours waiting for plugin updates I'll hv to delay and server will only be up after midnight of today.

There is alot of new goodies. A new kind of barrel(crude oil) more barrels split across the map, great loot on the ORB monument,etc.

But lets talk about our server

---------------- CHANGES ------------------

Animals
On the last couple of days I was already testing a new plug-in that allows me to spawm and guarantee more animals on the server. Comparing to vanilla we have more 100 animals and they keep that number every 15min.

MAP SIZE
Server doesn't have enough people to support that huge map we had, so I've tweak it down a little, we know have 3km2 of map to explore :)

Radiation
Radiation was turn off, we like the way it was last week so we will continue without any radtions on the towns :)
ps:Its automatic but can take 30s to disable radiation when server restarts

Reminders
Quick notes: there is a new type of material "Leather" dropped on animals to craft armour or more high end gear. Now its worth to explorer the satellite and even more the orb monument.

NEW WIPE (starts on 07/08 at 1h00)
ANIMALS TO FARM(everywhere)
MAP SIZE(a bit smaller)
NO RADIATION

24/07 @ NEW CHANGES

INSERTT — Thu, 23 Jul 2015 22:25:37 +0000

---------------- CHANGES ------------------

SETHOMES
You can now have 2 HOMES :)

BARRELS
Alot of default blueprints were eliminated from barrels, still need more feedback to remove more.
Also it now spawns 4 itens on crates instead of 3

NEW MATERIAL / STACK SIZE
Rust introduced a new material, HIGH QUALITY METAL. One change is that instead of 500 metal fragments to upgrade to armored now you'll need 50 High Quality Metal Refined.
It seems that metal fragments to HQMetal is 1/10 racio, so the stacks will be set on 1,5K (for HQM ore and HQM refined)

ROCKET DMG
Since now building upgraded walls is more expensive and rare, I had to nerf the already super strong rockets.
NORMAL rockets (others stay the same) are giving same AOE as HV rockets (3 units instead of default 5) and 200 damage from 275.
To have a prespective HV rockets deal 150 dmg(not changed).

TL;DR:

NEW WIPE (started on 24/07 at 00h)
NORMAL Rockets deals LESS DMG(16 or 17 of July)
Can have 2 HOMES
NEW MATERIAL STACK= 1,5K

NEW SERVER IP

INSERTT — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 22:46:58 +0000

PROBLEM

Server was not full and it got me thinking about why... well the BIGGEST problem was found, no ONE could find the server throw rust server list...

Why did this just happen? On the same machine a CS:GO server was banned, and since the IP is the same and we have VAC system on RUST, our server was putted on a BLACKLIST making it impossible to find unless you have the ip!

Client.connect 185.38.148.24:28055

So we changed machine and got a new IP, everything was transferred and I have to thank everyone that is here on the group because we were 20 sleepers just from WORD to WORD, we're going to be ONE AWESOME, SUPER GOOD SERVER =D

NEW WIPE TODAY - 17/07

INSERTT — Thu, 16 Jul 2015 17:25:41 +0000

WIPE

Hello guys! Past couple of days server as been a bit empty, in part because we didn't implement the restriction of ladders at the beginning and now we need a fresh start to call more attention.

Not everything is bad, Blueprints won't be wiped! (unless we encounter some kind of bug.)

Since I had some new features check our server commands here RustEU/PT Server Commands

The wipe will depend of the RUST update, so it can be today(16 JULY) starting from 21h00 or just during the few hours of the next day (gmt+1=UK time)

---------------------------- NEW FEATURES ----------------------------

We keep improving each time we wipe and this means balancing the game and new stuff introduce!

ANIMALS
Since a few devblogs ago animals are really rare, I can't make them spawn more, what I can do is make them last longer when harvesting them. This will mean that (ONLY) when a animal is dead he will have 2x more hp than before, giving you guys more satisfaction to find one and more loot.

CHAT and Private Messages
Alot of people use teamspeak to communicate but I'm sure that sometime your friends are not on TS or you want to negotiate something private with a stranger, now you can send them a PM and replay without anyone on the server seeing it.

Example: I want to send a message to anti-logic
/pm anti you are so dead bro, watch your back!

Clock with Server Time
If we are not on the same timezone its a bit inconsistent for me to say "hey guys server restart at 17h00". Well, not anymore, we all have a GMT+1 clock overlay on the top left corner :)

If you want to disable it just type /clock

/remove
Now when you do remove a overlay will start a countdown informing how much long you have it.

MAP
For 50 players, the map is too big, we almost don't see anyone nowadays. And if you want to go to biomes or farming you need to walk so much!
So the map will be a bit smaller,a a few of you guys won't even notice.

From 4,5km2 to 3,5km2

LADDERS
You can now place ladders on rocks (even if building is blocked), but you CAN'T on player made structures (walls/founda/pillars/etc)

TL;DR:

NEW WIPE AFTER RUST UPDATE
This will hapen TODAY night or Tomorrow (16 or 17 of July)
ANIMALS GIVES MORE STUFF
"/REMOVE" HAS A FANCY overlay
A CLOCK with real time (gmt+1)
PRIVATE MESSAGES
SIGHTLY SMALLER MAP
LADDERS works on rocks but not on buildings

NEW SERVER - UPCOMING CHANGES!

INSERTT — Tue, 07 Jul 2015 10:35:50 +0000

Server provider
This information its a bit extra but I like to give feedback when I experience a bad service so It won't happen again... and well, our server had, more and less, 7 days of life and every time it reach 1/4 of full capacity it started lagging out!

We had to restart server 3/4 times a day and we don't want that kind of frustration on our players! So people, DON'T CHOOSE GameServers[www.gameservers.com] !! NO!!

---------------------------- NEW SERVER ----------------------------

So we will have a new server, with a new adress starting all over again!
Yes I know its a bit sad for people that already had a good house, but is it better to start over on a server that as a, IMO, good gather rate or keep playing and suffer lag on this one? So new server, new wipe, new start!

Some changes on the new server
Alot of people are annoyed don't having /remove , the reason I disable It was mainly because of griefing... raiding and controlling Tool Cup means destroy all bases on raid and I didn't want that!
So solution? Adding another plugin: every time someone builds something he will be the OWNER (tool cups still work for friends being able to build inside that area), and only OWNERS can use remove!

This will prevent griefing but plugin its a bit buggy, and for instance you won't be able to remove furnaces or objects.
Also the remove will not give you resources back, this will prevent building and demolish without having a draw back.

TL;DR:

New Server Host (new address=WIPE)
This will hapen TODAY night or Tomorrow (7 or 8 of July)
NO MORE LAG (lets reach 50 PLAYERS)
"/remove" Will be available for everyone
If you have any other suggestion (like some resources needs to give a little more or less) post on the comments bellow

Server Provider Having Issues - Server offline for now -

INSERTT — Mon, 06 Jul 2015 18:11:01 +0000

At 16h30 GMT+1 (UK TIME) our server provider send us the following mensage:

"Network difficulties are currently being experienced in the London, UK location. End users may experience elevated latency levels and/or an inability to connect to services. We are working in an effort to correct the issue. We will provide additional updates here once they become available."

So I guess the dificulties is the network beeing F*****, nothing we can do and no ETA for server beeing up :/

PS: ITS 19h30 (GMT+T), server is back and ALIVE!!
