Rust, the beloved multiplayer survival game, has just released a significant update known as The Crafting Update, designed to enrich the creative possibilities for its players. This patch introduces a variety of new features that enhance the gameplay experience. One of the standout additions is the culinary workbench, where survivors can now indulge in culinary delights such as grilled chicken legs, perfectly complemented by a shot of Siberian vodka. Crafting these dishes requires following specific recipes, and enjoying well-prepared meals can grant players stat boosts and gameplay modifiers, adding a strategic element to meal preparation.
The update also introduces chicken coops, allowing players to raise chickens and chicks. These animals have four essential needs: Hunger, Thirst, Love, and Sunlight. Proper care is crucial, as neglecting any of these needs can lead to the unfortunate demise of the birds. Chicken meat obtained from these coops will spoil over time, making it essential to store it in a functioning refrigerator to maintain its usability. Players will appreciate the added realism with timers on food items, indicating when they will expire.
For those with a penchant for sweets, the update brings the exciting addition of wild beehives found on trees. Extracting honeycombs requires careful handling and transferring them to player-crafted hives made from wooden boxes. Dealing with bees can be hazardous, so players must come prepared with protective suits, water to douse themselves, or even flamethrowers to avoid painful stings. A novel weapon, the Bee Grenade, resembling a jar of honey, has been introduced. When thrown and shattered, it unleashes three swarms of aggressive bees, compelling players to scatter for safety.
The engineering workbench has undergone a complete redesign, now boasting a dedicated tech tree for plumbing and electricity. This enables players to construct sophisticated automated systems and potentially entire factories, expanding the scope of player creativity and strategic planning. Additionally, the developers have introduced premium servers, exclusively accessible to players whose Rust inventory exceeds a value of $15. This initiative is aimed at filtering out cheaters and disruptive players, promising a more enjoyable and seamless gaming experience for dedicated enthusiasts.
