Simple User Guide for Rust - Rust

Hey Guys, this is just a stand-in topic before we get any kind of how-to manual put up. A few things people should know about : [b]Cold[/b] At night it gets cold, stay warm by either making a campfire, or putting on some clothes [b]Radiation[/b] If your rad level goes above 500 you will have radiation poisoning, you will be unable to heal and will take damage until all the rads are metabolised [b]Food[/b] Your food level decreases based on how much you move around and if your body is healing itself, Being cold also uses up alot more food. Once you are hungry you will begin taking damage [b]Crafting Window[/b] You can craft items by selecting them in the crafting window, as long as you have the required ingredients you can create it; You can learn to craft new items by studying blueprints [b]Trading/Dropping items[/b] You can drop items into the world by simply dragging the item onto your view of the world [b]Gathering[/b] You can gather things with the hatchet. If you kill an animal, use it on it to get meat and cloth. Some rocks also give you Ores which you can put into a campfire to extract components from (Metal, Sulfur ) [b]Research Kit[/b] Drag this onto any other item to learn how to create it. Requires 1 Paper per use [b]Blueprint[/b] Study this via right click to learn how to create this item [b]Item Mods[/b] Drag these onto an item to apply the modification, the item must have atleast one free slot to receive an item mod (Laser sight, Flashlight, Holo sight, Silencer (unused) ) [b]Loot[/b] Supplies will dwindle fast, loot everything you can and don't forget to loot zombies when you kill them, some items are only found by killing zombies, or in specific types of crates. [i]Red Crate[/i] Medical supplies, flares, and blueprints [i]Yellow Crate[/i] Ammo, Item mods [i]Green Crate[/i] Weapons, Weapon Mods, Ammo [i]Wood Boxes[/i] Mostly junk, limited ammo, flares, rare chance for armor [i]Zombie Loot Sacks[/i] Weapon parts, blueprints, medical supplies, armor parts, item mods, basically a small chance for everything [b]Getting stuck[/b] Right now it is possible to fall off the edge of the map, or get stuck in a tight place and your character can't move, if this happens all you have to do is type [b]/do unstick[/b] in the chat window and your character will have it's position reset to a random spawn point [b]Choppy objects[/b] Rarely, the client clock can get unsynchronized from the server, if you notice players or zombies teleporting a foot or more instead of walking type [b]/do reclock[/b] in the chat window and after a few seconds things should return to normal. Please note this is temporary and will be detected and automated in the near future. [b]Input delay[/b] A few users have reported a visual delay between moving their mouse and their view updating. Please visit [url]http://unity3d.com/webplayer[/url] and download the latest version. [b]Framerate Issues[/b] Go into the options menu and toggle fullscreen, WARNING sometimes this can lock up your computer, we're looking into it, we think its a problem with the unity webplayer build Alternatively you can toggle things on/off in the options menu or just press / and * on the numpad to decrease/increase graphical settings If you have the Unity Editor installed, it helps to download the end user version of their webplayer plugin, the development one runs much slower

Thanks for this, I was wondering what the Research & Recycle kits were for.

Thank you, I didn't know the colors of the crate ment something! I don't understand this: [quote] 25% chance for no slots, 75% chance for 1-5 slots [/quote] part though.

[QUOTE=ZaroX;39155803]Thank you, I didn't know the colors of the crate ment something! I don't understand this: part though.[/QUOTE] It means when the item is created, there is a 25% chance it will have no slots for modifications (the little white squares) and a 75% chance it will roll for 1 to 5 of them

A few updates to the guide

and BAM, nice to knwo crates have significants. kinda thought they did but wasnt sure what crate color meant what. helpful.

Quick question - how does one create stashes? Is it a recipe you eventually loot off a zombie and I'm just unlucky as hell, or is there something special that needs to be done?

[QUOTE=lazermaniac;40014705]Quick question - how does one create stashes? Is it a recipe you eventually loot off a zombie and I'm just unlucky as hell, or is there something special that needs to be done?[/QUOTE] find a stash item, put it and a research kit in a workbench. it will make you a blueprint. or if you have a Blueprint. right click it in your inventory click info and tada there it shows you the materials and there amounts needed to craft the item.

so I closed the crafting section of my inventory and can't open it. how undo?

Updated the user guide to reflect the recent changes in the game

[QUOTE=InUndenial;41034715]so I closed the crafting section of my inventory and can't open it. how undo?[/QUOTE] I want to know this also, it seems to be irreversible other than exiting and coming back seems to be a Firefox specific problem the UI just doesn't exist in Firefox, or at least the full window doesn't work for me. Chrome is fine though.

How do I turn part snapping back on? I disabled it somehow.

[QUOTE=Zorus;41044799]I want to know this also, it seems to be irreversible other than exiting and coming back seems to be a Firefox specific problem the UI just doesn't exist in Firefox, or at least the full window doesn't work for me. Chrome is fine though.[/QUOTE] Going into fullscreen and then back to smallscreen fixes the UI problem for me.

I can't even access the menu, I pressed ESC and even / * but no success.

[QUOTE]Yellow Crate Ammo, [B]Item mods[/B][/QUOTE] What do you mean with item mods?

[QUOTE=scratch (nl);41055831]What do you mean with item mods?[/QUOTE] Gun attachments.

but I think gun attachments are these [QUOTE] Green Crate Weapons, [B]Weapon Mods[/B], Ammo[/QUOTE]

So I have the latest version of Unity Web Player and I still get insane fps lag so I have to play on lowest everything and lowest resolution when similar games like BeGone have no problem and I'm playing on highest.

[QUOTE=garychencool;41057148]So I have the latest version of Unity Web Player and I still get insane fps lag so I have to play on lowest everything and lowest resolution when similar games like BeGone have no problem and I'm playing on highest.[/QUOTE] Begone is a WAY more simple game than Rust.

Is there any way to play this with dual monitors in fullscreen, Without the mouse cursor unlocking from the center.

Can anyone outline the best way to set up a fort/spawn? For example.. Get cloth-Build Sleeping bag- Get wood-Build fort?

It might be worth noting that additional information is laying around [url=http://play-rust.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Guides]here[/url]

How to create 5.56 or shotgun ammo? U need blueprints for that?

[QUOTE=dedoha;41083804]How to create 5.56 or shotgun ammo? U need blueprints for that?[/QUOTE] If you can't craft it by default, and it isn't a material, you need blueprints for it.

Pretty useful when you're only just starting out. Thanks!

I cannot, for the life of me, find any blueprints. I've been playing a few hours now, and I've killed a handful of zombies, but no blueprints. Are there areas where there are larger numbers of zombies?

[QUOTE=~ZOMG;41094134]I cannot, for the life of me, find any blueprints. I've been playing a few hours now, and I've killed a handful of zombies, but no blueprints. Are there areas where there are larger numbers of zombies?[/QUOTE] You just have to keep killing. Our band of survivors have resorted to killing players who intimidate us and looting abandoned homes, sometimes they'll have spare blueprints on them which you can grab.

what are the possible research kit spawns?

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;41096254]You can sometimes find blueprints in... green crates was it? or blue...[/QUOTE] Blue last time I checked. Or was it red? [editline]20th June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=A_Pigeon;41097037]what are the possible research kit spawns?[/QUOTE] Zombies and crates. The most easy way to them is off of players.
