(EXPLOIT!) Bugged "underground" bases - Rust

Firstly, I'm relatively new to Rust. I've only been playing it for a few weeks. Secondly, I'm a huge fan of this game. It's full of great ideas and the combat is amazing overall. Now, here's what's making me give up. Inside-rock/underground/inside-prefab bases. Careful steps allow nefarious individuals to get pushed through walls or inside rocks. While inside said walls or rocks, they are free to build an invissible base which is completely inaccessible by normal means. And that's not even the end of it. They can shoot out from inside their rocks, without exposing themselves to return fire (yes, they literally shoot through walls). I am shooting myself in the foot here, I know, but this is going to have to get worse before it gets better. The ONLY counterplay to this gamebreaking exploit is to wall them in. Here's an example of a bugged base: This is Sherbal's home on Facepunch Nottingham. He doesn't live there alone, but so far he is the only one who has been reckless enough to kill me from the inside of that intra-prefab compound.

Hello! I'm a player on the Facepunch Nottingham and i approve of this message! He lives just outside my base and i cannot leave my home without pretty much dying. He is shooting from under a rock and it's so frustrating!

devs will find a way to stop it! instant kill or death beyond the boundary or jut a preventive block masking the rocks , so noone can bypass the tiles! :)

But what about now? Can one of the devs enter the server and help us out? It's an official server, there's no admin to run to! Please help us!

After about 10 deaths to shots from the inside of the rock, i manage to finally get the timing right for a screenshot :) You probably don't need evidence as such, to know that there's something wrong here, but i just wanted to show you, how it works. [url]http://imgur.com/TGXs9nD[/url]

is it on a Facepunch official dev branch servers or community server? and get the player name game name or other means! and go here to get the steam id here: [URL="https://steamid.io/"]https://steamid.io/[/URL]

It is on the official Facepunch Nottingham server. Sharbel ID; STEAM_0:0:82020356 I think he's the main architect, but there are more people involved. The other guys are called something like (ArabicSign)_Clarence And then theres a guy called [FOX]SneakyPeaky something. But i cannot find their ID's.

good good job man!:goodjob:

We're considering using High External Stone walls to trap him in

iam sure he will soon be watched ..... i mean on Nottingham dev server

Is there no way to get in touch with admins on official servers? It would be so easy to just go in there, see it for themselves, and get rid of them!

I don't know how to look people up. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/4V73u4Z.jpg[/IMG] I'll try to make a complete list of everyone living in this bugged base, but there must be some way of detecting who passes through objects like this.

Thanks so much for what you've done so far Panzerguard!

[IMG]https://i.imgur.com/4iIHNYL.jpg[/IMG] Just lol.

confirmed! ! got to love chat at times! snapshot! lol sharbel: 4 months doing it! he must make 12.50 an hr! lol rhino where are u! haha

Ok. so.. for science I befriended him and got bagged into his base. He explained me the details of how to make the base and showed me the insides of it. It involves placing a chest halfway through a wall (allowing for transfer of items between outside realm and inside realm) and a sleeping bag through the wall. [editline]15th February 2016[/editline] While I was in there holmzy (admin) appeared and deleted the base. Sadly he did not ban the individuals responsible for the continued exploitation of ingame bugs. But atleast we can farm without being shot by rocks! Atleast until he rebuilds the base :/

Thanks to holmzy all is now well! Thank you Facepunch for caring for the game and players!

congrats!!

Just do what every other rust player does when they hate someone.... Grind out some sulfur make a few rockets and blow the crap out of their crap shack. Then to top it of by griefing the base hard.

[QUOTE=Hansome Jack;49747622]Just do what every other rust player does when they hate someone.... Grind out some sulfur make a few rockets and blow the crap out of their crap shack. Then to top it of by griefing the base hard.[/QUOTE] Does that work? I've never tried spamming rockets at world made objects, so I can't say for sure, but it was my understanding that rocks, rivers and monument buildings had infinite health. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Nice to hear that a little justice happened, though big changes are due soon for Rust (which is exciting!) so exploits like these will eventually become less and less 'exploitable'. This also means plenty more wipes to come, so restarts for everyone!
