• How do I change what gender my character is?
    49 replies, posted
I am a man IRL, and I haven't played for months. I got on the game today to log in and find out my character is a female, I am receiving a lot of unwanted attention because of this and would like to change the gender to be a male. How do I do this?
Become admin of a server. Change gender in console.
Everyone's character's gender is determined semi-randomly by their Steam ID. Unless you are a server admin as GrymThor mentioned, you cannot change your gender. Welcome to Rust.
create a new steam account........or 12.
Is it possible to get a refund for this? It's quite immersion breaking for me to play as a guy. Especially on RP servers. =P Now that it's technically possible, I'd like to play my real gender, please.
Steam refund policy would apply.
[QUOTE=jumonjii;50121059]Steam refund policy would apply.[/QUOTE] Yes, but I bought rust a long time ago not knowing they had removed female player models. I was told they would be reinstated after remodelling, so I waited. Then I was told it would be random, so I figured there would be no point in petitioning yet, as there would be a 50% chance the problem would correct itself on its own. It did not, so I petitioned and was basically told to suck it. Let's just say the steam 2-day refund policy passed a looong time ago, before anyone knew this would become an issue. =P
You're also worried about expressing your personality through the appropriate character model in a caveman murder simulator.
Really not appreciating this SJW approach to game development, it's complete fucking bullshit to be honest. It's made all my friends completely turned off on the game and it's sad that this game will likely wither and die for such a sad reason as making some PC-statement. Had a lot of potential and had a lot of fun while it lasted.
What a sad lot you all are.
[QUOTE=gorewrath;50118540]my character is a female, I am receiving a lot of unwanted attention because of this and would like to change the gender to be a male.[/QUOTE] consider it a forced lesson on how to treat female gamers properly;) but unfortunately no, you can't; as others have said already, it's steam id based. that said, next iteration of the characters tends to be a reroll, so this isn't the final result. [QUOTE=~Seraphina~;50121041]Is it possible to get a refund for this?[/QUOTE] steam may refund you (1st refund or within the ~2hours of purchase), but technically they never said what gender your character model would be when you purchased, so it still kind of falls into the early access boat. [QUOTE=Zushakon;50121203]SJW[/QUOTE] or it could just be that the devs don't want players to spend too much time making a pretty avatar and not playing, so they figure dump the whole system and make it randomised. and that letting players choose gender opens up the whole race debate again. *insert slippery slope debate here*
I guess Facepunch is in NC. If I were you I would sue the hell out of them Gorewrath for causing you intentional mental abuse. Whatever idiot implemented this gender system should be fired for complete ignorance.

Folks are really jumping the gun with the sex in game. Give it time
I absolutely cannot grasp why people care about this
[QUOTE=Spacewolf;50122786]I absolutely cannot grasp why people care about this[/QUOTE] because they have differences, maybe? some of people like to identify themselves at least a little bit with the character they play (which is me also), some don't give a f..k, some just are hard trolls and like trolling even themselves :)

There's roleplaying servers in Rust? Say what
I suspect a wave of ban for this... steamcommunity.com/app/252490/discussions/0/365163686076340405/
[QUOTE=Nero_ink;50123587]I suspect a wave of ban for this... steamcommunity.com/app/252490/discussions/0/365163686076340405/[/QUOTE] For those too lazy to follow the link. Change your Race/Gender/PenisSize! [CLIENT SIDE ONLY!] Have you ever wanted to have a normal sized Pee Pee? Or dont want to be a female? Or just don't like being black? Well I present to you a client side only tool, other people will still be able to see your original but you will see what you changed instead. Features: -Race Change -Gender Change -Pee Pee Size (no lol you cant select your pee pee size on females) You can choose your Pee Pee size with a scale 1-7 inches, there are no 7+ inch models available. You can choose your race, black/white/asian/indian, selecting the same option will give you a different skin shade but will still be related to your choice. You can change your gender, Male/Female. Will this get me banned? No, it does not inject/modify/write into memory. EAC or any other anticheat will not catch this, and it's typically not a dangerous game breaking exploit. VAC will not be triggered for the same reason in the first sentence. How do I do this? Close rust completely before running this, otherwise it will probably crash your game and you will need to verify cache.

Once that's done, start rust up, join a server, and have fun! This is totally a virus! No, you can think that all you want. Scan it on virustotal or other sites, if anything it comes up as a "Gen" which stands for "Generic" basically, it is not a recognized program by Windows and unpublished, so most executables are detected with Win32Gens. Say however it said something like, "Backdoor, Trojan Horse" (NOT WIN32GEN.TROJAN) then it would be a virus. Have fun, guys!

That's just bad business.[/QUOTE] You guys should really read the Early Access blurb before buying a game:[quote]We haven't totally decided where the game is headed - so things will change. Things will change a lot. We might even make changes that you think are wrong.[/quote] This is exactly the type of situation that blurb was meant to prepare you for so you won't be upset when it actually happens.
[QUOTE=Marik Bentusi;50123632] This is exactly the type of situation that blurb was meant to prepare you for so you won't be upset when it actually happens.[/QUOTE] To be fair, it's more to cover the developers decision and justify it rather than prevent the salt mines from opening. People cry for any reason at all. The seem to think they're entitled to the game or aspects of, however will do no work towards making that expectation a reality. If you applied for a job with Facepunch to work on the game and actively developed it, it would take the shape you want. However people forget, they haven't done that. They paid for the Developers ideas and now they don't like it.
[QUOTE=Spacewolf;50122786]I absolutely cannot grasp why people care about this[/QUOTE] Same, I'm playing with like 6 friends, all of them are male IRL and 3 of them are female in game and after the initial reaction of "lol ur a gril" nothing happened. Plus we're almost always fully clothed so we can't even see it.
if anything facepunch as a girl now I would love to have my clothes reflect my figure. My very sexy figure

Edit: I didn't get what I wanted either. But I am someone who suffers from OCD-character-creation curse. I compulsively spend several hours customizing my character before I ever get to play. I am also known to re-roll after being a few hours into the game if something about the character class, design or traits feel just a little off. This is the reason I never completed some RPGs - too many re-rolls resulted in getting bored with the first chapter. Thus, I can appreciate the elegance of Gary's solution of player model diversity.
There is no poll in this thread, btw.

Does in-game gender matter this much to you, and why?
