A bit of Rust lore is revealed by the marketplace. - Rust

So if you go to the marketplace and check the description for the Gmod shirt (Sandbox Game Shirt) it says this: [QUOTE]A blue tshirt featuring the logo of a sandbox based video game which was extremely popular in the early 21st century, before the changes.[/QUOTE] Seems interesting to me. What do you think? [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/252490/Sandbox%20Game%20Shirt"]The shirt in the marketplace.[/URL]

It's pretty clear that [I]something[/I] has happened, and the islands the Newmans wake up on are post-civilization (aside from the mysterious airdrops that keep delivering supplies--but that may simply be a placeholder for now...or not). [U]What[/U] happened, however, is unclear. Things have gotten bad enough that satellites are falling and planes have crashed, along with a number of abandoned ruins, both implemented and concept art.

GARRY Crop that created the virus made a island . wher the where trying to find out the best way to fight the zombies . so the started sending people to the island with nothing but a torch and a rock . and no memories of what or who the where. many died in the begging but thanks to the re spawn option that was not a issue eventually zombies died out by the hands of the island inhabitants , but then something went wrong the virus hade evolved and that how Mutant animals where created , then human that where alive wiped them out . Somehow everyone died in garry corp . leaving everyone in the island . at random times a week the island wipes and there is a new island making people restart for survival . thankfully no more virus :P . what i think happened to garry corp is that a mutant chicken went in under a fence and got in and killed everyone in garry corp . in the control room where the where keeping an eye on the people on the island there was a BIG red button . the chicken presses it and it drops chicken food so it does that every time it wants more food . making the island wipe and makes a new seed for the island. not sure why it would drop chicken food . maybe one of the scientist hade a chicken as a pet ? maybe it betrayed him :O

Zombies were never intended to be a part of Rust. Well, the human zombies, at least. [URL="http://www.facepunchstudios.com/2013/09/04/fluffy-chickens-for-everyone/"]The fluffy chickens are a different story.[/URL]

I like the idea that it is a prison some 50,000 years into the future, where you are sentenced to endless cycle of life and death.

I think it's interesting that the only two country t-shirts that were officially released are of Germany and Russia. I think Garry is trying to communicate.
