    LIVESTOCK

    The October wipe adds cows and sheep with genetics, milk and cream, a biofuel generator for spoiled meat, locked loot rooms at 13 monuments, and a Bandit Camp helipad that must be repaired before air vehicles are sold.

    • —Grown animals and up to 400 wool sell to a new Stables vendor, who offers three randomized prices before refusing to trade for 15 minutes.
    • —The Air Wolf helipad starts each wipe broken; pooled resources repair it for the whole wipe and open the vendor to the whole server. Admins can revert it with vehicle.padrepairsrequired.
    • —Heavy fuse decay now scales with population: at 10 or fewer players online fuses last four times longer, tapering to normal at 100.
    • —Sandbags stack through four stages to a pillbox, grenades and C4 are client-predicted, and a mandatory Halloween update lands October 22 at 17:00 UTC.

    For your guild
    Decide before wipe night whether the clan pays for the helipad or waits, since repairing it also arms every rival on the server. Put one farmer on livestock early; milk and cream now stretch tea buffs, and the generator turns kitchen waste into fuel.

    POWER TRIP

    Facepunch's Player Maintained Monuments update lets heavy fuses restart the power plant, which in turn powers roadside lines, a supermarket freezer, oil pumping to Dome, and a satellite-crash loot event visible to the whole server.

    For your guild
    Every new system here runs on bodies. A group that claims the power plant controls recycler efficiency for the whole island, and the satellite crash tells every player on the server where the loot fell, so plan to fight over it rather than sneak it.

›About this page

The Guild Post gathers the latest Rust news from Facepunch Studios and the wider community into one page — patch notes, updates, and announcements as they publish, each linking back to the original source. The first-Thursday forced wipe, monthly monument and gameplay updates, and Facepunch’s weekly devblogs.

Where does Rust news come from?
We aggregate Rust dispatches from Facepunch Studios and community sources and link each headline back to its original publisher. We summarize and point out; we don't republish full articles.
How often is this page updated?
Continuously — the Rust feed refreshes as new news is published (cached for about 30 minutes), so the latest dispatches are always near the top.
Can I follow Rust news without checking the site?
Yes. Subscribe to the Rust RSS feed, or get a free weekly digest tailored to every game you play with a Guild Order account.
