Rust, the renowned multiplayer survival game, has just released a groundbreaking update known as The Crafting Update. This major patch is designed to broaden the creative horizons of players by introducing a variety of exciting new features. One of the standout additions is the culinary workbench, where survivors can now indulge in culinary arts by grilling chicken legs and enjoying them with a shot of Siberian vodka. Cooking these dishes requires specific recipes, and well-prepared meals offer stat boosts and modifiers that can significantly enhance your gameplay experience.
In this update, players can now raise chickens and chicks in coops, providing a home where these birds can live, lay eggs, and flourish with proper care. Each chick comes with four essential attributes: Hunger, Thirst, Love, and Sunlight. Failing to meet any of these needs can lead to the unfortunate demise of your feathered friends. The meat from chickens will spoil over time, rendering it unusable unless stored in a working refrigerator. Additionally, food items now come with timers to indicate their expiration dates, helping players manage their resources more effectively.
For those with a penchant for sweets, wild beehives can now be discovered on trees. Extracting honeycombs requires careful handling and relocating them to player-crafted hives made from wooden boxes. Bees are not to be underestimated, as they can be fierce adversaries. To avoid their stings, players must don protective suits, douse themselves with water, or resort to using flamethrowers. A novel weapon, the Bee Grenade, which looks like a jar of honey, has been introduced. When broken, it unleashes three swarms of aggressive bees, compelling players to scatter for safety.
The engineering workbench has undergone a complete overhaul, now boasting a dedicated tech tree for plumbing and electricity. This allows players to construct automated systems and even entire factories, revolutionizing the way they interact with the game's environment. Furthermore, the developers have introduced premium servers, which are exclusively accessible to players whose Rust inventory is valued at a minimum of $15. This initiative is aimed at filtering out cheaters and disruptive players, ensuring a more enjoyable and seamless experience for dedicated gamers.
