PROGRESSION CHANGES

Continuing from last month’s controversial Meta Shift changes and our push to make meaningful experimental changes to Rust’s progression, this month we’re taking things a step further.

By making progression easier! Wait, what? Bear with me.

Today, we’re wiping all Blueprints, wiping all servers, and drastically reducing tech tree and research costs:

  • Common: 15 (down from 20)

  • Uncommon: 30 (down from 75)

  • Rare: 60 (down from 125)

  • Very Rare: 120 (down from 500)

We’ve also removed scrap crafting costs from Workbenches, while Blueprint Fragment requirements remain unchanged.

By drastically reducing unlock costs and removing scrap from workbench crafting, the progression curve will feel smoother without removing that sense of effort or reward.

BOX SORTING

Got a Storage Adaptor attached to a box? You’ll now find it has a power input and some new box sorting settings available when you open it.

The custom snapshot mode allows you to set a container up with the item layout that you want, take a snapshot of it, and then the sorter will attempt to recreate that snapshot as best it can. Box sorting is enabled on various storage items.

MINI FRIDGE

Keep your food fresh and neatly stored with the new Mini Fridge deployable.

Perfect for solo players or tight base designs, the Mini Fridge bridges the gap between early-game food storage and late-game luxury, giving you a simple, power-efficient way to keep your meals from spoiling.

MONUMENT PUZZLE RESET CHANGES

Last month’s Meta Shift update caused quite a lot of activity around monuments due to the new blueprint fragment system.

Due to the value of these fragments, camping around monuments to ambush players became a popular playstyle. To resolve this, we’ve made several changes to how most keycard monuments reset and refresh their loot.

MEDICAL SYRINGES AND HORSES

Medical syringes can now be used on horses to heal them and provide a temporary speed boost, enhancing gameplay for horse riders.
