Rust, the beloved multiplayer survival game, has just unleashed a game-changing update known as The Crafting Update. This exciting patch is designed to broaden your creative horizons with a slew of innovative features. One of the standout additions is the culinary workbench, where you can whip up culinary delights like grilled chicken legs and enjoy them with a shot of Siberian vodka. Cooking these dishes involves specific recipes, and mastering the art of cooking can grant you stat boosts and gameplay-enhancing modifiers, adding a delicious twist to your survival strategy.
Now, you can also raise chickens and chicks in coops, providing them a home where they can live, lay eggs, and flourish with the right care. Each chick comes with four crucial attributes: Hunger, Thirst, Love, and Sunlight. Ignore any of these, and you'll soon find your feathered friends in peril. Keep in mind that chicken meat has a shelf life and will spoil unless you keep it chilled in a functioning refrigerator. Timers on food items will help you track their expiration dates, ensuring you consume or preserve them in time.
For those with a penchant for sweets, wild beehives can now be spotted on trees. Extracting honeycombs requires finesse and transferring them to player-crafted hives made from wooden boxes. But beware, bees are no pushovers! To avoid their stings, you'll need to don protective suits, drench yourself in water, or resort to using flamethrowers. A new weapon, the Bee Grenade, adds a thrilling twist to combat. This grenade, disguised as a jar of honey, unleashes three swarms of angry bees upon impact, sending opponents scrambling for cover.
The engineering workbench has undergone a complete makeover, now boasting a dedicated tech tree for plumbing and electricity. This opens up opportunities to construct sophisticated automated systems and even full-scale factories. Moreover, developers have introduced premium servers, exclusive to players with a Rust inventory worth at least $15. This initiative is designed to weed out cheaters and disruptive players, fostering a more enjoyable and streamlined experience for committed gamers.
