Rust Unveils Major Update with Improved Cooking and Farming

Rust, the beloved multiplayer survival game, has just unleashed a major update known as The Crafting Update, revolutionizing the way players interact with their environment and resources. This update introduces a plethora of new features that expand creative possibilities within the game. One of the standout additions is the culinary workbench, where players can now cook up a storm, grilling chicken legs and washing them down with Siberian vodka. To whip up these culinary delights, specific recipes must be followed, and well-prepared meals will grant stat boosts and gameplay modifiers, giving players an edge in their survival journey.

The update also brings the joy of poultry farming to Rust, with the introduction of chicken coops. These coops serve as homes for chickens and chicks, where they will lay eggs and flourish if given the right care. Each chick has four essential attributes to monitor: Hunger, Thirst, Love, and Sunlight. Failing to meet these needs will lead to the unfortunate demise of the birds. Chicken meat, a valuable resource, will spoil over time, becoming unusable unless stored in a working refrigerator. Conveniently, food items now come with timers to alert players of their expiration dates.

For those with a sweet tooth, the wilderness now hides wild beehives nestled in trees. Players can extract honeycombs and relocate them to their own hives made from wooden boxes. However, handling bees is not for the faint-hearted; players must don protective suits, use water as a deterrent, or resort to flamethrowers to avoid painful stings. A new addition to the arsenal, the Bee Grenade, looks like a jar of honey but shatters to unleash three swarms of aggressive bees, sending enemies scrambling 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 sophisticated automated systems and even entire factories, enhancing their base-building experience. Additionally, the developers have introduced premium servers, exclusive to players with a Rust inventory worth at least $15. This initiative aims to create a more enjoyable environment by filtering out cheaters and disruptive individuals, ensuring a smoother gameplay experience for dedicated fans.
