@raulssorban @Protox0 Nice! I definitely missed that one come through. I'm resting a little easier now, thanks!

@Neighigh @Protox0 This is already a thing, unsure when initially introduced.

Apparently #Rust maps can break when you cancel connecting to a server while it is downloading a map. @raulssorban is working on a fix for his hackweek project, a couple of videos on the commit page -> commits.facepunch.com/r/rust_reboot/…

@Lukester07 This is the sort of place it's good to talk about split crafting. Why not both recipes? Make it in a mixing table with the honey?

Thoughts on the crafting costs? Should it cost a bandage to craft or just cloth, cant decide.

@TheRooster Yup NFS games are super common for this one too, looks really good when you put the effort in for cutscenes.

Characters look real, because they are. ❌ 3D modeling ✅ Filming This indie dev: - recorded professional actors - color graded the raw videos - imported them into the engine - sliced them into separate animations 100% Full Motion Video (FMV) I reached out to the dev, and he gave me some behind-the-scenes footage you can see below. Such a smart way to get photorealistic graphics without melting your GPU. Basically a modern version of the trick that was used in the classic Mortal Kombat. I think we'll see this tech in more indie games soon.

@Protox0 @TheNotoriousRIN Washed up deployable debris is a nice touch!

Flotsam Door for hackweek from @TheNotoriousRIN #Rust

@Protox0 Actually I'd wager safe zone recyclers will always be active, those monuments should always have power in my mind. I hope the intent is to make powerplant more central to server events. Like the upcoming satellite stuff.

@Neighigh might be just at power plant for now?

@Protox0 Love the idea of a serverwide effort to make recycling cheaper. Really good stuff.

@Protox0 Yeah right now its just exposing the option. That tells us there will be some reliant on the power grid and some that aren't. Guessing thats because if powerplant isnt on the map we cannot use the grid.

@Protox0 Check out Sputnik by Adem. I have a feeling we're going to see a much more polished version similar to it. Lots of potential, wonder if it would be combined with a new monument for triggering.

Watching the Peanut #Rust stuff and I think well designed end of wipe server events for vanilla could work well. Events could start slow, maybe days before the end and ramp up into something big in the final day. We already have crashed satellite mentioned, is that an end event?

@jadel4w Only acceptable time this can be true is if that person is avoiding responsibilities for the sake of their entertainment. I think women see that in men most of all, but it's not a gender specific issue, women get caught up and addicted to games too.

Wrong. Not all women feel this way. Most women who play games definitely don’t feel this way. If it brings people joy and isn’t harming anyone, what’s the problem?

I hope he got a nucleus for this at least!

@Protox0 @Alistair_McF 👏 👏👏

Interesting read from @Alistair_McF in response to a reddit thread asking to delay progression. #Rust reddit.com/r/playrust/com…

@ArtOfPilgrim Raycast from attack point, spawn various low poly blobbies between landed points while attack is being held. Add scale over time with a shader that animates a repeating normal and displacement and you've got something that looks like its morphing and growing a bit.

a lot of people have mentioned Prey as the example - but its sort of not the same thing. It's quite clear in prey its just a small mesh scaling. But what if mechanically, it worked the same as the example in the video? You spray an area and then it grows from that mask?

Hey game devs, how do you think you would achieve this growth effect in game? (Let's just pretend there's a scenario in which you needed this exact effect 😅)

@TeaGuyTom @theburntpeanut Sounds like a party!

I'd like to address the drama on @theburntpeanut's server. The Tea economy is completely broken. 18 god damn tea farms on one server? There should be daily online raid defenses in every farm. Blood in blood out type shit. I'm sorry. It's been fun, but somebody had to say it.

@Protox0 Map based IO ports are sick, lots of potential there. Can have build locations with built in lighting and other amenities. The new apartments would be really cool if people had to work together to provide it power.

New Fuse like item that feeds power into a global powergrid? New I/O access point from a monument? #Rust

@Protox0 @FacePunch Oo I dont have the ninja suit! But then I also really like the exclusives like this. They feel SUPER special. We lose that if others can get them again. Torn~

Should @facepunch just sell "limited" drops as DLC for a big sum and donate part of the proceeds? (or a similar variations, blue frog boots, red hobo barrel, dark navy ninja suit, etc) I always see people requesting these. Which one would you choose, if you don't have them? #Rust

@PasanenJenni @Pirat_Nation Most AAA studios already have proc gen tools and huge libraries of that stuff already. It would currently be used for other aspects like tool and software generation or staging concepts inside their house builds. Devs are highly capable of articulating this into real pipelines.

@Pirat_Nation If there's option to generate 385 different grass textures in same shade of your reference to make world look more varied, why would you skip that option? No photographer eagerly wait for mission "Oh boy I can take pictures of grass I can't even use in my portfolio, yippii"

Tom Henderson, has confirmed Bloomberg’s reporting on the heavy use of generative AI across major game studios. He stated that “everyone’s doing it,” specifically naming Capcom, Ubisoft, and others. Studios are quietly adopting GenAI tools for tasks like coding, generating small assets (such as rocks, grass, or environmental details), and speeding up production. Most keep it undisclosed to avoid player backlash over concerns about creativity, quality, and job losses. Capcom uses AI to brainstorm ideas for minor elements so artists can focus on heroes, enemies, and key content.

@Protox0 @fynerain LETS GOOOOO!!!!

This is cool you can sell specific skins in vending machine! It's now working for the most part. Nice addition @fynerain

@Protox0 Comooooon skin display!! Lets go we can do this! PLEASE!! <3

Quick look at New Vending Machine UI on Staging Branch [WIP], so far easier to reorder listings and you can drag and drop to make new orders. Would be nice if you could change broadcasting from within the new UI. #Rust

@Protox0 Fixing the cargoship item clipping must have been really challenging!! Great work!

Hotfix #7 was released for April earlier today #Rust
