Rust, the beloved multiplayer survival game, has just released a significant update known as The Crafting Update. This patch is designed to enrich players' creative experiences with a slew of new features. One of the standout additions is the culinary workbench, enabling survivors to indulge in gourmet experiences such as grilling chicken legs and enjoying them with Siberian vodka. Cooking these dishes requires specific recipes, and well-prepared meals grant stat boosts and gameplay modifiers, enhancing your survival journey.
The update also introduces chicken coops, where players can raise chickens and chicks. These feathered friends require careful attention to their four key needs: Hunger, Thirst, Love, and Sunlight. Failing to meet these needs will lead to their unfortunate demise. Chicken meat, once obtained, will spoil over time unless preserved in a working refrigerator. Conveniently, food items now display timers indicating 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 and transferring them to player-crafted hives, made from wooden boxes, is a delicate process. Bees are a force to be reckoned with, so players must equip protective suits, drench themselves in water, or resort to flamethrowers to avoid painful stings. The update also introduces a unique weapon, the Bee Grenade, which looks like a jar of honey but shatters to release three swarms of aggressive bees, causing players to scatter in panic.
The engineering workbench has undergone a complete overhaul, now boasting a dedicated tech tree for plumbing and electricity. This upgrade empowers players to construct automated systems and even entire factories, pushing the boundaries of creativity and survival strategy. In a bid to enhance the gaming experience, the developers have introduced premium servers, accessible only to players whose Rust inventory exceeds a value of $15. This initiative aims to weed out cheaters and disruptive elements, ensuring a more enjoyable and seamless experience for dedicated Rust enthusiasts.
