Fixed an issue where Patrol Heli may be able to damage certain traps such as Auto Turrets, Flame Turrets, etc.

We’ve made some changes to Animal AI starting with today’s 5pm reboot. This should allow us to hopefully keep Animals moving the rest of the wipe.

However, if you notice anything strange with animals, please let us know on our Discord in #admin-help.

The wallpaper plugin has received an update that adds a couple new floor skins and also adds the ability to use the command /wallpaperplanner to open the selection window. So, if you don’t have a key bind set for attack3, you can now just use the command. (NOTE): You must have the wallpapertool actively selected before using the command.

In an effort to help a little more with performance, we are going to be testing out some new limits on industrial. For ‘each’ industrial setup (you can have multiple), the new limits will be:

• Crafters: 6
• Storage Adapters: 20
• Hoppers: 6
• Combiners: 9
• Splitters: 9
• Conveyors: 14

Again, this is for each complete setup, so anything that is connected together at some point with a pipe. You can still have more than 20 storage adapters for example, as long as they are not attached to the same system. If you are already over these limits on a current setup, it will still continue to run. But you won’t be able to add anymore of said items to that setup.

We will be testing this out for a couple of days and will re-evaluate at that point.

A couple of new items this month. The new oil filter silencer and soda can silencer are craftable items. The old silencer (military silencer) is available in the shop and is no longer craftable. The new blue industrial lights are also available in the shop.

A big change has to do with wallpaper. New Ceiling and floor wallpapers are available. With this change, FP decided to create the new wallpaper tool. As such, wallpaper is no longer skinable via skinbox. HOWEVER! We have purchased a new pluigin that will allow you to use all the wallpapers! Users who have purchased wallpaper packs from the Rust store can just use right mouse button to access those.

To use the plugin and access all the wallpapers:

• Craft the wallpaper tool
• Select the wallpaper tool from your hotbar as you would the wire tool
• Look at the type of object you want to wallpaper (wall, ceiling, floor…they are different!)
• Press your attack3 button (by default, this is mouse2 aka your center scroll wheel on your mouse)
• Select the wallpaper you wish to use from the menu
• Deploy wallpaper as normal

As noted above: Walls, ceilings, and floors have different wallpapers for each. So to select a ceiling wallpaper, you must be looking at a ceiling. To select a floor wallpaper, you must be looking at a floor.

If you have mapped mouse2 (scroll wheel) to another command, you can map it back with bind mouse2 +attack3 in F1 console. You can also map another key by replacing mouse2 with the key you want to use. Example: bind z +attack3 or bind space +attack3.

NOTE: As of June 14 2025, you can also now use /wallpaperplanner to access the selection menu.

There are other updates/changes as well, for more info, see the release notes from FacePunch.

The limits for /home and /outpost have been increased to 80 and 60 a day (doubled) respectively. Don’t forget, you can also use /tpb to go back to your last location after using /home or /outpost. /tpb does not count towards the limits.

This change will become active at the 5:00am reboot on Tuesday the 20th.

Starting at the 5am reboot on May 14th, players not aligned with the person raiding an abandoned base should be ejected from the dome if they try to enter the base. They can still enter the dome, but should not be able to enter the base or loot any items.

As always, please report any issues you see on our Discord in #admin-help

On May 12th, we moved to a new server location back in Dallas. The goal with this move is to hopefully get more reliable hardware than we had in New York.

Some other changes going forward:

• Daily reboots are back to 5am and 5pm US Eastern Time.
• Extended reboots on the 14th and 27th will take place at 7am.

• The new meats (Crocodile, Big Cat, Snake) should be cooking faster now.
• Convoy has been temporarily disabled due to a possible issue while we and the plugin author investigate.

An issue that was blocking the Attack Heli from damaging NPCs with rockets has been fixed.
