Wallpaper Damage

We are testing a no wallpaper damage plugin. Test on our test server were very promising, so we now have it loaded on live for further testing.

For now, wallpaper shouldn’t take damage. We will be evaluating its performance the rest of the wipe. As always, if you notice any issues, please make a ticket in #admin-help on our Discord.

December ’24 Wipe

First off: Merry Christmas from HNC Rust!

This month, Facepunch added their own car radio item to Rust. This is a craftable item. Since it’s mostly redundant to our old car radio, that plugin has been removed. The plugin did offer more flexibility, but also caused some issues with gameplay. So it was decided to remove the plugin in favor of the inbuilt item.

All plugins have received their updates (if needed) for December. So everything should be good to go!

Of course, please let us know in #admin-help on our Discord if you run into any problems so we can look into them for you.

As always, thanks for being a part of HNC Rust!

Changing Stack Plugin

The plugin we have used for a long time to modify stack sizes has not been updated since the November wipe. This has caused some issues with new items like the Handmade SMG. We have decided to switch to a different stacks plugin and have rolled it out with the 5:00pm reboot. Please let us know on our Discord in #admin-help if you notice any issues with stacks. All stacks should be 500k with the exception of photos and headbags.

Animal AI and Population

We have been tweaking the animal population a bit to see if it will help server side FPS (especially with the new Wolf AI). However, the adjustments didn’t help as much as we had hoped. The new Wolf AI is great, but is a major source of resource drain.

Server FPS is already getting very low just a few days into wipe. So we are going to go ahead and kill off animal AI for now.

Item Retriever Update and Building Workbench

Item Retriever has been updated. This ‘should’ fix the issues with weapons not reloading correct (or any) ammo from the backpack plugin.

Building workbench has been added. We are going to be watching the load it creates and may have to remove it later. But for now, you should be able to access your workbench from anyplace inside your base. NOTE: You must have TC auth to access the workbench this way and you may have to move around some before it detects you correctly.

Convoy Is Back!

Convoy FINALLY received it’s needed update and is back! Our work on it’s config was paused during this time. However, now that the event is back live, we can continue work on fine tuning it. Please let us know if you see anything not working right on our Discord in #admin-help.
