Rust Tips

Surviving in Rust can be difficult, but keep the following tips in mind to give yourself a fighting chance.

Expect no mercy. If someone sees you on a PvP server, he's going to try to kill you immediately. Plan accordingly.Look for familiar ground. Immediately search out a place where you're comfortable and avoid anywhere crowded. Don't worry about dying at first, or collecting anything that isn't convenient. Your goal is to find a worthy place to build.Build in a hidden location. Don't make it easy for someone else to find your stuff. The harder it will be for someone to stumble across your base, the less likely it is that someone will do so and try to rob your resources.Start with planks. Find some pigs to provide cloth and food, and gather enough wood to build some planks to serve as a foundation. Then you can build a shelter with two walls and two doors, so that you have an alternate exit if someone comes pounding on one of your doors. You want a very compact space, and you can stack a fireplace on top of your box to conserve room.Hide out on the first night. Don't do anything to call attention to yourself, since you're still too weak to do much good. Hopefully, you can make something to keep yourself warm during the chill, so that your food consumption rate drops.Upgrade as soon as you can. On day two, there's a good chance you can upgrade your building with metal doors, if you're able to gather enough metal.Consider your layout carefully. As you keep playing, you should be able to expand your shelter. What started as a 1x1 can grow to a 3x3 and even a 5x5, but you need to consider your layout carefully. You should place your most precious stuff in the middle, and make that room difficult by placing as many metal doors as possible between it and your building's entrance (to give any invaders more fits).
