Omg the NPC's are smurtur!!!!

Rust - Loot Table September 14, 2023

The Final phase of the NPC overhaul has been completed! After giving all the NPCs new guns and cloths, and then realeasing them on the monuments and Biomes, I've decided to give them some better intellegence aswell! I have also made some Changes to the Raidable Bases system which includes spawn changes, Difficulties, added new boat bases, and PvP Bases are now actually PvP. I have also started adding in new Packs unlockable from the webshop.

Changes:

  • NPC Changes
    • New AI Pathing and Mesh navigation system, AI will now play better with custom areas
    • Adjusted Skins, guns, HP, and accuracy across all NPCs. Some Monuments are now much harder, while some are easier, it all depends on size and complexity.
    • Depending on Monument and location in biome, NPCs are now worth more, or less, XP. Harder monuments, means more XP, easier, means less.
    • New Spawn system to allow for Parachuting NPCs has been added, keep your eyes on the sky!
  • Raidable Bases Changes
    • PvP Bases now act like PvP areas, Your backpack can drop if you die, same with inventory. They also can be looted, so be sure to partner with someone you trust.
    • Bases now will only spawn on a schedule, they will no longer maintain a set number of bases at any time. This is to encourage purchasing bases.
    • New Boat bases and Underwater bases havebeen added, with very very very different raiding style
  • Raid Protection changes
    • Cost changes have been increased across the board to take into account Ranking ability and stat benifits.
    • 120 hours (5 days) max can be purchased for protection
  • Misc Changes
    • New Packs added to webshop, These unlock kits that are available to use in-game. Basic and Premium version of each kit, Premium version costs in-game currency due to what they give.
    • TugBoats now have turrets, go have some ship battles
    • New resources packs coming to web-store, these are based  on the market price in-game for the given resources and update every 20 minutes.

New PvX, Stock market, Packs

Rust - General Changes September 6, 2023

With the new wipe, I am including a new type of Raid protection system, and new player economy, Which means a new form of play.

PvP and you

Leveling to level 200 gives you the option of "Ranking" up, and going to the next Prestige rank. These ranks give your stats and abilitys a far greater benefit, and requires you to go up 200 levels again with each ranking. There are a total of 13 Ranks in all. While a player is leveling their first couple ranks, They are protected by what is called the "Abandoned Bases" system, which fully protects a players base while online and off, and only falls off when a player has not been online for a set amount of days. This protections depends on if they are registered with discord, or are a VIP. Once it falls off, The base becomes "Abandoned", and each day it will convert to an abandoned base that can be raided, and/or claimed by other players, or reclaimed by the owner if they come  online to do so in time. If none of that happens, it will despawn after 3 conversions (Days).

However, Once a player reaches rank 4, They lose the protection of the Abandoned system, and then must pay for Raid Protection. The cost comes from the players economic balance in-game, So you must make sure you have the money to pay, or you may lose your base. As the player goes up in rank, the Protection Costs more, and protects you less, So be sure that your base is well fortified. (Note: Raiding is still not possible outside of PvP times, and players bases are protected.)

Protection levels are as follows:

Rank\Cost Online Protection(dmg reduced) Offline Protection(dmg reduced) Hourly Cost per auth'd user Hourly Cost per Floor Hourly base Cost Cost per Damage

Rank 1

100 100 100 1 1000 5
Rank 2 90 95 200 5 2000 10
Rank 3 80 90 300 10 3000 15
Rank 4

70

85 400 15 4000 20
Rank 5 60 80 500 20 5000 25
Rank 6 50 75 600 25 6000 30
Rank 7 40 70 700 30 7000 35
Rank 8 30 65 800 35 8000 40
Rank 9 20 60 900 40 9000 45
Rank 10 10 55 1000 45 1000 50

Please note, that these are not file numbers and will be changes as we go to see how they well they work. But i figure by rank 4, a player should have a decent base, and good resource pool.

 

Stock market masters

Players can now play the market! Why stock pile tons of resources, with nothing to use them for? Why not sell them to others, or even sell them to the server for some much needed cash! Force your clan mates to do the farming to keep your giant base going, or use the extra money to buy stuff you need from other players, or get that VIP Access you've been wanting!

Useing the /shop , menu players can now access not only the in-game shop system, but the stock market to sell resources, items, attire, and much more! Dump your unneeded wears and fill up your now empty boxes all over again! You may now also purchase skins using the `/skins shop` menu, these are one time purchases, and prices will change consantly, so you may purchase a skin worth a little one day, and be able to sell it back when its much more expensive! Players may also sell other itesm using buy and sell orders in teh stock market system.

 

Packs and You

Have you ever been running naked in a forest while a wolf is chasing you and some random dude is shooting at you while you run by, and just say to yourself "Man, i wish i had a gun, and some cloths, and maybe some ammo". Well, Dont you worry, Packs are coming to the Web shop! These one time purchases will get you access to different Kits that will give you that little boost when fighting against a horde of zombies, or trying to tame the Spider monument (Spoilers i suppose?)


As always, Any questions, just give Scarecrow (Me) a message. And thing about purchasing some credits in the webshop, any thing purchased helps the server keep going.
