Hello all,
I'll keep an updated list over planned and completed changes for the Rust server here.

Underline: Guaranteed to be done when wipe hits. Certain items might require some time on the new map to set up.
Wipe 01.03.2018, the blueprint experiment

• Expanded default blueprints to make blueprint wipe a bit easier.


• In-Game shop for blueprints and decorations. Currency will be gained from NPCs. (Looking into adding to barrels too).
  The thought behind this is to make the grind less RNG heavy. Really want those shiny work boots? You can now aim for the currency to buy them instead of hoping for RNG to be on your side.


• • Tier 1 and decorations opens on day one
  • Tier 2 opens one week later with higher tier blueprints
  • Tier 3 opens last with rare items and end-game gear.


• More varied NPCs. Details to come.


• • Weaker scientists spawn next to road loot.
  • Special npcs spawn during night



• Map will be set to HapisIsland. Lots of new monuments to explore. We'll go back to random seed next wipe, unless people really want to keep this.



• Stack size changes, as requested by many


• • Stack Size for Metal Fragments (metal.fragments) to 1500.
  
  
  • Stack Size for Metal Ore (metal.ore) to 1500.
  • Stack Size for Stones (stones) to 1500
  • Stack Size for Wood (wood) to 1500.
  • Stack Size for High Quality Metal (metal.refined) to 150.
  • Stack Size for High Quality Metal Ore (hq.metal.ore) to 1500.
  
  

Note: Last minute changes will happen if problems occur.


A little note about last nights short outage:

QuoteThere was an issue observed further upstream with our primary carrier at this time which resulted in higher latency / packet loss.
We have switched some routing and planned for further capacity into our Docklands location via THN2.
