Mid-Month Update

There’s some huge news afoot on the Rust Devblog and over at PlayRustHQ.com.  Soon, we’ll be seeing new turrets, a whole new cave system, and a massive revamp to gathering crafting components.  Sadly, wolves and bears are still magical ghosts that can walk through stone, but we’re seeing more and more improvements in managing the game’s biggest threats:  Each other! The other news is that we’re (hopefully!) about to see TONS of new skins flooding into the game, as the workshop is opened up and more user skins are able to make their way into the system.

The DevBlog was an especially interesting read; well worth taking a moment if you have some time.
