Rejoice, Rustians! \u00a0It\u2019s update day, and we\u2019re seeing a whole host of great new additions.<\/p>\n
First of all, and of monumental excitement to me: \u00a0Skins are (supposed to be) coming back! \u00a0In addition, we\u2019re seeing the very early phases of the game made far easier, with tweaks to recipes, crafting times, and the ability to find low grade fuel in oil barrels! Several weapons have had their crafting times cut in HALF\u00a0<\/em>to include: Assault Rifles, Bolt-Action Rifles, Semi-Automatic Rifles & Pistols, Thompsons, and Custom SMG\u2019s. Arrows now take 25% of the time they did before, and we\u2019ll also be seeing the craft time for bear traps and turrets reduced significantly!<\/p>\n It\u2019s not just time we\u2019ll be saving, though\u2013Double Barrel Shotg The biggest change comes with the continued work to the farming system: Watering your plants now not only expedites their growth, but dramatically increases the yield of those items. If you\u2019re watering your crops, you can see up to 40 cloth per hemp plant, 3 pumpkins per vine, and 6 corn per stalk! Couple that with last week\u2019s clippings system and genetic families, and you can find yourselves producing MASSIVE amounts of food, even in a cave, with very little effort. \u00a0What a marvelous modern time we live in!<\/p>\n There are a number of smaller changes, all discussed in greater detail over at rustafied.com, but this looks like it\u2019s going to be another very positive update.<\/p>\n Each day, I\u2019ve been restoring about 50% of destroyed mines and turret As of last night\u2019s survey, about 60% of the defenses have been destroyed, 40% of the prize loot has been taken, and around 80% of the buildings have been entered\/raided. Several little tricks and secrets are still in place, and the main loot room is untouched.<\/p>\n To date, the Fort appears to have claimed 62 lives, with 34 turret kills, and 28 landmine kills. Animal and cold related deaths that happened on the island are not tracked.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve included a poll on the forum where you can share your feedback and vote for future non-player raids at this link.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rejoice, Rustians! \u00a0It\u2019s update day, and we\u2019re seeing a whole host of great new additions.

\nuns, Mines, Metal Barricades, and Bone Knives all got cheaper this update. How much cheaper is still a little bit up in the air for some of these items, but we know that they\u2019re cutting down the component cost on a lot of items, including the complete removal of components from Landmines, less blades for Barricades, no springs for grenades, and so on!<\/p>\nFort Williams Update:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

ammunition and around 10% of taken loot. With today marking the half-way point through the wipe cycle, restorations cease\u2013but there will be slow, steady upgrade starting at the fabled Armory treasure room, and spreading outward through the fortress.<\/p>\n
