We added new areas like the Scientist Compound and the Bandit Town[rust.facepunch.com] plus of course, Monuments like the Oil Rig[rust.facepunch.com]. We put electricity[rust.facepunch.com] in the game. In the last few months we introduced Killer Mummies at Halloween, the most epic trees you’ve ever seen and (soon) we’ve got our first ever DLC with musical instruments like the Wheelbarrow Piano and Canbourine. Also, Rust looks and plays a hell of a lot better than in Legacy days, so there’s that.

Thanks - We'll be addressing this shortly.

Awesome. I hope this does not affect pc though.

It'll have no impact on the PC version. We currently have more staff working on Rust PC now than at any point in the past.

Can you give us anything to hype it up? What engine will it run on? How far along are you done with it, can we ask for some information on how it will run, server sizes and if we can host them? SO many questions!

We'll be releasing more information in the coming months.

Hype!
