Devblog 152 is out! Server are updating. Update your clients.

We are early today! Devs just put up the Rust update for the server as well as for the clients. Restart your client to update it on Steam.

Let’s take a look at the devblog.

Spinner Wheels
Place a wheel, paint it and spin it. It stops at a random location on the wheel. Could be fun in times of ‘what to do next’? Rust’s way of ‘I Feel Lucky’ 😉

Pumpkin Spam Fix
You know we have a problem when the second most populous entity on a server is a damn pumpkin. I’ve nipped this in the bud by reducing its max seasons from 7 to 1. It will now behave like all the other plants.

Heavy Plate Armor Radiation Protection
The protection for radiation was way too high. Even better than with the radsuit. This has been changed.

And of course the netting block has been added.

Other Changes
Other notable changes are for instance the supply signals: you can find them (very rarely) in green military crates. You’re looking at about a 2% chance to find one. Also the M249 gunshot has been improved and optimizations on the fps have been done.
