TIME TO KILL

DIGITAL CLOCK

Meet the Digital Clock, a new craftable item, a simple but powerful addition to your base's electrical setup.

When powered, it displays the current server time [olist]

Consumes 1 power

Available at the Tier 2 Workbench

Craftable for 100 Metal Fragments [/olist]

The clock also allows you to set up alarms. When an alarm goes off, the power will pass through, allowing you to trigger any sort of circuit inside your base at specific times.

Whether you want to automate your farms, activate traps, or control lighting systems, you can set up to five alarms simultaneously.

GCO WEAPON ATTACHMENT

A powerful new cutting-edge experimental weapon attachment for those who crave more damage and speed in their shots. The Gas Compression Overdrive attachment boosts projectile damage and velocity, allowing you to hit harder.

However, this extra power comes with trade-offs, a slower fire rate and increased recoil. If you can handle the extra kick, this attachment is maybe for you.

The GCO attachment works on the following weapons: Thompson, SAR, SAP, M92, M39 and the Custom SMG.

WALLPAPERS

This month, we're adding wallpapers, a new way to decorate your base's interior.

Wallpapers can only be applied to the interior side of your walls. Purely visual, they don't provide any additional protection, are easy to remove and won't interfere with the deployment of any other items.

• Default blueprint

• Crafting cost: 10 cloth for 2 pieces of wallpaper

• Includes 'Vintage' default skin in 4 colours - blue, red, green and yellow

Just like other deployable items, wallpapers can be skinned during crafting, in a repair bench or after being deployed using the spray can.

Wallpaper Starter Pack

In addition to the 4 wallpapers skins unlocked by default, you can purchase the Wallpaper Starter Pack which features 22 extra wallpaper skins for styling your base.

Skins included in the wallpaper starter pack, as pictured above:

• Clouds

• Yellow Stripe

• Blue Diamond

• Fleur (3 variants)

• Retro (3 variants)

• Subway (2 variants)

• Geometric (2 variants)

• Polka Dots (3 variants)

• Wainscotting (3 variants)

• Venetian Plaster (3 variants)

The Wallpaper Starter Pack is available for purchase in-game or through the Steam's item store.

COLOURBLIND ACCESSIBILITY

As part of my Hackweek last month, I explored some ways we can make playing Rust more accessible for players that experience different forms of colour blindness. Colour blindness is experienced by up to 8% of men and 0.5% of women, so it likely affects a good portion of our player base.

We’ve tried to identify problematic areas in the game world, as well as in our UI, and then make those colours configurable so every player can customise the look of their game to meet their needs. Since colour blindness comes in many forms, we’ve exposed each option individually as well as some presets that we think will help for more common forms of the condition.

We’ve exposed the following options:

• Tree marker colours

• Health Bar colour

• Hunger Bar colour

• Hydration Bar colour

• Team Name tag colour

• Enemy Name tag colour

• Ally Name tag colour (eg. marked friendly in the contacts system)

• Monument blocked colour (the new radius that appears when building close to a monument)

• Mushroom colour

We also adjusted the contrast of the icons in the Hunger/Health/Hydration bar to make them stand out a bit more when in snowy/very
