The survival MMO Rust has received a new update. With the new update, you can now generate electricity from renewable sources and consume it again with certain devices.
This is what the new update brings: For its 5th anniversary, Rust received the “Electric Anniversary” update on December 6, 2018. This update brings a number of innovations:
- Electricity generation from wind and solar energy
- Items powered by electricity
- Underwear
The new content enhances the quality of the game and was also necessary for players, especially streamers. Since the Balloon update, Rust has been able to attract a lot of players again.
Electricity and Underwear in Rust
This is how electricity is useful: With the “Electric Anniversary” update, you can generate electricity in Rust using wind turbines and solar panels. You can store and distribute this electricity in small and large batteries.
With the generated and stored electricity, you can power a range of new things. These include:
- Traps and defensive structures
- Doors
- Lights
- Clocks
So with electricity, you can now protect and expand your base more effectively. Defending your home with electrically controlled defenses should be significantly easier.
This is how you use electricity: Once you have built a power source, you need to connect it with cables. You can run cables directly from the power source to a consumer and even pull them through walls.
To distribute electricity properly, you will have some tools at your disposal. With distributors, blockers, switches, and pressure plates, you can direct and distribute electricity.
The entire system is quite extensive. YouTuber Rustafied explains in his video how the new components work.
This is what censorship brings: The other important feature of the new Rust update is underwear. These serve to censor the freely swinging primary sexual organs of male and the pubic regions of female characters.
Rust has been a hot topic for streamers for some time now. Nudity in Rust can only be obscured by pixelation, which can disrupt the game. However, uncensored content could lead to issues with Twitch’s guidelines.
With underwear, you can effectively censor buttocks, breasts, and other zones without distracting from the game. The complete patch notes and content for the “Electric Anniversary” update can be found on Rust’s official website.
This is how the community reacts: The response to the new update is generally positive. Players are enjoying the new electricity and are busy building elaborate constructions and traps. On reddit, special creations are shared and discussed.
The new censorship option seems to bother no one and, if anything, is more well-received. By the way, whether you play as a man or a woman in Rust is not a free choice. Fate determines your gender in Rust.
Rust is among the top survival games recommended by MeinMMO for 2018. Upon its release from early access in January 2018, Rust’s leader stated that the game was still not finished. The continuous updates of late are progressively developing Rust.
