Now, Facepunch is looking to its Monuments, adding two brand new ones: The Apartment Complex, which lets you rent rooms when getting started with a wipe, and Rentable Shops to sell items to other players.<\/p>\n<p>A brand new Clan system is also arriving in Rust, proving that common ground can be found anywhere &#8211; well, as long as you manage it at the new Clan Tables. But that&#8217;s not all, as progression changes to the survival game&#8217;s Softcore mode also show up, with adjustments to when raids can actually take place, too.<\/p>\n<p>The Apartment Complex lets you rent rooms that offer their own perks, all the way from basements up to penthouses. You&#8217;ll also be able to find a master key if you&#8217;re feeling particularly light-fingered, whether you&#8217;re looking to steal from a room or at the second Monument. On the other side of the fence, if you&#8217;re feeling business savvy, Rentable Shops let you set up and modify what&#8217;s in stock, and you can even show off your personal style by changing up what appears on the shop&#8217;s sign.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Softcore fans get a way to earn resources a bit faster, as a 2x multiplier has been added for animals, food, ore, and wood. And if you&#8217;re someone who dreads raiding getting in the way of your decorating, you can now set aside plenty of time for creating a cozy space before setting out on a raid between 6 and 9pm on your server&#8217;s local time. Just make sure you&#8217;re inside a Tool Cupboard&#8217;s radius.<\/p>\n<p>According to Facepunch&#8217;s patch notes, &#8220;Clans are a more advanced version of teams where you can have more members with different roles\/permissions. There is a separate clan chat channel and announcement\/MoTD text for communicating with clan members.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While the system is unavailable in hardcore mode (because you lot definitely don&#8217;t want to make anything easier for yourselves), you&#8217;re otherwise able to set these up and manage them at Clan Tables, and it&#8217;ll give you functionality like seeing your members&#8217; locations if they&#8217;re nearby when looking at a map.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, you&#8217;ll find updated player animations when sprinting with a rifle or with one handed melee weapons, alongside 27 wallpapers to use within your base. The update also comes alongside plenty of improvements and fixes to dive into.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Rust Common Ground update is live now.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The July update for Rust, &#8216;Common Ground&#8217; is finally here, bringing with it a set of patch notes and a huge amount of new features.
