this past week in Rust development was hack week where the face punch developers get to learn new things and work on stuff that they would like to see in the game The Hoppers are on the ox 2 staging Branch along with the triangle Planters and a few of the most popular hack week projects include a doorbell new gestures and draw Bridges the hopper is a new industrial item that will suck up body bags corpses loot from backpacks and items dropped on the ground near it currently the hopper is a tier one item requires one power
to run and costs 100 metal fragments to craft it has an industrial input an industrial output and then one power source in the back and pretty much anything that a player can loot will get sucked up by the hopper including the resources that you would get by harvesting a corpse so if you're an avid skull collector this is going to be one of your new best friends the hopper will automatically initiate if you start pumping resources out of it and there's items on the ground next to it that couldn't fit in the box so far
the only three containers that I found the hopper to work on is the large box horizontal barrel and vertical Barrel a new command was also added called debug. drop World item followed by a number in the short name of the item that you would like to spawn in your world if you're an admin be careful when using this though because you can easily crash your server the triangle planter box was also merged to the ox 2 staging branch and is a tier one item you can find it beneath the large planter box in the tier
one workbench and if you learn a large planter box in the research table it will also automatically unlock the triangle planter box for you and the triangle planter box variant is being applied to the DLC version of it with the frontier pack the triangle planter snaps in the same way that the square ones do making for easy placement and allowing for more unique and creative farm-based builds to grow and harvest all of your wonderful Green Berry Farms these Planters also hold four seeds meaning that two triangles which is equivalent to a square has one less
slot than the normal nine the new workbench for cooking is getting modeled and textured and a recipe book was being worked on this past hack week which would be a new button in your inventory to see all the recipes from the mixing table and the new food workbench coming I think there's a pretty strong chance we might see this in the cooking update chickens that are kept in the new Coupe that's coming will lay eggs based on their happiness level now and chickens roaming around in the world will have a chance to drop eggs if
a player is nearby meaning that you have a chance to find eggs out in the wild but they will have a pretty fast despawn rate and when kept in the CPE they will sleep at night which I think means they won't produce eggs and there was also two commands added for admins for testing when kept in the C these chickens will have to eat and drink if they're below 50% happiness they will slowly start to take damage and they will have a panel that you can look at to keep track of all their stats when
you open the F1 console and start running commands through it it has a memory and you can use the arrow up key to cycle through previously used commands and this will now persist throughout server restarts and reconnections another addition when running commands is the visualization of what is a client side command which applies only to the player running it and a server side command which applies to all players on the server and if you hold alt while clicking on an item to give it to yourself it will tell you the short name over in the
console which makes it very useful to find out what the short name is for a specific item orchids sunflowers and Roses have been turned into collectible items with World models in a spawn population as well as being given seeds for you to plant The Ripe stages of these flowers have been doubled in comparison to other plants and a new command was added as well as a new radial menu option to disable the growable UI so that you can look at your plants without having a big box on your screen there's also a vase item that
was added which is a new Deployable item that you can put your flowers in to decorate your base and it looks like this started off as a hack we project but was merged into the cooking Branch so this is probably something that we're going to see in the cooking update the flying range on drones has been increased to 600 M with a maximum range of 750 before you lose control of it and the HP has been increase to 200 meaning that you won't bump into something and accidentally destroy your drone and there was a hack
we project adding an inventory to the Drone allowing you to equip grenades into it and drop it from the Drone which would be a very cool thing to see added to the game another interesting hack we project was the creation of a bird house which could potentially be used to harvest feathers from birds in the future other use cases for the floor frame were being explored with a floor netting item and a doorbell with the camera was added for me so I can come smash it with a rock and scream at you to open the
nor but seriously this would be a really cool item to have added to rust especially if it has a camera inside of it that you can access through a computer station open the door please I am I'm just here to talk all right I do not on my back what's that is not a weapon all right have you heard about our Lord and savior a hand card which which would be interesting to see as a replacement for locomotives in the new primitive game mode was being worked on this hack we in case you're unfamiliar it's
basically a board with wheels on it and a lever and one to two players push it so potentially one player would be slower than two players and a procedural rendering option for grass blades was being messed around with which if kept as an option that players could disable or enable would be an interesting way for you to be able to spice up the way your world looks there were four new gestures that were being worked on for a hack we project and there's a pretty strong chance that these would be released as a DLC in
the future the peace sign the love heart the camera frame and the chef's kiss and by far the most popular hack week project that was posted on Twitter is the retractable drawbridge which was inspired by an 8-year old surge video this is an item that's been requested by players for a very long time has many use cases and would be one of the most interesting door Concepts added to the game the visuals for bees and beehives are getting set up in a hack we project for swarms associated with them was being worked on it looks
like this is going to be something that we will see a few notable things about these swarms is that they will stay away from fire sources and you can splash water on yourself to get them to go away and honeycomb harvested from bees can be turned into jars of Honey by cooking them in a furnace which you will be able to sell at Bandit Camp an idea for Deployable bunk beds was explored along with a black board for you to write up your calculations on how you're going to go about raiding your next Target and
this is what I imagine Mr Pikachu's room looks like as he's writing up these commits for the the server profile memory thing that he was working on this past hack week and this guy is not impressing anybody's stream everybody knows that he is using a cal these numbers are way too big for him there's no way that he's doing this math in his head but if you're aware of all the problems with trying to get 100% comfort with a bear rug which by the way that's a really nice skin you should go get that you've
only got like a couple more hours left to get that tiger rug skin it's real nice then hopefully this investigation will figure out and fix the cause of the problem with bare rug Comfort decoy grenades and sticky bombs were worked on as Concepts as well and these would be very fun to drop out of drones and would create new meta PVP tactical scenarios a mtable tire and pogo stick were two other Concepts imagine pulling up to the raid on one of these bad boys while your teammate is just barreling down the hill spinning in a
wheel that'd be crazy and if you're a server owner or a plug-in developer you should keep a close eye on this one to see if it actually makes its way into the game because it is a ton of things that have been added for plug-in developers and server owners to customize their servers with so many things that I don't have enough time to cover it in this video so you should go check out that Branch for yourself another interesting project concept was directional item dropping meaning that they'll come out of your inventory in the way
that you drag them and something associated with the way World models appear I think some more things have been set up to make it easier for the developers to find and fix bugs and this heck we project for naming electrical branches is something that should absolutely make its way into the game Not only would it be a timesaver while creating a circuit it would make it much easier to restore a broken one after a raid and finally there's some exploration going on for overgrowth in monuments that spawn in the new jungle biome similarly to how
monuments look in the snow biome versus the temperate biome that each have their own distinct variations this is the final day that you'll have to claim my tiger skin rug over at the twitch drops website I'll have the link in the description if you haven't heard about this yet and if you're unfamiliar with how twitch drops work mine is a general drop which requires 3 hours of watch time on any streamer in the rust category that has drops enabled there is an FAQ on the website Linked In the description for more information
