Raid warning - when a bot raider heads for your base with explosives, its owners and door guests get a private RAID alert in chat with an alarm

Door alerts - owners are told when a door of their base is destroyed, and by which bot

New base protection - a new player base can't be raided by bots for its first 3 hours of play; the timer only runs while an owner or a guest is online, and the chat says when it ends

Chat mentions - @name pings that player and highlights the line

Chat emojis - emoticons and :codes: turn into emojis

Server browser - servers show their AI survivors apart from players

Bot numbers - each bot has a number in the BOTS list, the detail panel and its beacon, and the search finds it

Survivor economy - AI survivors now live like players: they carry a real inventory, gather ore rocks and wood with real tools that wear out, loot crates, sacks, corpses and airdrops, craft with real blueprints and durations (at their own workbench when the recipe needs one), and drop their real gear when they die

Survivor careers - each survivor follows a career ladder (tools, weapon, ammo, armor, a base, explosive charges) and picks its next goal from what it needs

Survivor bases - survivors build a hut with real pieces and real costs, store what they don't need in their own box, fetch what they need, craft at their bench, respawn at their base and walk through their doors; huts differ from one survivor to the next (1 to 3 rooms, wings, towers with stairs, barred windows)

Survivor raids - survivors raid bases with real explosive charges: they break an exterior door first, step back, blast through the opening, loot and go home. Bot bases can be raided any time, player bases only while their owner or a door guest is online

Persistent survivors - survivor identities are saved in the world save, so the same survivors come back after a restart; their bodies only exist near players and the rest of the world is simulated cheaply (rl_bot_offline_rate)

Offline pause - when nobody is connected the survivors stop living

Legacy spawns - crates and mutants use the Legacy server spawn points, and wildlife and resource nodes come from the 30 Legacy wildlife spawner pockets

Server settings - rl_mob_scale and rl_wildlife_scale scale the number of mutants and animals

Bots tab - the BOTS tab is rebuilt: list sorted by live distance, detail panel, a world overlay with beacons, LABELS and BEAMS kept per player

Follow - FOLLOW a bot, a player or a sleeper with the camera

Bot AI debug view - see what a survivor is doing and why

rl_play_bots - status of survivors, bases and raids from the console; rl_bot_build and rl_bot_raid to test them

Official servers - Rust Legacy EU #1 and Rust Legacy EU #2 - SANDBOX

Logs - Added server logs when dying, killing a player or a sleeper

Loot sacks from broken storage - when a box, furnace, campfire, workbench or any object holding items is destroyed, whether by damage, decay or the collapse of the foundation or ceiling under it, everything it held falls into a loot sack on the ground below (Legacy simply lost those items)

Hostile survivors - an optional server setting (rl_bots, off by default as Legacy had none) fills the island with armed AI survivors in Legacy outfits; each carries a random Legacy gun (pipe shotgun, revolver, 9mm, shotgun, MP5, bolt action or M4), roams towards buildings, opens fire when it spots you, strafes, chases, retreats when badly hurt and drops a bag with its weapon, ammo and some of its armor

Hostile survivor behaviour - they reload and patch up behind cover, hear gunshots and come to check, see less far at night unless you carry a light and less far when you crouch, and give up a chase when you get far enough away, stay out of sight, drag them too far from their area or nobody lands a hit for a minute

Hostile survivors at rest - when nothing is going on they sometimes stop to chop a tree or mine a rock for a while

Hostile survivor settings - rl_bot_accuracy sets how well they shoot (0 to 1) and rl_bot_respawn how long before a killed one is replaced

BOTS tab - pick FAKE PLAYERS or HOSTILE BOTS at the top: each mode has its own settings and list, no more scrolling; hostile bots can be spawned 1, 3 or 5 at a time with a random or chosen kit, and the island population and their aim are set from there

Original zombies - zombies now use the real Rust Legacy zombie from the December 2013 build: its model, bloody texture, ragdoll and animations (hunched idle, limping walk when roaming, sprint when chasing, two random swipes), a bit taller than a player

Zombie sounds - the original zombie groans, chase calls, alert cries, attack screams, punch impacts and death sounds, heard from up close like in Legacy

Zombie attacks - each swipe takes 1.5 seconds and lands halfway through the animation, so stepping back in time dodges it

Fake players - a new BOTS tab in the admin menu places posed survivors for videos and screenshots: pick a name, an outfit (naked to rad suit), an item in hand (rocks, tools, a lit torch, bows and guns) and a pose (standing, crouched, swinging a melee tool, sleeping), then turn, move, heal or remove them; they show a name tag like real players, take damage through their armor and fall as a ragdoll when killed

Main menu - the game now opens on the Legacy main menu (play game, host lobby, options, achievements, exit), in front of the Legacy menu scene: the garage, the burning barrel and the resting bear

Server browser - play game opens the Legacy server browser: servers, lobbies and history tabs, sortable server name / players / ping columns, favourites, pages and join server

Host lobby - start the island on your own computer with a name, a player limit (1 to 64) and a visibility (public, friends, private); friends join from their server browser or through your Steam profile

Dedicated servers - anyone can run a Rust Legacy server that keeps the world going with nobody online; every setting is a console variable (`rl_pvp`, `rl_sleepers`, `rl_decay`, `rl_gather_rate`, `rl_day_length`...)

Server hosting guide - an in-game guide (link at the bottom of the servers tab) covers installing the server, the launch line, settings, admins, the world save and joining

Server admins - server owners list their admins in config/users.json ("admin" claim); admins get the admin menu and the Legacy admin commands (inv.give, teleport.topos, env.time, airdrop.drop...) in their own console

Server commands - `net.connect <id>` joins a server by id, `net.disconnect` goes back to the menu, `rl_save` saves the world now, `rl_max_players` sets the server slots

Time of day - the World tab has a 24 hour slider set to the minute and -1H / -5M / +5M / +1H buttons, instead of 4 fixed times

Timelapse - freeze the clock or run it x10, x60 or x240 (a full day in 15 seconds); back to normal speed when the server restarts; `rl_timescale` in the host console

Camp fire wood - a new camp fire comes with 5 wood, as in Legacy

Achievements - 29 sbox.game achievements (660 points): first craft, first fire, foundations, doors, wolf and bear hunts, headshot kills, supply drops, full kevlar, surviving one hour, and progress goals for wood, ore, hunting, crafting, building and looting

Controller sprint - clicking the left stick toggles sprint, it stops when you stop pushing forward

Controller menus - the d-pad jumps the cursor between cells and buttons, A clicks and drags, B goes back; in the inventory X quick-transfers and Y opens the item menu

Door keypad - code doors show an on-screen keypad when playing with a controller

Graphics options - new graphics section in the pause menu with the Legacy options: render distance, grass, bloom, ambient occlusion and sun shafts, also in the console as in Legacy (render.distance, grass.on, gfx.bloom, gfx.ssao)

Render distance - as in Legacy, rocks beyond the render distance (800 m by default, up to 1600 m) are no longer drawn, and animals follow the same distance

Morning mist - optional, off by default: thicker fog from sunrise until 9 am

Legacy color grading - optional, off by default: darker, olive colors matched on the original 2013 "First Day" trailer

Legacy airdrop schedule - one supply drop per game day at a random time between 10:00 and 14:00, like Legacy's SupplyDropTimer (`rl_airdrop_interval 0`; a positive value keeps a fixed interval in real minutes)

Weapon crate model - weapon crates now use the real Legacy WeaponLootBox model instead of a tinted ammo box

Indoor crates - world crates can spawn on the floors of barns, warehouses and hangars, and never overlap walls

Crate lifetime - untouched crates despawn after a while (`rl_crate_lifetime`), but never while a player is nearby or looting them
