Surviving In Rustopia: A Preppers Dream Run!
Well Hello There Fellow Gamers And Hivers!
Welcome To Rust!
Well for any wondering this is a fresh start and has absolutely nothing to do with any of my previous Rust gameplay videos. What this means is that, I have a totally new base on a totally different server and it was force wipe as well so that is both a map wipe and a blueprint wipe. So everyone has to start up from the bottom!
I had a good start to the server until I planned on joining a different server and I gave everything away! BUT I've made my mark again! The force wipe happened last Thursday and I managed to jump in on Saturday morning so I didn't lose to much ground.
With that said I am playing on a NO KOS server and most of the players there are PVE players but that isn't of much concern for me since I am planning on running all of the monuments that they added to get that extra-ordinary PVE experience!
Stick with me and I might take you on a nice journey throughout the map over the next couple of weeks and I'll even try to take helicopter every now and then but we will see how that goes!
The Perfect Start!
Needless and needed to say I had the best start I've ever had on this server and I think that might be all because of my base location!
Although not the location as much as the neighbours that I have, see the server shop was set up right next to my base location or rather I set up next to them. Okay it's not the server shop but it's the biggest shop on the server, so that does help when I need that oddity!
The location on the other hand is also brilliant and I didn't even notice it until after I built the base, I am located in between four major monument and the loot I get from them is insane. I already have AK-47 and C4 along with explosives and explosive ammo! That is big enough on its own!
The area is a little cold but that doesn't bother me since I'm open to farm up all those nodes!
This Is The Plan!
To sum it up I want to share some meaning full content of Rust.
The problem is that this will require some sort of planning to say the least but that is fine, I think I need more planning as to when and how to squeeze all of this in over the next month. I'll just have to make it work!
What I want to do is run every monument and write and share a video on just that monument alone, then I can go really deep into depth about each monument and why it's valuable to run said monument.
Since Rust is an ever developing game and I haven't played in almost two years, well a lot has changed over the years and what really caught my attention was the under water world! I am dying to jump into that!
Some Things That Need Doing!
Okay so, this isn't about just jumping in and starting, I've got to get what I need and I'll need a lot so there will be even more going on behind the scenes, etc farming and comps running but most of that will be left out of the recordings. Except for this video though, I made full use of what I had to do, since I was going to run all the way anyways I might as well farm the roads.
The most important things I need is the Loot Room Cards. I will need them all if I plan on doing this right! So I mapped out a little run that I'll be taking and if I manage to get out of each monument alive I would be returning home with all of them!
Oxum's Gas Station!
Well Oxum's isn't the best monument out there, not the best at all but it is one of the higher tier, lower tier monuments because you can grab a Green Key Card from the office. That's not all, for such a fairly low level monument it does so happen to spawn Military Loot Crates!
Might not be the highest level Military Crates but it's a damn good place to start of when looking for weapon comps or tech!
I'm glad I was able to snatch the card, most people don't really hunt for Green Key Cards, I don't do myself because you can find them in many places but for the plays I decided to run it in aswell.
The Green Key Card is also the only one of the bunch where you don't need to figure out some kind of puzzle, you just got to look around a little.
Onto the next!
The Harbour!
Well something that I noticed while writing this post up was the fact that I had no need to be scared of running into players at this monument, just because of it's geographical location. It's behind a mountain and it's somewhat of a bitch to have to run around the mountain, unless you have gear that can protect you a little more from the cold then you can have half of a shortcut, although you'd still be running around it.
That doesn't matter now, I had to focus on getting that Blue Key Card and getting the hell out of there! I was stacked quite thickly now and if I lost that, the player gaining it from me will surely want to come rob me at night then! Laughs! 🤣
There Was A Slight Problem Though!
Not that big of a problem but it could have ended up with me not being able to get Blue or Red key card at the end of the process!
Here's the thing, you can get Green Key Card at most places but to run the Green Loot Room you would have to get a fuse and pop it in, otherwise you won't be able to use the door swiper or whatever it is called.
Now for a moment there I thought I wasn't going to get one at all! I really did! I ran all this way and haven't picked up a single one along the road (Which is worrying) but I did manage to find one in the last drum I opened. Literally the last chance I had!
Well, Now I've Got Blue Key Card Aswell!
And Finally Water Treatment Plant!
Well I've managed to make it thus far, but I have to add that if I happen to die here I would have logged straight off, probably wont even have greeted. 🤣 The reason for this is that at this point I was loaded with a lot of valuables and losing them would have made me feel like I've lost too much. Glad I didn't though!
Getting into the fuse room!
I love how Rust manages to hide things in plain sight. That's how most of the ideas with these monuments started out. I would actually not mind being in the room where they discussed the future of this game, might have been something to witness.
Well here we are! At-least the fuse room also has some loot hidden away inside it!
Now the cool thing about Water Treatment Plant is that it's so easy to run! Damn thinking back now I only really started playing this game with PvT.Stoner! One of my gaming buddies and to think how I played this game before I played with him was, well it wasn't fun at all compared. Like if I had to play it like that now it wouldn't be that much fun at all!
Back to Water Treatment Plant so it's the easiest big monument to run! The thing is it has a lot of crates spawning around and it also has three diesel fuels around the monument as well which will come in handy later on in the game!
Compared to other big monuments like Airfield I would much rather run Water Treatment Plant, unless Airfield has a crate spawning at it! Then I would surely run Airfield!
I Got The Red KeyCard And Now I Just Need To Secure It!
If I had any wits in me left I'd say that this was beyond a good run! Beyond!
Well nothing left but to go back to base and sort and store everything! I can simply not wait for the next episode! I am planning on re running The Launch Site which I ran in the very last video of the previous wipe... Although that was a failure, a bigger one than I thought! But now I'm back and I will be clapping that monument hard now!
Remember To Keep On Gaming Like You've Only Got One Life Left!
The Video Is Coming!! Stay Tuned!
It's Here!

I'm sorry you have to start from scratch in the game.
The character protecting himself with metal plates as armor reminds me a little of the armor from Fallout.
Don't run too fast. You might end up tripping! xD
