The survival game Rust gets another update on December 1st. This will mainly revolve around the so-called Quality-of-Life. In this article, we will tell you about all the content of the upcoming update known so far.
Here’s what it’s all about: Last week, the Rust community was asked by the development team what changes and innovations they would like to see in the game. Most of the wishes apparently revolved around quality-of-life improvements. Therefore, in the upcoming update on December 1st, 2022, you can expect many changes that will make life in Rust easier!

This is the Content of the December Update in Rust
Overall, a lot has changed for the Events in Rust. After the update, there will only be one underwater laboratory, the oil platform timers will be increased, and the cargo ship events will be reduced. For the Raids, armored doors and double doors will have 200 more hit points, and the despawn timer of many items will be increased to 60 minutes. After Rust’s update, it will also be possible to attach a combination lock to your car, which means that a key does not always have to be carried to the vehicle.

- Despawn time of many items upped to 60 minutes
- Fixed ability to hit wall in weakspot when a floor or stairs is in the way
- Prevent hitting weakspot of the exposed side of a wall when a roof is attached to it (regressed when fixing wall weakspot being blocked by floors)
General QoL (Quality-of-Life)
- External walls and gates can now be rotated 90° instead of 180° before deployment
- WIP replacing modular car key locks with code locks
- Removed condition from most electrical entities so they stack easily when picked up (doesn’t apply to batteries, solar panels, windmills, turrets, etc)
- Garage door no longer requires a hammer to be equipped to be picked up, still requires building auth and lock removed – In line with other doors
- Rowboat now dismounts the player if it’s inverted, even if not clipping into anything. Don’t allow initially mounting a boat if it’s flipped
- Allow rotation of roofs blocks before placement
- Keep authorize UI open when authorizing players on a turret
- Changed building blocked message to tell the player when they are trying to build on a building they don’t own the TC on
- Added new wire colors (light blue, orange, pink, purple, white)
- Added ability to recolor existing wires in world by pressing “R” on input / output of wire, will apply selected color
- Can right click armor into locker and have it go to first free row (will not go into a row if it conflicts with other armor in the row)
- Show “X days” of upkeep after 72 hours (rather than > 72 hrs)
- Add radial option to Harvest/Clone/Clear all plants in a planter. Will apply that action to all valid plants in the planter eg, if 2 out of 9 plants are harvestable using Harvest All will only affect those 2 plants. The option will only appear if at least one other plant in the planter is at the same stage as the plant being looked at
- Add a different, slightly darker material to the Hemp ripe stage so it looks different to Fruiting
