Your first wipe

Gather rates are tripled, so progression is faster than vanilla but still feels like Rust. A small 2x2 with an airlock is the safest first base.

First hour

• Grab stone and wood near your spawn and craft a stone hatchet and pickaxe.
• Build away from big monuments and roads to avoid early raids.
• Recycle components at Outpost or any monument with a recycler for early scrap.
• Use /skin to apply your Steam skins once you have the items (VIP).
