Rust World Update changes for October 2024 explored

A popular Rust source, cipeaX, and SHADOWFRAX, in their recent posts, has showcased the numerous changes and additions that have been crafted for the October update. Items showcased, though subject to change, for the most part, are confirmed for release since they've been officially brought into display and used within Rust's staging branch.

Let's take a deeper dive into all the new additions coming with the new force wipe:

A Radtown Monument has been in development for the past few months. The developers at Facepunch had teased this POI previously. From the latest information soured from cipeaX, we believe that the Monument is now in a playable state within the game's staging branch. Radtown is a revamped and improvised monument model from the title's legacy version. Naturally, we believe it will feature easter eggs commemorating its evolution and development since 2013.

Rock Formations

The latest news from cipeaX also indicates that numerous new rock formations will be incorporated within the game with the October update. The changes to procedural map formation will also bring forth interesting rock formations within the game, providing players an opportunity to devise creative bases in and around the formations.

The old "God Rock" and "Anvil Rock" are also reportedly making a comeback, according to the official Facepunch Discord server. These rocks were notoriously known for being the perfect base locations to create enormous and overpowered towering structures in the game.

Water Well NPC

The newest Rust World Update changes will incorporate NPCs in Water Well POIs. Previously, these POIs were nothing but a cosmetic addition. However, as per the latest staging branch information, these areas will host a range of NPCs in the game who will offer unique items for trade, such as farming equipment, teas, primitive weapons, and more.

Furthermore, players will also find unique food crates in this area which will be capable of spawning teas and high-caloric foods.

Diving sites

As per the reports from the staging branch, the upcoming Rust World Update will also add three new diving sites to the game. The ocean floor and the water mechanics will be reworked once again.

The images and videos showcased by the source indicate that the level of detailing within the ocean floor has been enhanced immensely. Crabs, starfish, and other ocean fauna have been added to improve the visual appeal of taking over dive sites in Rust.

As showcased by cipeaX, and SHADOWFRAX, the latest update will bring massive changes to the procedural map generation. The game will see the implementation of new biomes, oases, lakes, intricate river systems, and much more.
