What can we expect from the Rust March update?
The latest Rust update for March 2025 will first wipe all blueprints from every player's inventory across all servers, requiring them to grind for Scrap to research blueprints again. Furthermore, all official and community server maps will be wiped. Grinders must once again choose new locations to establish their bases and dominate over their competition.
The biggest highlight of the upcoming update is the changes that are coming to farming and cooking. Players will be able to cook a plethora of items using in-game food, such as pumpkins, corn, wheat, and more. The refrigerator now serves an important purpose as it preserves food — without one, food items will spoil over time, and eating them will cause sickness.
Lastly, farming will be seeing an overhaul with this update, as mentioned above. Players can now use triangular planter boxes to grow food grains like wheat alongside fruits and vegetables. Additionally, players will be able to raise chickens and make their own coops in the game.
