What does The Rust add?
Claro! Aqui está o resumo do seu mod, The Rust, traduzido e formatado para o inglês.
💥 The Rust: The Ultimate Survival and Raiding Mod 💥
The Rust is a mod that transforms your survival experience by adding deep layers of security, strategy, and controlled destruction, inspired by popular survival games. Get ready to build impenetrable fortresses and participate in intense raids with clear rules.
🛡️ Security and Ownership (Anti-Griefing)
Our main mission is to ensure your effort is respected.
- Exclusive Block Ownership: Blocks you place are exclusively yours. Other players CANNOT break them with tools or by hand.
- Raid is the Only Way: The only way for third parties to remove your constructions is via explosives (C4 or TNT), focusing gameplay on the raiding aspect.
- Restricted Block Removal: You can only collect (remove/relocate) your blocks if they have 100% durability remaining, preventing quick "scooping" during an attack.
🛠️ Post-Raid and Maintenance
Damaged construction doesn't mean total loss!
- Block Restoration System: After an attack, use the specific restoration item for the damaged block type and RIGHT-CLICK on the block to repair it completely, saving you time and resources.
- Durability View: Hold the ALT key and LEFT-CLICK on a damaged block to see its exact remaining durability (displayed on your experience bar).
💣 Raiding, Crafting, and Rewards
We've prepared tools for attack, defense, and progression!
- Essential Survival Crafting: Don't rely on creative mode! It's now possible to craft essential high-tier items, such as C4 and Reinforced Walls, directly in Survival Mode.
- Spawnable Airdrop System: Spawn an airdrop that drops valuable random items, adding an element of luck and resource competition.
- Enhanced Visual Damage Feedback: Damaged blocks now emit particles to give a clear visual warning that their integrity has been compromised.
- C4 Bounding Box Adjustment: The C4's hitbox has been adjusted for better accuracy and placement during raids.
⏳ RaidTime System (Under Review)
- The RaidTime system (which allows you to set specific hours for raiding, with a protection warning outside those times) was recently introduced with customization options but is temporarily disabled for full refinement and development, ensuring it returns 100% functional.
The Rust offers a fairer, more strategic survival experience focused on high-risk, high-reward action.
