Single player

[Lex Schwarzkopf]

I am interested in this game but reading the many complaints about hackers really put me off. Can this game be played as single player? Is there any point of playing as such? If not, are there any good servers which are hackers free?

[Theefzor]

No (if we exclude that you create own server and play alone), currently no point with singleplayer because of lack of content.

Stay away from official servers, they've most of the cheaters, community servers got addons with anti-cheat and such so there's less cheaters.
(But unlikely hacker free, like any of online games)

the new version of rust, nothing for hackers yet. game coming along nicely

[SAINt]

YES, we need single player for RUST, thats what hackers dont want , They want to kill you , this game is made for hackers lol.

Single player for Rust is not happening. It's an online multiplayer game.

As Theefzor says, you can create your own server and play on it by yourself.


The game is in alpha. Hackers are not the devs' primary concern. Actually making the game is.

[TheInstagrahame]

At the very least, it's nice to know other people are turned off by multiplayer-only. I'd be more likely to actually get this game if there was a single-player mode on the horizon. Other people smell.

Well I play solo and I'm having a great time! Just build smart and be careful etc etc and playing as a single player is totally doable. I stay clear of official servers and play on modded servers with friendly admins and a lower population (not 100's of other players). Many fun hours playing solo :)

Thanks SynthetiK, if there is a way of playing solo then I'll actually buy the game.

Is it possible to make your own local server and play LAN with other players locally?

Please stop encouraging this. The game is already flooded with dead empty servers. THERE IS 100% already a server out there somewhere, with the settings you want/community you like... You just have to ask around, do 5-10 minutes of research (god forbid)

SynthetiK said it best...

Like ANY new place you go into (IRL, or in gaming), get to know the people participating/running the show BEFORE you sink 100 hours of time into it.

If they want closest to single player feel, then they should create own server as you can shut it down when you quit, otherwise there's possibility that someone ruins their work.

Very true, I stand corrected.

[Bigb0k]

Meeting hackers is very rare. Not a single free hack page offers hacks for the game and very few paid vip cheats offer. The AntiCheat is just too strong for them.

I have over 1400 hours of mostly solo time. Put in the effort, unlike the "I want to win now" kids. solo is not hard if you play smart.

So much this. People cutting corners everywhere, then blaming the game for their failures.
