+-After spending all day building my heli tower, I watched Swamp or someone from his base fight heli from my roof. I knew I had two hours to get my base ready to fight heli, and I did. I built a tower in the middle of the map so I could tag it and teleport back. I had to do this twice, as it didn't follow me the first time. When I finally aggroed heli, I quickly got it burning in flames. It was at this point that Swamp (who had just killed a heli earlier) aggroed my flaming heli towards his base and shot it down instantly, as it was almost dead. Swamp's partner said  in chat that "the loot is yours" (meaning mine). "No shit, I thought." When I got to the crash site, I saw Swamp hovering over the flaming crates, waiting for them to go out. I told him that I did almost all the damage and if he takes anything from the crate, it's stealing. I also, verbally reprimanded him for hogging the heli and aggroing my nearly dead heli when he had just taken it earlier. I told him we need to take turns. Swamp continued the whole time to hover over the crates. When I successfully yanked lot from the first two, he quickly bolted over to the last two. He's really slow, and I got both of them. I have a lot of experience dealing with people trying to loot my shit, so I've gotten fast. I have heli towers on three servers now, as I try to kill it on all nine every wipe. My first attempt at heli on AU Survival would have been very rewarding if these two hadn't stolen it away.

Cool. I have a plan to tax the server owner.

With quarries available now on Scourge, producing large amounts of stone and ore, these large structures are likely a permanent fixture. We have these giant bases on Survival but do not have the lag areas of Scourge. I believe this is because of the much higher number of people playing on those servers and the number of bases packed together. We are spread out on Survival. imo

I would like to be able mail items to other players that are not online. It would be similar to Outlaws of the Old West. 

Seeing as we can now purchase RHIBs, rowboats, mini helis, and scrap helis from the Black Market, it only makes sense to offer 500 low grade fuel. I think the price should also be high, for such a luxury item. Just a thought.

I have over 3,000 hours playing on RustEZ servers, and KombatKen is by far, the most toxic and unfair player I have ever encountered. His interpretation of RustEZ rules were bizarre, and he used the loopholes he imagined were there to constantly attempt to rob multiple players of their heli loot. His harassment of both me and others was constant and unending, both in chat and during gameplay. His removal from these servers is easily the best change to RustEZ I have ever witnessed. Thank you.

Stop trying to steal other's heli loot and we'll stop calling you a loser.

was killed by explosion

Thank you bLu3. 

I just killed Brad and a player "Heybud" came up and tried looting the crates while they were still on fire. I told him that this server banned looting other players loot and to please back off. He told me, "You can't kill me, Mothf#cker." He then looted two of the three crates and ran away. I encounter this type of behavior weekly, and nothing ever seems to get done. Please take action this time. Thank you.

A special thanks to Leafbower, who identified the player that did this to me and transferred all the stolen loot back to my base. (it was a lot) Way above and beyond anything I expected. Awesome!

Thanks, Leafbower. I could have moved the stuff. I appreciate it. I actually moved over to the base next to my old one. (too many bad memories lol)

My base mates are CoffeebeanBailey and Colonel Comy. Neither of them would ever do anything as egregious as the player that did this. We work together as a team, sharing everything. Yes, that player went in every one of my boxes and despawned everything. They left me with a total of one half full chest of crap like stone and wood and miners caps. I had 10s of thousands of HQ, Scrap, frags, GP, etc. Is Machete Small the player's name? I'd really like to know who did this so I can warn other players if I see them online.

Thanks, Leafbower.  I suspect they just despawned all my stuff. 

Same player also put a tc down next to my pumpjack and drained it.

I was able to bust the tc and locked boxes. They took everything. (and I was rich)

They also put a sleeping bag down near my work bench. It'd be pretty easy to figure out who this was.

A player on EU Survival griefed my base and looted it. They somehow authorized on my tc, built a structure outside, emptied all my boxes, and locked all my most important boxes with wooden locks, including components, guns, ammo, resources. Not sure if these boxes are full or empty. I assume empty. I'd be delighted if an admin could find out who did all this, and take appropriate measures. Thank you.

Ah, I've tried to record kills by throwing them, to no avail. Glad to hear it's on a burner in the back.

Probably the same player that took me for 10K metal on AU Pure...

Ever notice that the distance records for melee weapons stop getting broken by day three of wipe? They max out and cannot be broken anymore. I personally believe these short (under 5 meters) records have no place among the records for the other weapons. They actually clog up the list with so many short melee records. Nobody goes and says, "Hmmm, I wonder what the record for the mace is??" lol

I just think that the records list should be for weapons that can kill past 10 meters, and can be continually broken the whole wipe. Removing the worthless melee records would clean up the super-long /top list as well. The record for candy cane club should remain, however.

Just some thoughts,

Coming from the guy that lets his 6-year-old play rust...

When you hold "E" to harvest crops, "take clipping" is the second option, forcing one to drag their mouse down to it. If this were reversed where it was the first option, this would greatly reduce the time in farming. I think most players just hit "E" to harvest crops anyways, and making it an option in the harvest menu is kind of redundant. Removing "harvest crops" from the harvest menu would work too. When you have 100s of plants to take the clippings of, this menu isn't your friend. Just a thought...

Ever since I started playing Rust, I've hated how loud the fire places are. I'd love to place them throughout my base, but I usually never even turn them on, because of how annoying their sound is. I know this is a ridiculous suggestion, but an ability to lower their volume would make me a happy boy. Please consider. Keep up the fantastic work. Your mods have all been incredible this year, especially picking up helis, auto-upgrade TCs, black market, the new welcome screen, different attack heli levels, and the new fishing action. Too many to mention!

Hey Death, you asked me to send you a note about making tool cabinets repair bases on the Survival servers.
