If a pumpjack and test gens were on the /shop and cost a crazy amount of networth it would lead to players chasing even more insane amounts of networth than they currently do.

Currently it is like warframe, if you have the time and work hard enough you can max/min networth without these items; You can run the public pumpjacks, the public quarries, giant excavator, private quarries(survival only), drink teas combined with max skill and hit up nodes and scrap, farm hemp and run the monuments for the loot. There's also nothing wrong with this, if you have the time and put it in you deserve to be rewarded.
I think this idea would add extra low grade fuel, crude, diesel and excavator amounts to flood the market devaluing those items and leading to less players being online and doing things.

Hey Armadillo, thanks for bringing this to our attention, i'll take a look into this.
It's not a great idea to build inside another players walled area. As we have a kit in scourge it is possible to use the suicide option to respawn in a different location for next time. I agree that allowing passage is important in this location. I'll check over the tc's and see if it belongs to the same player, thanks for letting us know.

Get your build hammers out and pumpkins on! We're hosting a Halloween build contest for all players. Build an original spooky, Halloween-themed space on the server and enter to win prizes for next wipe (November)!

BUILD REQUIREMENTS
The build must be a stand-alone single detached Halloween-themed build (no towns/villages/hotels/bridges to ensure an enjoyable event experience for all) and contain a minimum of 5 different Halloween items obtained during wipe.

SERVER POSTS
If you play US Pure, US Survival, EU Scourge click on these links to enter in those forum threads, thank you!
If not keep reading and enter here.
 

HOW TO ENTER
To enter, reply to this forum thread and include:

-Your in-game name & server (i.e. DebStarr AU Survival)

-The name of your build (i.e. Spoopy pookie parlour)

-The Map Grid ID of your build (i.e. C13)

Maximum of 2 screenshots of your build: One screenshot of the front, one interior/other screenshot of your choice.

Once you have posted your entry here, contact an admin in game for your build contest package (a few helpful Halloween items).  Post early so we can follow your progress! You may edit your post later to update the screenshots.

Builds must be posted here by midnight (ET) Friday, October 27, 2023. Inactivity purged builds and decayed builds(Scourge) before tour date, will be disqualified.

Admins may enter the competition, use of admin tools is allowed. Admin build contest will be decided by a community poll.
 

BUILD TOUR EVENTS
Build contest ends later this wipe to ensure players have time to decorate their builds after the official Halloween update.  Unfortunately, this doesn't leave much time to plan Build Tour events. Your server admins will do their best to host server events (Oct 28-31) so participants can offer tours of their build (it is not a requirement that you need to be at the tour.) This post will be updated to include events and times for event tours, join the discord to stay updated.
 

BUILD CONTEST PRIZES
Winners will be chosen by your server admins.

1st place: $10 RustEZ store credit

2nd place: $5 RustEZ store credit

3rd place: 3x supply signals

 

if my math checks out with a budget of £40 you'd get a level 13 combined with the 3 public ones you'd still be making a good amount of low grade fuel.

I came to RustEZ through the community tab for Pure, at the time quarries were instanced but not GE. I recall having a ton of fun and not using quarry/GE anyway. The tech trees were unlocked through running the roads, monuments and farming. No /sil was great, i had some terrible looking signs and so did everyone else.
 

when it comes to duo's it's good to have the most active player in the wipe as the one who learns the BP's and crafts all the items. If you aren't sharing all loot/materials and base then i can see why you'd both be doing BPs.

Congratulations to the winners

Round 1 likeagod (HELLO ?)
runner up Chels

Round 2 Chels
runner up likeagod (HELLO ?)

Thanks to all who came along, we had a huge turnout. Apologies for the delay and chaos.

runner up Round 2: $2.50 RustEZ store credit
 

We will have a pvp match afterwards for fun.

Name calling repeatedly whoever denied your TP... in a whole the context is that despite previous warnings, mute, ban for previous behaviour of the same, nothing has changed.
I have been consistent in my replies to you (i have changed player disrespect to name calling so that you may better understand), the logs that you requested are there.
Admins are to treat all players equally, had this been any other player with the same history it would have the same consequences. You have the freedom to say what you like and to treat people the way you like, however you will face the consequences of your actions and words.
 

You used your last moments on the server to; be disruptive at a player run event, name calling the player running the event, name calling an admin because they were going to mute you (after you were told to stop but continued), name calling a player who found your choice of word offensive.
I wish you all the best on finding a community that better suits you.

You can report an admin here

I'm aware that the use of the word when applied to oneself and not another is not derogatory. I'm not interested in that word at all.
You showed player disrespect, were muted and then continued with the behaviour. We aren't zeroing in on a single line, the event as a whole is the reason the ban was put in place.

Again this incident is just the icing on the cake. All previous warnings and incidents are the cake, this was just the icing. The cake is now done and the ban in place.

Just to be clear. You've had 3 previous warnings before this incident. 2 for player disrespect, 1 for griefing players. We have a 3 strike policy.
This is a previous ban (not counted as a previous warning in my tally above.)

Logs for last incident in which the ban was applied.
11:01 AM Clint Westwood: shut up crady 11:01 AM Clint Westwood: declined in 3 seconds 11:02 AM Clint Westwood: coward  11:02 AM Clint Westwood: lol  actually muted me for calling out him declining tps 11:03 AM Clint Westwood: i throw in on that 11:03 AM Clint Westwood: ill* 11:04 AM Clint Westwood: no 11:04 AM Clint Westwood: ill never forget this betrayal 11:04 AM Clint Westwood: the absolute gall of some cowards 11:05 AM BWK_Mcdonalds muted 76561198358270885 (Clint Westwood) 11:20 AM BWK_Mcdonalds unmuted 76561198358270885 (Clint Westwood) 11:20 AM Clint Westwood: eat my ass 11:21 AM Clint Westwood: with respect of course
11:23 AM Clint Westwood: bit retarded how i cant speak my own opinion 11:23 AM Clint Westwood: big mad 11:23 AM Clint Westwood: no 11:24 AM Clint Westwood: its allowed by death 11:24 AM Clint Westwood: eat my ass 11:24 AM Clint Westwood: im retarded so its fine

you can appeal here

Given the length of time you have had in the community you would be aware of the rules.
Bans are not given lightly and you have been warned several times over the past 2 years for player disrespect. All previous warnings have been given so that you may correct your behaviour. Unfortunately you continued with player disrespect, showed no remorse or courtesy and after being muted continued with player disrespect towards another player.

If you are placing scrap into loot boxes do make sure you are the one putting them down (the boxes) as they can be caught out by the inactivity purge if another player places them and their items are removed. I understand you had plans for the scrap and that is most unfortunate, sorry for the loss.

You should have gotten an email and/or a message notification with details.

Our community is a safe place for players to enjoy the game they're playing and have positive discourse with others. Controversial or political talk and/or imagery is strongly discouraged. Again only the name is banned, not the player (all they have to do is change their steam name.)

If you have any issues joining the server again after the change of steam name please let us know.
 

If you choose, you can appeal this decision to the leadership team by pleading your case and  @  them in this forum post.

Staff Directory - RustEZ  https://rustez.com/staff/

Thank you for appealing. We do not lift bans for language which has only one meaning, that being purposefully racist or severely derogatory. 

While we do understand that this language permeates music, comedy, movies, and other media, it is something we do not feel is appropriate to have in our servers.

Pejorative terms and derogatory words such as what were used on your account, are not welcome in any context. This includes in global chat, on signs, and written on notes or sleeping bags.

The ban will not be lifted.

This is your previous ban appeal

Thank you for appealing. 
 

With the current cancel culture in the world, racism in all aspects of society is being closely scrutinized.  While we do understand that it still heavily permeates music, comedy, movies, and other media, it is something we do not feel is appropriate to have in our servers.

Words such as what you used, are not welcome in any context.

That being said, you will get a second chance. Just one.
The ban will be lifted once 72 hours have passed, but it will remain on your record.  There will be no additional chances as this post should encourage you to change how you speak in our servers and to abide by the rules.

Take a few minutes before rejoining, and refresh yourself on the rules to avoid any chance of breaking them. If you are unclear on any of them, or aren't sure what is permitted, reach out to the staff and we'll be happy to clarify them for you.

● No raiding, griefing or looting of any kind.
● No mic or chat spam, player disrespect, politics, racism or harassment.
● No camping loot rooms, monuments or any highly concentrated areas.
● You may build in caves but you must ensure safe passage for other players.
● No blocking water ways, building around monuments or large areas of unused land.

Welcome back. 
(Please bear in mind, this is a one-time ban reversal. No further rule infractions of this nature can happen. Thank you!)

Your appeal has been received and a response will be posted when all information has been reviewed, thank you kindly for your patience.
