What's Coming in the September 4 Rust Wipe

Here's a summary of features, experiments, and changes being worked on ahead of the next forced wipe, based on recent commits and dev updates.

Credit to @Protox0 for tracking and sharing this info.

Note: Some of this is still experimental and may change or never release.

Name Tags on Bags (Staging Branch)

Bags now display name tags in-game on the staging branch.
Helps with organizing bags, but also makes them easier to identify and destroy.

Scrap Heli Seating and Storage (Hackweek)

Scrap helicopters were tested with:
  • New passenger seats along the sides
  • Storage space (not working yet)
    Part of internal dev testing during Hackweek.

Controlled Water Pouring

Water containers are being updated:
  • Hold ALT + Left Click to dump all water
  • Tap Left Click to pour slowly
    Perfect for watering plants or doing smaller pours.

Base Heating Overhaul (Hackweek)

Base heating is being improved with more precise detection of what areas are affected.
This will make heating systems like campfires and heaters feel more realistic and accurate inside your base.

Torch Now Provides Warmth

A lit torch might soon give off warmth, comfort, and help dry you off when wet.
Still experimental, but would make early-game torches much more useful.

Custom Crosshair UI

You can now create and preview a custom crosshair directly from an in-game menu, no console commands needed.

Scientists Can Drive Boats

Scientist NPCs are being tested with the ability to drive RHIB boats.
How or where this is used isn't confirmed yet, but it opens up new possibilities for events or PvE servers.

Oil Rig Barrel Cleanup

Visual cleanup on oil rigs:
  • Static black barrels replaced with yellow/red ones
    This helps players avoid confusing them with lootable diesel barrels.

Sleeping Bag Name Rules

You’ll only see team bag names if you:
  • Have TC access
  • And are holding a hammer
    Reduces screen clutter from too many visible bag names.

Deep Sea Expansion + Islands

The map is being expanded to include deep sea regions:
  • New islands can now spawn far offshore
  • These could be used for future content or events
    Looks like part of a bigger Naval Update in development.

Barricades will now work properly on:
  • Sand dunes near Excavator, Water Wells, and Radtowns

Chat commands start with a /, while console commands can be entered directly in the F1 console or server console. Use find <keyword> in console to search for available commands related to the plugin. Parameters in < > are required, while [ ] are optional.
This plugin uses Oxide's permission system. Grant or revoke permissions using oxide.grant and oxide.revoke. You can assign them to individual players or groups using their Steam id or group name.
Settings are stored in the config file found under the config/ directory. You can edit this file manually, then reload the plugin to apply your changes.
Persistent data is saved in the data/ directory. This includes things like saved settings, usage stats, or player progress depending on the plugin. Deleting a data file will reset stored progress or customizations.
Language files are located in the lang/ folder. To translate messages, copy the en.json file into your target language folder (e.g. fr, de) and edit the values. Reload the plugin after changes to apply new messages.
This section lists public methods exposed by the plugin for use in other plugins. You can call these via the CallHook method. Ensure the plugin is loaded before calling its API to avoid null reference errors.
These are custom hooks that other plugins can listen for. Simply define a method with the same name and expected parameters in your plugin to handle the event. Hooks are triggered at key moments and are useful for extending or reacting to plugin behavior.
These hooks are injected into the game's code using Harmony. They let the plugin run code at key points in the game's internal logic. You can return values to block or modify behavior. Use with caution — these are powerful and can affect core mechanics.
