Group size affects upkeep

Included in the tool

Upkeep now has a group-size surcharge; lock authorisations count too.

RUSTICK: The surcharge calculator already uses September rates. It calculates the percentage, not total cupboard upkeep.

How this affects saves and calculations

What happens to an old plan

The cost displayed by the in-game cupboard already includes the surcharge. Do not add it again.

An obstacle may block the loot

Data review needed

Monuments with red keycard rooms now have destructible obstacles that do not return once destroyed.

What happens to an old plan

Some kits need a cost review

Data review needed

Crafting costs increased for the semi-automatic pistol and heavy plate helmet.

RUSTICK: The changelist does not give all new ingredient quantities. A recipe in our snapshot is not proof that it was checked against this patch.

How this affects saves and calculations

What happens to an old plan

Saved kits retain their build. A matching build ID alone does not confirm a recipe is current on your server.

Drone deliveries need power

Explanation added

Drone marketplace operation now depends on the Power Plant and the marketplace charge.

RUSTICK: The shop editor prepares stock and adverts. It does not check delivery availability on the server.

How this affects saves and calculations

What happens to an old plan

A saved exchange remains an offer. Check delivery status in-game before trading.

Rust+ event markers are no longer available

Explanation added

Rust+ no longer receives shop, Cargo, helicopter or travelling vendor markers.

RUSTICK: RUSTICK reflects this limitation in its capability description. The journal currently contains personal entries and training examples.

How this affects saves and calculations

What happens to an old plan

An old promise of alerts for such markers does not prove that a data source is available. Paired devices are a separate capability.
