The brand Rust Crafting Update for Rust, which was released on March 6, 2025, brings exciting new features to the survival game.

New cooking and crafting mechanics
With the introduction of the new cooking mechanic Rust, you now have the opportunity to prepare a wide variety of dishes. Crafting has been expanded to include numerous recipes that not only improve your chances of survival, but also offer strategic advantages. Cooking is now much more realistic: ingredients must be carefully selected, processed and combined. This makes daily survival even more fun!
Pet Chickens and Beekeeping in Rust
Pet chickens in Rust
You can now keep chickens as pets. Build a chicken coop, look after your feathered friends and they will regularly reward you with fresh eggs. These eggs are not only nutritious, but also essential for the production of some new dishes.

Beekeeping in Rust
Also new are bee colonies, which you can now breed in special beehives. The bees produce honey, which can be used in a variety of ways – both for delicious recipes and for medicinal purposes. Beekeeping strengthens your base and offers you new strategic options.
Cakes with nice side effects
The Rust Crafting Update brings cakes into play for the first time. These sweets not only improve your health, but also give you time-limited buffs such as increased speed or improved stamina. Be sure to try out all the new recipes to gain advantages in battle and when farming!
Rust armor inserts: More protection for your equipment
Another highlight are the new armor inserts, which you can use to strengthen your existing armor. These inserts not only increase the durability of your equipment, but also offer you additional protection against various types of damage such as fire or melee attacks. This means you are much better equipped in PvP!

Performance improvements and optimizations
Facepunch Studios has also worked intensively on performance improvements. Thanks to the crafting update, the game and especially the crafting system now run much more smoothly. Annoying lags when opening the crafting menu are now a thing of the past, and the gameplay feels smoother and more pleasant overall.
Although originally planned with this update, the premium servers have been postponed to a later date. These special servers will offer players exclusive content, advanced customization options and improved server performance. You can look forward to seeing what else Facepunch has in store in this regard.

How the crafting update changes Rust
The Rust Crafting Update takes the game experience to a whole new level. The new cooking mechanics, pet chickens and beehives offer you numerous new gameplay options. The introduction of cakes and pies provides additional variety, while armor inserts and performance optimizations significantly improve the flow of the game.
