Nick's emergent Rust experience in IT310 got me itchin' to play again.
Of course I didn't want to go out and find a server I liked and get destroyed until I spawned away from people, so I bought a small, cheap server. You should join if you wanna play, it'll be cool having other readers around.
Details:
name Unofficial Thumb
IP/port 216.244.86.135:28516
slots 50
join quickly by going to the console (f1) and entering:
connect 216.244.86.135:28516
PVP is allowed. There's a live map here. The only mods are Oxide (mod API), PlayRust:IO (live map), Gather Manager (resource multipliers that don't seem to work), Sleeper Animal Protection (so you don't get et), and Give.
The only rule is to not be a jackass. Don't hack, be nice, etc.
