To start playing Rust, you need to buy it, and you need to buy it, you ask why, but because cheaters will rape you on a pirate, firstly, and secondly, there are few servers on a pirate.
Next, you need to download it, because if you do not download it, you will not be able to play it, is it logical? logical.

As you download Rust, you will be offered thousands of servers, both mod and official, and then the choice is up to you and your internet which server to choose.

As you entered the server, immediately see the map, or rather where you are.
And so, you have decided where you are, and now you need to run and farm, farm everything you see and everything you can, also avoiding encounters with loot types, but if you are a masochist, you can try to kill them (it is unlikely that you can kill them ).
Well, now, you got lost, you have a million resources, but damn, what to do with them, but everything is simple, build a hut, and in order to build it you need a building plan that you can craft for a tree, you also need a mallet, what to improve your buildings.
And so, the hut is done, now you need to put a wardrobe, it can be crafted for 1000 wood, and put the wardrobe in the very ass of your house, so that it would be hard for you to get to it yourself.
also at the entrance of the house you need to put at least 2 doors, and you need to put them so that one door interferes with the passage.
Now let's summarize: we have a hut, res and no weapons, and now you are ready, ready to go further and farm scrap (metal scrap).
and also if you killed all sorts of looted types, then the end will come to you soon, since they are 100% angry at you and will come to raid you at night.
Have a nice game)))))
