Rust Days: 5x Raid Night

Real Rust at 5x, overrun by 7 Days to Die's zombies. Your own Rust server runs on your PC. By day the zombies wander and walk; at night they run. Every 7th night a blood-moon horde comes to raid your base.

5x Rust

• 5x gathering, pickups, farming, and crate and barrel loot. Crafting is 5x faster, smelting is 10x, and resources and components stack to 100,000.
• One hit breaks a barrel and its loot goes straight into your inventory. Guns turn up in crates far more often, and barrels, crates and boxes are topped up every 10 minutes.
• /kit: opens the Starter Kit. Press it for a salvaged axe and icepick, a hazmat suit, 4 syringes, 6 bandages, 10 pumpkins, 3,000 wood, 3,000 stone, a tool cupboard, a key lock, a sleeping bag, a building plan and a hammer. Once every real hour.

7 Days to Die's zombies, read from your own 7 Days to Die

• 17 types (Boe, Arlene, Nurse, Soldier, Biker, Fat Cop, Hazmat, the ferals, the Demolisher...) with 75% of 7DTD's health and its own speed and damage, spawning from 7DTD's tables for your biome.
• Blood moon every 7th night: 7DTD's horde for how long you've survived attacks your base (your Tool Cupboard) under a red moon, with the ground lit around you so you see it coming. Zombies break walls at 7DTD's rates. Away from your base, the horde hunts you down.
• Armed zombies and raiders: some zombies are Rust's soldiers in zombie suits, with guns that get better after every horde. Raiders plant or throw satchels (later C4) at your walls. A zombie below your ledge or roof leaps up to you.

Server extras

• Teleports: /sethome, /home, /homes, /delhome, plus /tpr and /tpa to reach a friend.
• /remove: for 15 seconds, anything you built that you hit is removed, with an on-screen countdown and Cancel.
• /mymini: your own minicopter every 30 minutes. Bring your own fuel.
• /skin: free Steam Workshop skins for the item in your hand (no store or DLC skins).
• Halloween: Rust's Halloween event is on. The graveyard fence and Frankenstein table are craftable with Rust's own recipes, and zombies can drop Halloween loot bags.
• Workbench 1 and the Engineering Workbench are known from the start, and you craft anywhere at the level of the best workbench you've placed.
• 15-minute days and 15-minute nights, a day counter on your HUD that carries on across restarts, and your world saved every minute.
• The map: a 2500 procedural map (seed 414914210) with Bandit Camp, Missile Silo, Water Treatment Plant, Satellite Dish, The Dome, Junkyard, the Abandoned Military Base, Arctic Research Base, Ferry Terminal, harbors, both oil rigs and an Underwater Lab.

Solo or with friends, up to 8 players. Press Play to host; friends press Join on your game in Melty and land in your world. PvP is on, like normal Rust. Your game is friends-only and stays off Rust's public server list. Friends outside your home network can reach you when your router allows it (UPnP); otherwise forward UDP 28015 to your PC. Windows may ask you to let the Rust server through the firewall the first time you host.

Needs Rust and 7 Days to Die installed (friends who join need both too, but not the server download). The first Play takes a while: Melty downloads Rust's free dedicated server (about 6 GB, from Steam) and the Carbon mod framework, then builds the map once. After that each Play starts the server in about a minute and drops you straight in. Your world is saved in %LOCALAPPDATA%\RustDays.
