Rust is an open-world survival game created by Facepunch Studios, inspired by games like DayZ, Minecraft and Stalker. The aim of the game is to survive in a hostile environment where resources are scarce. Players gather resources such as wood and ore from trees and rocks with a rock or hatchet crafted from those materials. They can then hunt wildlife such as boars, chickens, rabbits, bears, wolves and deer for their meat and skins. Resources can be used to craft a fire for cooking food before consumption or tools that make gathering faster. At any point another player may find you and kill you for your stuff but it's also possible to form alliances with other players too if needed. Lastly the environment itself presents dangers such as falling from high altitudes or exposure to radiation which could lead to death if not careful enough when exploring its world
