From Steam’s client network, last checked . Builds before 21 Oct 2026, when we started watching, aren't listed. Patch notes are the developer’s post tagged as patch notes from an hour before to a day after the build. Not every build gets one. How we count
The only aim in Rust is to survive. Everything wants you to die - the island’s wildlife, other inhabitants, the environment, and other survivors. Do whatever it takes to last another night.
