Rust: This brought the Tech Tree update

There were already some important updates for Rust in 2020. All the more fitting, then, that there was a worthy conclusion at the end of the year. Our guide introduces the tech tree update from December 2020.

Targeted progress: the tech tree update introduced a research tree.

The tech tree update went live on December 3, 2020 and had a major impact on the game content. Research and unlocking are, after all, elemental parts of the survival hit.

Rust: Tech Tree Update Provides Major Changes

The Tech Tree Update affected virtually all

• A research tree now exists for workbench progress. This applies to each workbench level separately.
• This is the first time you have a choice when unlocking blueprints. You can work specifically towards certain items.
• This new feature is an addition to the Blueprint research, which still exists. The advantage is that you no longer have to rely solely on luck to get the blueprint you want.
• In addition, there have been some important adjustments regarding existing objects. For example, the chainsaw requires 75 percent less fuel after the update, which makes it much easier and more practical to use.
• In addition, many items have been assigned to a different workbench level, so the classification feels more logical and balanced.
• In addition, the prices or material costs of many objects have been reduced.
• The same goes for the crafting time of quite a few items at the workbenches.
• Numerous objects can now be stacked in the inventory.

Because of its impact on overall progress in the game, the Tech Tree update is a big step and might be a reason for experienced players to return to Rust and see the new features for themselves.
