I've changed the wounded UI so that it now displays additional information relating to your wounded status. It will now tell you the probability of recovery as well as how many seconds are left until recovery/death.



Remember: Maintaining full water and food will grant you a higher probability of recovery, and a large medkit in your belt will grant 100% chance of recovery.






Chat Emoji is a new feature this month that allows you to express yourself in some new ways. You can access the new list of emoji’s via the emoji button on the right of the chat. From there you can search for a specific emoji as well as change the current selected skin tone for all of your emoji’s. You can also type a : into the regular chat box and start typing to get an autocomplete that you can navigate with the arrow keys and Enter.



In addition to the animated emoji’s you can also use the internal item name to create an emoji using the item icon (eg. :wood:).



Server owners can also create their own emoji's for use on their servers, placing 256px png or jpg images in the "serveremoji" folder in their root directory will automatically expose those emoji for use by players on the server.

Emoji's are not currently compatible with chat in Rust+ although we’re planning on exploring this in the future.

The Rustopia Invitational is a point-based event that rewards players and teams for individual kills on other players and team-based events.

The event will be split up into three separate stages to allow for the best gameplay and pacing.

• The first day will be gathering resources and PvP-styled events.

Here is a brief overview of the Rustopia Invitational server:

• Team Limit of 12 – No allies or cross-teaming (this includes merge raids)
  
• 3x Boosted Gather and Resource Rate
  
• There is a 75-minute – 2-minute day and night cycle
  
• Advanced Team Sharing (Auto auth to TCs, Codelocks, Turrets etc.)
  
• Boosted loot tables (better barrels and boxes)
  

RayC will be casting the event and most of the team captains will be streaming it as well!
