The online multiplayer survival game Rust now has trains available above the ground. The Above-Ground Update also brings other improvements, such as an improved death screen and more ziplines.
In the Above-Ground Update for Rust, players can use the Work Cart on the train tracks above the ground. This work cart is nearly the same as its underground counterpart, except it has coupling points that allow connection with other train cars. While the process of coupling only requires players to bump into train cars at low speed, uncoupling would have to be done manually by interacting with the coupling point.
The work cart needs low-grade fuel to be operational. Moreover, it’s possible to use multiple work carts in a multi-engine coupled setup for additional power. This setup allows long trains to make it up a hill successfully.
This update implements various improvements as well. For one, the NPCs that kill the player now have custom icons. Furthermore, zipline arrival points are added to the Sewer Branch, Stables, Lighthouse, and Dome. Ziplines are also better now at routing around obstacles.
