The Rust Crafting update has arrived, bringing new content to change up how you play and survive. However, in Rust tradition, for every new convenience, there are just as many new ways to die. So, today, we explore The Crafting Update Rust Patch Notes alongside highlights such as pies, bee bombs, and new premium servers designed to keep cheaters outside.
True to its name, The Crafting Update adds plenty of new features for crafting, including The Engineering Workbench that expands upon automation, Hoppers that automatically suck up items in their surroundings, and armor slots on player-crafted armor that give them bonuses over those found in the wild.
However, the biggest changes of this update were to none other than cooking and farming. Chickens can now be raised in coops, bees can be raised for honey and bee bombs, and the new Cooking Workbench adds plenty of stat-boosting recipes, such as pies and bread. Also, be ready to deal with rotting food and meat, assuming you don’t make a fridge.
The Cooking Workbench brings with it plenty of recipes, new and old, complete with models for raw and cooked variants that change in real-time. Meat and cooked meat will now expire without a fridge, more complex foods such as pies can be cooked for stat bonus, and teas can be mixed to help deal with warm and cold temperatures. Mixing Table recipes can also be crafted on a Cooking Workbench.
Player-crafted armor now comes with exclusive bonuses in the form of armor slots. The number of slots will vary with items such as the Crafting Quality Potions increasing the likelihood of getting more, while the slots themselves can be filled with armor inserts that provide a variety of bonuses.
Additionally, unstackable items such as weapons now note who originally crafted them no matter the number of times it passes hands. This small change allows for each item to have a story of its own, alongside bragging rights when it is a weapon from a nemesis or proof of who stole from the friend who forgot to close their door.
Farming saw many new features with this update, including wheat crops, triangle planters, chicken coops, and craftable bee hives. The triangle planters allow for space to be better optimized within bases, while chicken coops allow players to collect eggs from wild chickens to raise them domestically.
Wild bees and their hives can now also be found on oak trees and harvested with an axe. Doing so will cause the bees to swarm, so be prepared to act with a torch if not wearing a hazmat suit. The gathered honeycomb can be turned into honey with a small chance of also providing a Beehive Nucleus. This item allows for crafted bee hives to be set up and maintained at home.
Bee hives serve as a source of honey for many new crating recipes and also as a source of bees for bee bombs.
A crafting update wouldn’t be complete without new forms of automation, and Facepunch did not slack. The new Engineering Workbench provides a dedicated tech tree for water, electricity, and industrial systems, with more advanced components unlocked through research as the game progresses.
Additionally, the Hopper has been added. This nifty contraption automatically sucks up nearby items and places them into the chest it is attached to. A neat note is that this includes corpses as well, but be prepared for quite the gory sight as it grinds the bodies into parts for your convenience. Hoppers are also compatible with industrial pipes, adding further to the automated possibilities of this update.
Finally, there is the new server feature that has been dubbed Premium Servers. Thankfully, this is just a new server setting to help prevent cheaters that sounds a bit scarier than it actually is. Server owners that enable the setting and turn their server into a Premium Server will gain a new layer of security that prevents players who do not have at least $15 USD worth of Rust items within their inventory from joining.
Alongside those security features, Premium Servers will also be given priority listing in the Rust server menu. Facepunch has noted that this change is being watched closely on their end, and updates will be made as necessary.
The Crafting Update Overview
Cooking Workbench
The Cooking Workbench brings with it plenty of recipes, new and old, complete with models for raw and cooked variants that change in real-time. Meat and cooked meat will now expire without a fridge, more complex foods such as pies can be cooked for stat bonus, and teas can be mixed to help deal with warm and cold temperatures. Mixing Table recipes can also be crafted on a Cooking Workbench.
Armor Slots & Item Ownership
Player-crafted armor now comes with exclusive bonuses in the form of armor slots. The number of slots will vary with items such as the Crafting Quality Potions increasing the likelihood of getting more, while the slots themselves can be filled with armor inserts that provide a variety of bonuses.
Additionally, unstackable items such as weapons now note who originally crafted them no matter the number of times it passes hands. This small change allows for each item to have a story of its own, alongside bragging rights when it is a weapon from a nemesis or proof of who stole from the friend who forgot to close their door.
Farms, Coops, & Stinging Bees
Farming saw many new features with this update, including wheat crops, triangle planters, chicken coops, and craftable bee hives. The triangle planters allow for space to be better optimized within bases, while chicken coops allow players to collect eggs from wild chickens to raise them domestically.
Wild bees and their hives can now also be found on oak trees and harvested with an axe. Doing so will cause the bees to swarm, so be prepared to act with a torch if not wearing a hazmat suit. The gathered honeycomb can be turned into honey with a small chance of also providing a Beehive Nucleus. This item allows for crafted bee hives to be set up and maintained at home.
Bee hives serve as a source of honey for many new crating recipes and also as a source of bees for bee bombs.
Automation Updates
A crafting update wouldn’t be complete without new forms of automation, and Facepunch did not slack. The new Engineering Workbench provides a dedicated tech tree for water, electricity, and industrial systems, with more advanced components unlocked through research as the game progresses.
Additionally, the Hopper has been added. This nifty contraption automatically sucks up nearby items and places them into the chest it is attached to. A neat note is that this includes corpses as well, but be prepared for quite the gory sight as it grinds the bodies into parts for your convenience.

Premium Servers
Finally, there is the new server feature that has been dubbed Premium Servers. Thankfully, this is just a new server setting to help prevent cheaters that sounds a bit scarier than it actually is. Server owners that enable the setting and turn their server into a Premium Server will gain a new layer of security that prevents players who do not have at least $15 USD worth of Rust items within their inventory from joining.
Alongside those security features, Premium Servers will also be given priority listing in the Rust server menu. Facepunch has noted that this change is being watched closely on their end, and updates will be made as necessary.
