I really like the idea of new types of animals being the *new* threats.

Killer bunnies, razorback boar, hungry vultures... bring it, Facepunch!

Raiders that roam around. Busting into houses taking loot and killing people they see would be wicked.

Nah everyone would be pissed off

Alright So these are some ideas of Mobs that are affected by radiation.











or the extreme

Wha... what is that last thing?!

Looks like a cockroach shagged... "something" well-dodgy n ugly in bulk.

Excellent potential for all kinds of diseases, right?

They are being replaced with 1,000 Garry Newman's across the map and when you aggro them, they chase you around saying, "This is Alpha. Stop whining. This is Alpha. Stop whining."

Hands down the best comment in the Rust subforum.

Confirmed next update zombies are getting taken out. Any thoughts on replacement?

Zombie was goood. Why they get rid of it?

[Gdust]

They are too easy, why can't devs change NPCs every week or month? It would be so interesting. I know they are busy.

If you want to add dinosaurs then just go play Stomping Lands, its a survival all about Dino's and Cavemen. Its like Rust but your biggest threat is the T-Rex.

HOLE SHIT! thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you now i hate americans less

Since they're replacing Zombies, they should also replace the plane that does the air drops with Santa dropping presents..... When you hear the jingle bells coming everybody runs out screaming "SANTA! SANTA!"

Yes?

That would be slightly irritating.
I wouldn't like a new NPC each week/month

Thats more of a MMO style.
Maybe add more types of NPC's into the world, but not change them. It would seem annoying to constantly have to patch the game because different sorts of NPCs have come.

Add more NPC's not replace

[lewyk13]

I would like to see specific mobs for each part of the map if biomes get implemented... Some form of humaniod would make the most logical choice, but yea, zombies are overdone. Even if if they are hostile NPC roamers, it doesn't have to be overthought.

[Harlow]

Reading all of the suggestions I think the best replacement at the moment (most likely a placeholder even) are mutants. It should be a simple replace or mesh and texture and animation. I like the idea of also having range attack types but we probably won't see that. Further on, I would love to see some sort of a scavenging/primitive human NPC, which forage resources in the area and KOS if you're in close vicinity to their settlement.

My initial guess is that they are just going to have the regular animals basically absorb the zombie loot tables into their own, but the number of items relating to "generic" spawns (as well as it just not really making sense for pigs and wolves to be carrying blueprints and ammo) do suggest that they've added something else.

Hopefully it is something that has both a melee and a ranged version to make things a bit more interesting.

If we're talking about what and what doesn't make sense then tell me how a zombie can carry entire metal houses around in their pockets. Got a metal foundation and two metal stairs from a zombie just the other day.

Would like to see handcuffs, and the ability to make holding cells.
Would love to capture people from enemy factions and trap them, forcing their group to give us what we want. And when someone is captured and in a holding cell they cannot F1>Suicide.

Also, could we add playable children characters.
Would love to play a young boy who is trying to survive the environment of rust. Could have an aging system, 4 days IRL makes the child grow up. You can choose to start as a child or adult.

You would have that aspect of do i want to kill this child who is resourcing, can i morally kill him?
It would also give people the ability to Roleplay, my friend on Teamspeak could play as my child, and my other friend could be my spouse (why the hell not) and we survive through Rust. It'd be fun, something different, something that no other game has to offer.

It better be dinosaurs.

The developers said numerous times the zombies were only placeholders. Unless I'm mistaken, the zombie in Rust is a model taken from the unity asset store as well.

then everybody would play as a child since they could hide more easily and be harder to hit with bullets, you'd have a flood of little midget bastards hitting you in the knees with their rocks

I emailed the devs and asked them to consider allowing mod server admins to continue to develop NPCs like zombies for custom maps, but I haven't gotten a response, yet. I want to work on even more quest swith custom NPCs and new deployable objects...
--------------------
NEW FAST Rust server, With PVE safe area in Secret Valley, but the rest of map is PVP. Autolocation to find yourself on map. Many other features, please come and look!!

To try this new server, open Rust, press F1 and in that console window type "net.connect 107.152.187.138:28165"

(User was banned for this post ("stop advertising your server in random threads" - postal))

I love the ideas of mutated animals because they look a lot scarier. Really hope they do something like the mutated wolf & pig pic above. Those would scare the shit out of me when I'm walking around at night. I guess when they add swamps, this ugly thing can be thrown in there as a boss enemy.
