If we could scalp and collect beards that would make it even better.

Make a, "beard effigy," akin to the effigies shown in the promo for The Forest, just less gruesome. Scare off enemies/trespassers. Love it.

[tankton]

Absolutely agree from me!

[Corvo]

beards and long fingernails and maybe a tail (because you've been to rad town a lot)

[EagleOne]

what about female characters?

nuff' said.

Didn't you mean to say "muff said"?

It can show how long you stayed alive

Stop bumping

you bumped it :D

[thuesen207]

and when finding sleepers you cut off there beard!

[EnderRay]

Doesn't really matter ,because you just kill them anyways

[Shavasku]

Beards, man. Beards.

[Sievers808]

I'm so glad this thread has been brought back. Still love this idea! (although I'm obviously biased)

[Dionysus9]

I appreciate the bump because I was looking for this thread a few days ago and couldn't find it with the search function.

I keep coming back to this idea and how it would (visually) reward players who don't use their sleeping bags to teleport around the map. Currently there is no incentive not to use sleeping bags as teleporters-- but if using a bag/bed meant losing my beard.... gosh, I think I'd just have walk!

[G0DLY]

Great suggestion, however, the rampant aimbotting that plagues this game would have to be rectified along with the implementation of this idea. The thought of losing my glorious beard to some unendowed botter is infuriating.


Just bein real.

I have around 400 hours in this game...I have been killed exactly 3 times by players.

I'm a sneaky bastard. being a solo player I have to be.

My beard would be very epic...dragging behind as I walk through rust.

[TheStriped]

I want mutton chops. I also want my character's giant caveman dick to become erect on command.

In-game beards. Your player grows one. The longer you stay alive, the longer your beard. If you stay alive for 20 rust days, your beard becomes badass.

Typical scenario that might play out:

"I got a leather guy up on the rocks!"

"Don't shoot! He's an elder!"




I wish I could grow a beard...

alreayd been suggested several times. ther was a really long thread on the idea buried somewhere in the forums.

Is this the one?

Only been suggested like twice according to a search, and the other thread was started for just hair, like scalp hair, not beards.

However, Garry did post on that thread with an interesting tidbit:

One of our brainstorming ideas was that you'd grow a beard over your lifetime, so you could tell how awesome people was by the length of their beard.

[Shavasku]

Garry mentioned that?! Oh yes, that's nice. I hope to see this feature in game on the future.

[jaberus]

You shall not pass.

[Limited Cash]

Don't starve style. :D
Can make clothes out of your beard would be fun feature make a ghillie at of your own beard or other peoples beards.

This would be SO awesome. When you die your beard gets reset. Like the Dothraki in Game of Thrones.

yes, just, just yes

[Bernie Stacks]

I love the idea. The beard can grow with age, for each player kill you get a bead in your beard, allowing warriors to adorn themselves with simple symbols of successful battles and general badassery. You could even cut off the beards of those you've killed and hang them on your front door as a symbol for anyone that wants to mess with your base. I dont know about you, but if a guy had 30+ beards strung on his door, each covered in little red beads symbolizing the might of the victim and the suggested strength of the owner of the house, I might skip that one.
Only half kidding about that second idea :)

Quote from Garry on the Trello Art: "Hair is another thing. We came up with the idea a long time ago that the player's hair/beard would be an indication of how long they've survived. They'd be able to shave/style it - but most players would probably choose to keep it long, as status."

Good news.

The best news I've heard since Rust was born!

Lets do it! Seems pretty simple to add on.

HAHAHAHAHA

This is going to be fairly difficult.
Is hair rigid, or does it react to gravity. How is it effected by a helmet?
Do you go full on beard/hair or do you allow players to shave/cut parts of their beards/hair?

Let alone the fact this is potentially bleeding edge. I don't think I have ever heard of a game with hair growth, other than Don't Starve and that isn't 3d!
