A Rust clan, building up for its first wipe

CTFOChilled the fuck out

A Rust clan for people with jobs, families and a couple of hours to spare. The plan is hundreds of us playing in short shifts, so the village never sleeps and nobody burns out.

A couple of hours at a time Built for hundreds, not a handful Never played? Good, start here
Why CTFO exists

Most clans want your hours. We want you.

Look at any Rust clan recruitment post. 2000 hours minimum, on every day, bring your own aim. If you're new, or you've got a life outside the game, you're left on the beach with a rock wondering where everyone went.

We think that's backwards. A new player will happily run the same job over and over as long as they're having a laugh doing it. Give them a safe place to learn and a reason to come back. They'll turn into the player those clans were trying to hire.

So that's what CTFO is. Lots of people, playing a bit each, all looking out for each other.

Numbers, not hours

Nobody plays 16 hours a day. Together we do.

Three hundred people playing two hours a day adds up to six hundred hours of play, every day. Spread that around the clock and the village always has people home.

Log off whenever you like, someone's already logging on.

The village

Fifty people behind walls don't get wiped.

Instead of one tight base guarded by a few sweats, CTFO builds a village. High external walls, peacekeeper turrets on every corner and gate, farms, a workshop, a shared main base and a row of huts for anyone who wants their own corner.

With dozens of us online at once the village can stand for the whole wipe. That's the point of it. A base that survives is a base where people can learn. You can spend an evening figuring out farming or building without losing everything to a roam group.

  • Farming, building, electricity and crafting taught by people who've done it
  • Jobs for every level, from hauling stone to running the turrets
  • Shared loot, so a short session still moves everyone forward
Who it's for

Day one or ten thousand hours, there's a spot for you

0 hours

Never played

Perfect. You'll spawn into a village full of people instead of a beach full of nakeds. Someone will show you the ropes.

Under 500

Still learning

Pick a job you want to get good at and do it with people who'll answer your questions without sighing.

500 to 2000

Know your way round

Lead a farm crew, run a monument trip, take a new player under your wing for an evening.

2000 and up

Seen it all

You're the teachers. If showing a new player how to build a honeycomb sounds like a good night, you'll love it here.

The one rule that matters

If you've got 10k hours and new players annoy you, this isn't your clan.

Everyone here was new once. Patience isn't optional, it's the whole idea. If someone doesn't know what they're doing, show them or leave them to it. Getting angry at them gets you removed, however good you are. There are plenty of clans built for sweating, this one's built for chilling.

We're building a proper vetting system first, so cheaters never get through the gate.
