So no matter how far you get into the game or how well equipped you might be, you will lose everything after the end of each month. You’d have to choose one of several servers that have been put in place by the game developers. In the console edition of Rust, it doesn’t really let you create your own map to live in. Rust is also an online multiplayer only game. You are supposed to figure out everything on your own.
