A recent update in the popular survival game Rust brings an innovative method for power generation: water wheels. These new structures are designed to harness hydro energy from flowing water, offering a sustainable power source. However, they also introduce a more… interactive approach to energy production.
Players now have the option to force other individuals, including those who are handcuffed, to run inside giant hamster-style wheels to generate electricity. This novel mechanic adds a layer of both resource management and player interaction, allowing for energy solutions that are either environmentally driven or reliant on compelled labor.
The new feature means that scenes depicting one player relaxing on a deckchair while another is vigorously working in a massive power-generating wheel could soon become a common sight in the game world of Rust.
