When Facepunch rolled out the train network, RobJ was the first map maker to embrace connected train networks on maps smaller than 4k. This is especially important (and high demand) for low-population servers. Red Sands is a medium-sized map brilliantly designed to integrate seamlessly with plugins like CargoTrain and ArmoredTrain. The subway and above-ground rail networks are not only practical but also add an extra layer of depth to the map. Coupled with the river system, players can navigate and explore with ease, making every journey across the map an adventure in itself.

The custom monuments in Red Sands are a real highlight. The Cobalt Vaults bring an intense, action-packed experience. Working through puzzles in multiple vaults guarded by scientists and a Bradley is challenging, and the rewards are worth the effort. It’s a perfect monument. The attention to detail in replicating the real-world Red Sands forts and integrating them into the game is impressive, offering a rich and immersive experience for players.

As with any RobJ map, the custom terrain of Red Sands is a visual treat, bringing a fresh and distinctive look to our server. It’s clear that a lot of thought and effort has gone into crafting an environment that is both beautiful and functional, making exploration and building a joy.

I highly recommend this map for anyone looking to add a unique and immersive experience that brings players together on their Rust server.
