Welcome to SYNECDOCHE! Synecdoche (noun) Sin-eck-doh-key: A figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole. Crafted over the course of years, this map offers something extraordinarily rare in this community. Custom monuments are amazing and fun to explore! I've seen so much hard work go into them and people have made some really cool stuff. However, custom monuments are only a small part of the level design in Rust. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get as much unique design detail out of the rest of the map? Wouldn't it be nice if your server felt like a real place, instead of a procedural blob map? A Map Focused on Detail, no matter where you are: But who would be insane enough to do such a thing? And how would it be possible? A 4k Rust map is 16 square kilometers. To make this feel like a real place, and give each space the attention to detail it needs demands thousands of hours working with consistent standards. This is why almost all of the maps aside from a handful on these sites will choose to use some form of procedural generation, and what makes synecdoche so uncommon. Every square meter was hand crafted with care, to make a place that feels alive and fantastical. it's what makes the map feel so beautiful. Still Not Convinced? Well, here's some of the feedback we've gotten from the community! Where Reality Meets Fantasy Each and every spot on the map was precisely manicured to feel unique and significant. Every rock has its purpose, and every nook and cranny was deliberately sculpted to inspire exploration. There are no locations on the map that were forgotten or left behind. Each location plays its part to represent the world as a whole. Information and Specifics: This map includes only vanilla monuments and can be run under the community tab. It does not require any 3rd party dependencies, not even the RustEdit Oxide DLL. However, you will need to place the included Harmony mod in you harmony folder to prevent Cargoship from leaving the map while it docks at the northern harbor.

Made to be the quintessential map for the current generation of Rust, this isle demonstrates the effectiveness of symmetric balancing on player retention. Players LOVE this map. The recipe is simple: We asked what they wanted, and then made it. The map is perfectly balanced around the central point at launch site. Each monument has a mirror image, and loot is distributed evenly across the entire map. Player spawns circle the entire isle (except the arctic), to evenly distribute start points. Cliffs are designed to be easily climbable all over the map. Terrain is completely unique and offers a refreshing respite from repetitive procedural generated maps. This map was designed from the ground up for people who love Rust. Welcome To Isle of Rust, A Custom Rust Map! This solitary isle plays like the best procedural map you wish you had: Perfectly balanced as all things should be. The map boasts a perfect symmetry like no other, which works to promote easy starts, more encounters, and less quitting. There are no dead spots, or hotspots, or tiers. There are no unclimbable cliffs, and no chokepoints. There is plenty of loot, plenty of nodes, plenty of roads, evenly spaced. Every location is a viable base location. Highways and Maintenance A highway and railway loop encircle the island, providing easy over-land transport to any destination. As for maintenance: there is basically none. Everything is vanilla which means, you don’t need oxide, or any plugins at all. You are not dependent on updates or third parties, just use the map file and it will work. If you’re tired of waiting on updates from Rustedit, then this is the map for you. Although it is technically a 4k map, the landmass has been shrunk to the approximate size of a 3500, which feels optimal for servers running 100-300 players. Digging the Dirt The terrain feels new and fresh while keeping with the philosophy of vanilla proc-gen. It is just the right combination of familiar and custom, offering a new experience without compromising gameplay. Mostly open terrain with rocky hills, packed into one landmass creates an optimal environment to roam and search for encounters with other players. There is enough variance in the landscape to offer an ideal preferred location for every player.

Details Barnacle Reef is a small to medium-sized map (3300) designed to feel bigger than default maps at a similar size and this is done by maximizing space with more land than water and better-proportioned monuments as well as moving some space-wasting monuments underground and out to sea. all-new custom monuments to discover as well as a mixture of the default monuments scattered around creating a nice balance of looting across the map. Fully custom landscape to explore and lots of interesting places to build bases and should provide players with hours of fun. highly optimised map with a healthy entity count that will result in smooth wipe performance. I would like to say a big thank you to Steenamaroo for all his help with plugins. Railway Features a working surface railway with twin directional lines that runs around the full map and through underground tunnels and over rivers and even down to the subways and with no dead ends its perfect for other train plugin events as well as its own custom work cart and wagon spawning plugin. Map Editing Yes, you are allowed to edit the map and add stuff etc. Custom NPCs Normal RustEdit Scientist’s have been replaced with my own set of NPC’S from the various factions from the rust world (Normal Scientist, Arctic Scientist, Tunnel Dweller and Underwater Dweller) if you do not like my NPC’s simply don’t install the plug-in and supply your own with any bot plugin you want.
