Introducing the “ASIC Miner” mod for Rust – an exciting addition that brings a new layer of strategy and competition to the game. With this mod, players will encounter “ASIC Miners” scattered across monuments on the map, presenting a 10% chance of spawning in loot chests at these locations.
Once discovered, these miners can be transported back to your base where they can be set up to generate passive income, simulating the real-life benefits of ASIC mining without the accompanying power costs.
Each miner contributes to a leaderboard, with their earnings resetting every 24 hours. However,
securing these valuable assets is crucial, as they can be stolen during raids.

This mechanic transforms gameplay into a dynamic strategy akin to capture the flag – holding the miners not only grants income but also becomes a focal point for team cooperation and defense. Moreover, players can enhance their miners with two upgrade options: Fans and Solar Panels.

These upgrades, visibly placed on the exterior of the base and connected through electricity or Tool Cupboard (TC) range, increase the miner’s productivity, adding another layer of tactical decision-making to the game.

The “ASIC Miner” mod promises to revolutionize Rust gameplay, encouraging teamwork, strategy, and resource management in the pursuit of wealth and dominance.
