Big update in Rust: new build pieces, a reworked tech tree and a fresh power source, the water wheel that generates electricity from currents (freshwater output is steadier, ocean output depends on tides).

The Armoured Ladder Hatch arrived: an armored ladder‑hatch unlocked at the 3rd tech level, available in square and triangle shapes. The wheel can be placed in rivers or the ocean and, by abusing mechanics, players can force enemies...

A new update hit Rust: you can turn a water wheel into a makeshift generator and even force enemies to run inside it like hamsters, WILD 🐿️

Added Armoured Ladder Hatch (unlocks at level 3, square and triangle), a river/ocean power source (fresh water is steadier, sea output follows tides), and a reworked tech tree: pick any node, see the full path and the game auto-unlocks all required intermediate recipes. Nice QoL.

For the stern hatch, I bought much larger, sturdier, brass sliding bolts.

Oak is hard wood, so it took a chisel and mallet, drill, hacksaw, and screwdriver to mount them. But it wasn't difficult.

Opening the hatch takes only 2 seconds—faster than I imagine it takes to open an airplane's emergency exit. It's satisfying to have a decent locking mechanism on the hatch that doesn't block emergency egress.🔥
