Rust's recently added rainforest is so dense the developers changed how resources spawn because players couldn't find them: 'The jungle was a bit too good at being a jungle'

A tiger peers at the camera through some foliage in Rust.

Atavistic survival sim Rust recently added a whole new area to get brutally murdered in while running around naked—a rainforest. Not only is this Rust's snazziest biome, it's also by far the busiest from an environmental perspective, far thicker in vegetation than the game's other areas, as you would expect from a jungle. This makes it a uniquely hazardous playspace, offering ambush opportunities aplenty for both players and prowling animals like crocodiles and tigers.

Indeed, developer Facepunch Studios cautioned players about the dangers of the jungle on launch, stating on its website "The jungle is much denser than what you may be used to, so be aware that dangers and predators may lurk in every corner." As it turns out, though, players have been far more concerned with another problem—Rust's jungle is so dense that they can't find any resources in it.
