Ferry Terminal Monument Guide For Rust – Future Uses, Loot, & More

Every monument in Rust serves its fair purpose, whether it’s Mining Outpost to quickly loot and recycle, or Sewer Branch to progress to the blue card stage, every place holds a purpose and is strategically designed and built by the developer at Facepunch. The Ferry Terminal is no different, it holds a fair amount of loot, will introduce a brand new mechanic to the game, and is along the coast which is easier for some to visit! Let’s dive in to see what this waterside monument has to offer.

Overview Of The Ferry Terminal Monument

Let’s start with a very important detail, the Ferry Terminal is still pending a large machanic that Facepunch has not implemented yet which is referred to as “Nexus”. Nexus as interpreted from what we’ve been told will be a multi-server system that will allow server owners to inner-connect their servers straight from the Ferry Terminal monument, allowing you to travel from one server to another from a ferry ride. The details on what gear can be brought over (if any) are all still pending. The only thing we know currently is that the Nexus system will be used in a later update to connect multiple servers together to bring an entirely different machine to the game that no other monument even comes close to comparing to.

Location

As expected, the Ferry Terminal will be located strictly at the coastal edge of any given map and will be indicated accordingly on your in-game map if you press the default key, “G”. It should be connected to the primary road network, as well as the underground train system.
