Gravis Island was developed with the intention of creating a familiar Rust experience while expanding on the idea of focusing on in-game items that are currently underutilized. Everything that has been placed on this map was hand-done by four veterans in the Rust Map Making scene. This experience was more than just making something fun for players, but a great team-building experience where we got to know each other more and shared some great laughs along the way.

The map we made has some small additions to monuments we feel could help increase foot traffic, while also giving more reasons to explore more of the map. We implemented a network of mountain tunnels to allow the players to traverse the landscape in an easier way, with small wooden bridges, military checkpoints, and more. To prepare for the future submarine update, we instituted ocean-based monuments players could visit on their explorations out at sea.

Just adding new content wasn’t our only focus, user playability, performance, and progression was a key component in our initial planning stages. We conceptualized many mockups of different styles of maps until our team felt we had something that was balanced. Our progression begins on the southwest of the map and cascades to the northeast. As a player moves from one side to the other, they will be met with better tier monuments and more difficult challenges along the way. The map also features a handful of various islands that players can travel to if they prefer the more secluded lifestyle.

Every aspect of this map was handcrafted from beginning to end. We are very proud of what we accomplished in the two weeks we worked on this together and had a wonderful time making it.

    Quick question, can this map be used with the vanilla server? Without extensions and addons. I am running a vanilla server

    (Author response)
    Yes, however you still need oxide installed so the included plugin can be loaded. But you can set “Modded” to false within your oxide config so you can still be 100% alright on the community tab :)

    We will use this map on our server RustSpain Vanilla Medium. That from today will become official with our Vanilla Main server.

    One of the best Rust maps I’ve ever played on. Going to be running it on my solo server, now! Jeremy’s Vanilla Solo. Thanks to the creators for this polished, balanced and beautiful map!

    One of the very few maps where I don’t have any changes or fix to do before launching it on my server, it’s precise, detailed, very well balanced, the quality of this map is clearly worth the price, don’t hesitate a second !

    Well done guys !

    So worth its’ price. The level of polish is amazing. Usually I have to patch holes in maps I buy, not with this one. Amazing job, it deserves the recognition it got and then some.

    Beautiful map as soon as I saw the presentation of Shadow, I tried it on the official server… I was delighted… One of the best modified maps I’ve seen, without exaggeration but with all the difference and quality… I just bought it, I’ll start using it on the next wipe on 12/02/2021 on the server: RusTuga [PT/EU] 3x/ Better Loot/ No decay [PvP/PvE/RP]

    Hello! First off we appreciate your feedback and certainly want to grow from it. I do want to point out a few things regarding this however.

    We’ve never heard of any frame drop issue on any part of this map and bear in mind it ran on quite a few official servers and very high pop modded servers with no reports of this. I’m sure if you’re experiencing this then there’s a cause. But we’d need more to work with such as (does this persist when there’s no plugins loaded asides from the included one with the map?) some plugins can impact server and even client performance so that would be helpful. We have not been able to replicate this when testing just now.

    Similar issue with the patrol heli. We have never been able to reproduce this bug you’ve experienced nor was it ever reported on any other servers that have or are hosting this map.

    Resource spawn is nearly identical to a procedural map in terms of total amount, so some areas will be sparse of resources and more dense in other areas. This is intentional.

    Regarding the cold on cargo, that’s 100% vanilla and we have no ability to modify or impact the cold or temperature values received within biomes.

    Regarding the Oxums gas station floating and other minor detail imperfections we also have not heard of any as well asides from you mentioning oxums to us for the first time we’ve heard which must be quite minor.

    And yes the tunnels with horses is totally out of our power there. Unfortunately only cars and oddly helis can go through tunnels.

    In short, would love to hear back from you on our discord with a support ticket regarding the specifics of the bugs you’ve mentioned as we, nor others have been able to reproduce them. Also to hear about other imperfections you mentioned when you mentioned the oxums statement. We try our best, but map making with a 3rd party tool for a game will never yield triple A results as we only are able to work with the tools at hand some qwerks and bugs will happen and we can try to patch or work around them in some sort :)

    Wish players could build closer to a lot of these custom monuments and needs a lot more bots at custom monuments.

    • Lone

      We appreciate the feedback. We sized the Prevent Build volume very similar to Rust’s monuments so that way people don’t build too close, or have to build too far away.

      Regarding the NPC’s at custom monuments, we’d love to, however, there are issues that come up when doing that which are out of our control (such as NPC’s roaming off until they hit the edge of the map) unless a custom plugin is made which is another dependency we prefer not to add as we wanted this map to work seamlessly asides from the protection plugin :)

    Cool map. Running @ http://www.rustallica.com. Would be better with the excavator imo.

    i followed the instructions to the letter to install the map. and it wont work, keep getting, server not responding, the server works fine when i remove the map so its not the server. i tried to get some support to get the map to work but they just ignored my plea for help, so the map might be good but the support is lousy.

    This is one of the best maps myself and my players have ever used! Roads that connect in a more efficient way that makes driving fun, actual content to do in the oceans other than just a lab, zip lines for more fun in exploring environments, and monument placement that makes sense with good combat elements? You will not regret buying this map!

    After owning this map for some time the needed improvements and updates are not addressed. I would not purchase this map.

Map FAQ – How do I host this .zip/.7z file I just purchased on my server?

• First, you want to unzip the file. You can do so by just double-clicking it to open, then drag the contents to the desired location (you may need to install an external unzipping software if you don’t already have one)
• Next you will find either a structure of folders or just the .map file itself (it’s the important one).
• Once the .map is uploaded to dropbox simply copy the share link attached to it.
• You will first start off by uploading the .map file to an online hosting provider, I’ll include dropbox since it’s easy to get started with.
• Once you’ve copied the link paste it into your server’s startup .bat (batch) file. (You can leave the worldsize/seed. Custom maps override proc gen parameters)
• Example “levelurl “https:// www dropbox dot com/s/sdfagbragae/testmapname.map?dl=1”
• Make SURE the dl=0 at the end is changed to dl=1 otherwise players won’t be able to join!
• Now just start your server and it’ll boot right up! Below I’ll attach a video that goes more in-depth on hosting custom maps vs proc gen maps since it’s a tad different

Additionally, here’s a great video that easily covers hosting a custom map for the first time if you need it! https://youtu.be/y9vNvOIPyVM

• Installation is not included with any products on the site, however, if needed we may assist if you reach out to our support.
• If the product contains a plugin file (.cs) it’s advised to have it installed prior to booting your server with the map you purchased

Currently all products on Lone.Design will be contained within a zipped file which is the .7z or .zip that you see. I believe windows 10 and up can unzip on its own without 3rd party tools, but in that case, if you’re unfamiliar with zipped files here are 2 programs I recommend to easily unzip zipped files.

Video On How to Zip and Unzip: https://youtu.be/Ep-L3PjBPCk (TechInsider Youtube Channel)

Zipping/Unzipping Tools
Winrar https://www.rarlab.com (I used to use for years, but works great!)
7zip https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z2107-x64.exe (the one I use currently)
