Rust Console Update 1.15 Patch Notes: Underground Trains Is Live

Rust Console Edition Update 1.15 is live, landing with the August 27 monthly wipe. This is the full launch of Underground Trains, one of the biggest updates of the year: a subway rail network beneath the island, drivable Workcarts, the new Tunnel Dwellers, and a long list of fixes and community-server additions. Here is the full breakdown.

New Features

• Underground Transit System. Subway entrances are scattered across the world, leading to a vast rail network you can travel through by Workcart.
• Workcarts. Drivable rail vehicles that run on Low Grade Fuel. Control speed and direction with the Left Stick (tap forward to speed up), with reverse and deceleration available.
• Underground Train Signals. Watch the lights: green means the track ahead is clear, yellow means a blockage further down the line, and red means an immediate blockage ahead.
• Tunnel Dwellers. A hostile NPC faction living underground, guarding the loot. You will have to fight through them to move around the network.

Improvements & Adjustments

• New Map UI layer for the underground train system
• Additional loading screens and menu background videos
• Furnace skin preview toggle via the [Y / TRIANGLE] button
• Modular Vehicles no longer collide with harvestable terrain (ore nodes, hemp, etc.)
• Large Cave areas revised to prevent instant player death
• Vending Machines now drop 50% of their contents when destroyed
• Grass now displaces when you deploy structures
• Underwear selection persists across updates
• Planter box water refill rate adjustments
• Enhanced ore node visuals (more saturated), monument and junkpile terrain blending, and Ice Lake spawn rule tweaks
• Improved Notes reporting UI

Major Fixes

• Prevented crashes when accessing the Skin Store before data loads
• Fixed Ice King and Coconut Underwear DLC pricing, so they are now purchasable
• Eliminated player de-sync from vehicles
• Holo Sight reticle no longer fades near bright objects
• Restored fishing in rivers, lakes, and oasis areas
• Player-base lighting no longer bleeds through walls, ceilings, and floors
• Restored the missing keycard reader at Oil Rigs
• Bradley APC no longer gets stuck on Launch Site obstacles
• Fixed memory leaks and multiple title crashes

Community Server Changes

Plenty here for server owners. Update 1.15 adds new spawnable content and admin commands, most of them tied to the new train system.

New spawnable monuments: Entrance Bunker A, B, C, and D.

New spawnable entities: crate_mine, marketplace, marketterminal, polarbear, roof, roof.triangle, shreddable_pickuptruck, snowmobile, submarinesolo.entity, submarineduo.entity, wall, and workcart.entity.

New commands:

• traincar.decayminutes "number" — how long train cars last before decaying
• traincar.killofftracktrains "0/1" — remove trains that leave the track
• traincar.population "number" — how many train cars spawn
• vehicle.killtrains — clear all trains
• vehicle.trainskeeprunning "0/1" — keep trains running

Two more owner-facing tweaks: kickall now affects queued and joining players too, and the Wallpaper Tool viewmodel is now visible when spectating.

Known Issues

The team has flagged a few known issues to be aware of this wipe:

• High External Walls snapping cannot be disabled
• Players occasionally stuck in terrain from sleeping bags placed at steep angles
• Underwater vehicle mounting can interfere with weapons, and Underwater Labs floor corpses can clip
• Coconut Underwear can occasionally revert or be removed
• Small Sharks and Salmon are currently unavailable for ocean fishing
• Some cave fall-through and underwater projectile accuracy issues

What This Means for Players

This is a huge wipe to jump back in for: a fresh map, a whole underground world to explore and fight over, drivable Workcarts to master, and a big stack of fixes making the game smoother. Browse the Rust Console server list to find your next server, or check Just Wiped for the freshest starts.

What This Means for Server Owners

Underground Trains is the biggest returning-player wave since World 2.0, so this is the wipe to be ready for. Announce your wipe schedule, refresh your description, and make sure your live player count is showing. You can now spawn the new monuments and entities and tune the train system on your server too.

Bottom Line

It landed with the August 27 wipe, and it is the perfect time to jump back in or get your server in front of a fresh wave of players.
