In the cutthroat world of Rust, where players raid bases and steal loot, one gamer delivered an unforgettable goodbye to server neighbors. UniverseBear constructed a massive, illuminated middle finger atop a towering structure made of corrugated iron and concrete.
The Animated Gesture
The structure features an animated display powered by industrial lights. Timers cycle the lights to raise the middle finger from a clenched fist, creating a bold flashing animation visible across the server.
UniverseBear explains the mechanics: “Basically, it’s lots of timers with various blocks connected to timer starters so that some timers only start when others are done.” A counter resets the system every 100 cycles to prevent desynchronization. “There’s most likely a much more efficient way to do this,” UniverseBear adds.
A Tradition for Successful Wipes
This build marks the end of a server wipe, a periodic reset in Rust. “Making one of these is often how I like to end a successful wipe,” UniverseBear states, turning rivalry into spectacle.
Community Applause
Players praise the creation. “Truly a thing of beauty,” comments FlashFlash100yd. phish32786 echoes, “This is the level of petty I play for.” In Rust, such gestures stand out amid constant conflict.
Upcoming Rust Updates
Rust gears up for 2026 highlights, including the naval update delayed from 2025. Expected soon, it introduces shipbuilding, naval combat, and piracy elements tailored to player antics.
