This month see's one heck of a huge quality of life update, (read below for a full list of updates and fixes) Rust's 9th Birthday on the 11th where you will find a birthday cake instead of a rock when you spawn, party hats and balloons floating over junk piles around the map.
Around mid December we should see the Rust Xmas Event starting which is looking good for the return of the tried and tested Xmas shenanigans and possibly some new ones.

Ensure the 1 lab which spawns is as large as possible

Raiding
Armoured door & double door hp buffed from 800 to 1000 (Was 2 C4 to blow through, now it’s 3 C4)
External walls and gates now have debris blockers which prevent spamming down new items (last for 120 seconds and have 300 health - so can be destroyed sooner with a jackhammer)

MLRS rocket 40 -> 60
HE grenades 5 -> 60

General QoL
Updated T3 workbench deploy guide (now uses complete model)
Updated stone gate deploy guide (now includes rotated doors to indicate open direction)
External walls and gates can now be rotated 90° instead of 180° before deployment
Removed condition from most electrical entities so they stack easily when picked up (doesn't apply to batteries, solar panels, windmills, turrets, etc)
Garage door no longer requires a hammer to be equipped to be picked up, still requires building auth and lock removed - In line with other doors
Reduced the crafting time for all grenades
Reduced the crafting time for embrasures

Show "X days" of upkeep after 72 hours (rather than > 72 hrs)
Add radial option to Harvest/Clone/Clear all plants in a planter. Will apply that action to all valid plants in the planter eg, if 2 out of 9 plants are harvestable using Harvest All will only affect those 2 plants. The option will only appear if at least one other plant in the planter is at the same stage as the plant being looked at
Removed un-harvestable tree entities from giant excavator scene
Add a different, slightly darker material to the Hemp ripe stage so it looks different to Fruiting
Made custom icons for each type of berry clone to better differentiate each color

Sam site can passthrough power (use it to detect destroyed sam sites not power multiple)
Stone spear is cheaper to craft. Reduce stone spear crafting time
Removed chair static from Tunnel Dwelling E - Fixes chairs leaking to world origin
Miners hat now offers better protection values
