💰 Economy of UKR RUST UA: A Guide to Survival and Wealth
The main rule of the server: Your capital and best loot are safe from raids if you use the Bank and Storage!
The entire financial system of the server is based on three things: ATM, Storage, and Store.
🪙 Server Currencies: How Does Money Work?
🔩 Scrap — a building and crafting resource in the game. You buy a Bank Card from the NPC (50 scrap), study blueprints at the workbench, and pay for container rentals in the storage. It does not circulate in the ATM's exchange.
🎖️ Victory Coin (COPPER) — a combat coin. It is earned through events, battles, and task completions. It's meant for purchasing consumables in the shop: ammo, meds, and food.
🪙 Cossack Coin (GOLD) — the main currency of the server! Used to buy top-tier weapons, armor, tools, and important items.
💎 Cossack Token (DONATION CURRENCY) — a premium virtual note for large capital.
🔄 Transparent exchange rate (NO COMMISSION):
1 Cossack Token (DONATION CURRENCY) = 100 Cossack Coins = 1000 Victory Coins or 1 UAH
1 Cossack Coin = 10 Victory Coins
10 Victory Coins = 1 Cossack Coin
💡 Pure exchange, 0% commission: The ATM exchanges coins precisely, with no hidden fees or losses! Break tokens into smaller coins for consumables or combine coins into tokens with a single click.
💳 Bank Card: Your Key to the ATM
The ATM serves players only with a Bank Card.
How to get the card (no chat commands needed):
Find the green marker "BANK ATM UKR RUST UA" on the map (key G).
An NPC Steward (Storage) always stands near the ATM.
Approach the NPC and press the interaction key E.
In the menu's top panel, click the "BUY BANK CARD" button (cost — 50 scrap).
The card is added to your inventory. Purchase it once—carry it with you to access the ATM!
🏧 ATM: Coin Exchange and Impenetrable Safe
The ATM operates through live physical interactions in the Rust world.
How to open: Approach the ATM, holding the bank card, and swipe it through the reader.
ATM tabs:
💱 Coin Exchange: Exchange between Victory Coins, Cossack Coins, and Economics Tokens with no commission or delay.
🛡️ Bank Vault:
Absolute raid protection: You can store up to 100,000 coins of each type here.
Coins in the vault are tied to your personal bank account. Even if you’re killed on the road and your base is blown up with rockets — your money in the vault remains untouched!
🏬 Storage: Regular and Wipe Containers (Transfer Between Wipes!)
The storage is for safely keeping physical items: guns, explosives, armor, components, and valuable resources.
How to use: Approach the NPC Storekeeper near the ATM and press the E key.
📦 Two types of containers in storage:
🔒 Regular Containers (Storage during the current wipe):
Personal non-raidable safes for items during the active wipe.
Raiders will never reach loot hidden in storage lockers.
If needed, call the container home with a signal rocket and parachute.
⏳ Wipe Containers (NON-DECAY PROTECTION AND TRANSITION TO NEXT WIPE!):
The main advantage for progression: Everything you put in the Wipe Container does NOT disappear during the server wipe and fully transfers to the next wipe!
Before a wipe, load your top weapons, armor, workbenches, and resources into the container.
On the next wipe, when others are running around with stones, you visit the NPC Storage — and immediately pick up the ready gear to dominate the map!
⚠️ STRICT STORAGE PROHIBITION — NO COINS ALLOWED:
The storage is only for items and resources.
Coins cannot be stored in the storage! If you attempt to put coins into the storage container, the system will block the action and return the coins to your pocket. All coins must be stored exclusively in the Bank Safe of the ATM!
🛒 Shop (/shop): The Only Chat Command on the Server
All financial operations and storage are managed through live interactions with terminals in the game world, while the shop is accessible remotely at any moment:
Type /shop in the chat.
The top panel displays your coin balance.
Choose the desired category:
Victory Coins — bullets, med kits, food, and consumables.
Cossack Coins — weapons, armor, tools.
Economics / Tokens — unique and premium lots.
