Mail Box

The Mail Box in Rust is an in-game item designed for players to leave messages or cassettes for each other. This useful feature allows for communication between players, especially on large servers where direct contact might be challenging.

Its unique design means it can be placed on various surfaces, providing flexibility in positioning. The Mail Box has a special section that only accepts notes and cassettes. Players who do not have building rights to the structure it's placed on will see a single slot to deposit their items. In contrast, those with building privileges can fully access the Mail Box, retrieving any contents left inside by others.

An intuitive feature of the Mail Box is the small red flag on its side. This flag is raised automatically when an item is deposited, signaling to everyone that the Mail Box contains something. Once a privileged player checks the Mail Box, the flag will lower, indicating that it has been reviewed, even if not emptied. This visual cue is essential for managing in-game communications efficiently.

Extra Tips: Utilize the Mail Box to coordinate with teammates or to leave information for other inhabitants of the island. It's a secure way to transfer items without the risk of them being looted by passersby, as long as the Mail Box is placed within a secured area. Always check the flag for incoming messages, and remember to lower it after checking to keep the communication flow clear.
