Bar Games Pack: pool, darts, and bar decor

The pack’s main items are the Pool Table and Dart board. Both are interactive games that can be placed at a base. Play solo or with others in real time, and set a score that other players can try to beat.

Facepunch provided more detail on how to play pool. One or two players can use the table. Place it like any other placeable item, then move around it and jump onto the table to line up a shot. Choose the power and move the mouse upward to send the cue ball rolling. Standard pool rules apply. The announcement confirms that darts is interactive and tracks scores, but doesn’t explain the controls in as much detail.

The pack also includes an interactive Juke Box, skins for Mini Fridge and Shotgun Trap, special bar stools, themed wallpaper, and sprays. Bar Games Pack is available through the game and the Rust Item Store on Steam. The announcement section received 175 positive votes and 43 negative votes.

Stone Sculpture: players carve their own designs

Stone Sculpture is a separate add-on, not part of Bar Games Pack. It’s an interactive placeable item: players chip away at the stone and gradually carve it into the shape they choose. Unlike a ready-made decoration, its appearance depends on the owner’s work. Facepunch suggests using it as a personal monument or simply carving whatever you want to see at your base.

Stone Sculpture is available to buy in-game or from the Rust Item Store on Steam. The announcement doesn’t list a price. This section received 140 positive votes and 52 negative votes. The share of negative votes is higher here than in the Small Backpack section, though the votes themselves don’t explain why players feel that way.

Small Backpack: a base for Workshop skins

Small Backpack is now available for skin creation in the Rust Workshop. This is primarily news for creators: Facepunch says to open the in-game Workshop, find Small Backpack, download its model file, and add custom materials. The announcement describes the backpack as wearable, but the Workshop instructions refer to it as placeable—the descriptions conflict within the same section.

This is about making a template available for creators, not announcing any specific new skins. The section received 157 positive votes and 13 negative votes. The full Facepunch announcement lists the other Power Trip changes, including those related to the power plant and map events.
