Necesse Rust & Romance Update: v1.3.1 Server Guide
Rust & Romance is live. The update adds relationship and personality systems for settlers, larger biomes, and the Scrapyard Incursion. The v1.3.1 hotfix followed shortly after release. Exact patch behavior can change, so check the current announcement before restarting a production world.
Server update checklist
- Confirm the current client and server build in the official announcement feed.
- Stop the server cleanly and take a downloadable world backup.
- Update the dedicated server files using the correct server app and let validation finish.
- Start a staging copy first if the world is important or heavily modded.
- Check settlement saves, NPC behavior, multiplayer joins, and logs before inviting the group.
What Rust & Romance changes
- Settlements: new personality and relationship systems give colony management more social depth.
- Exploration: larger biomes change travel, building, and resource planning.
- Combat: the Scrapyard Incursion adds a new activity for prepared groups.
- Compatibility: every player and the server should remain on the same supported patch line.
What is not confirmed
Do not present “World Gen 2.0,” a celestial biome, a 64-player limit, or custom WorldThreads settings as shipped features unless the current official release notes document them. Future plans can change; a server guide should describe the build players can actually install.
Hosting an updated world
- Keep a pre-update copy of the world and configuration.
- Update server and clients together; do not troubleshoot a version mismatch by changing RAM or ports.
- Use the Necesse server setup guide for the current app ID, port, config path, and launch flags.
- Test backups by restoring a copy before you need one.
Check the official Necesse announcements, then host your Rust & Romance world with Supercraft with backups and managed updates.
