All the farming, raiding and yes, the salt of the new year is over. As usual here is some images of some of the bases found on the server. There are some amazing designs out there.
The biggest story during this wipe was the successful shop managed and run by Moxi and QUIET but this is rust and the shop was raided.
The Next wipe brings server and client improvements and some new toys.

Voodoo Gaming has been put in to disrepute due to one of the Rust Moderators.
SavageNoodle used his Moderators Tools to give him self Admin rights on the Rust VOODOO server.
During a raid that took place on the 21 December 2018 SavageNoodle was logged in as admin in game and had GOD mode activated.
We asked for the raid to be stopped. The VG team pulled back from the raid.
SavageNoodle have been banned from all Voodoo Gaming Servers and portals. Voodoo Gaming Will not allow any cheating on any of our servers.
SavageNoodle - Permanent Rust Admin Ban for Cheating and Admin Abuse.
We at Voodoo Gaming apologise for the inconvenience caused and hope the everyone continue to play Rust on the Voodoo Gaming Server.

We have been doing tests to find out what the cause of the issues are.
It was not what we thought it would be.
First we had to check the server hardware to make sure the server can run the Rust server application. We confirmed that the hardware can run the server application.
The next step was to check if there was any data centre issues and the data centre reported that there are no issues and everything is running 100%. No network lag reported.
The last step was to check the server configuration and settings and here we found a lot of information pointing to the following possible causes.
Rust servers have a limit of how many Entities it can handle and how many new entities it can handle at the same time.
The longer the server upkeep time is on a server the bigger the bases are and bigger bases mean more entities. On busy servers this can cause server lag when players in big bases build fast or all players build at the same time.
Default Decay.upkeep_period_minutes “1440” (How many minutes does the upkeep cost last? 1440 = 24 Hours)
Current Decay.upkeep_period_minutes “9000” 6.25 Times longer than the default
All the suggestions point to returning the server Decay.upkeep_period_minutes back to the default setting.
The Current server Map Size is bigger than the suggested maximum map size of 3000.
Next wipe pick a map with a maximum map size of 3000.
Buy Maximum number of slots from the hosting Company.
Our hope is that the first step will resolve the server performance.
