Iron Wastes

Iron Wastes is a gritty first-person survival sandbox inspired by Rust. Gather wood, stone and ore, craft from a 1,400-item catalogue, build modular bases with Tool Cupboard privilege, loot 80 monuments across five puzzle tiers with new crates and keycard vaults, and fight for your life against players, bots and 41 world events.

Pick a server from 36 worlds across 6 continents. Every server wipes each Friday at 3:00 PM CST.

Skin Shop: every gun, melee weapon and tool has 20 skins, bought with Iron Gems earned at 1 gem per 5 minutes of active play.

54 guns, 72 attachments, 85 tools, 400+ clothing and armor pieces and backpacks. Desktop keyboard and mouse.

New in 2.0: hunger, thirst, cold and heat to manage; 18 ways to raid (satchels, timed charges, rockets, rams, thermite, acid and more); a full inventory with armor and clothing slots and a crafting queue; rebindable controls, controller mapping and tabbed settings; every item now has its own description and stats. Servers hold 30 players; NPCs never count.

New in 3.0: a Rust-style crafting menu with search, category filters and a 5-tier workbench tech tree; spatial voice chat with team channels and handheld radios; NPC guards that patrol and stay inside their monuments with difficulty matched to monument tier; your PlayDrop name everywhere, no typing; live weather, fog and rain, distinct biomes and moodier monuments.

New in 5.0: press M for the full-screen island map; on death pick a random shoreline spawn or any sleeping bag or bed you placed; craft with a 3D preview of each item; research blueprints only at placed Workbenches; guards no longer see through walls; new arm animations and a torch with real flame.
