Is there a way to transfer the skins from the family share account to our main rust account?
Then make it so that in the game you can choose the gender of the character. I created another account, just to play a male character, not a female one!
And why is it disabled?
1stly WHY
2ndly that's really dumb in my opinion
Why would this need to happen, now I can't play on my account...
etele99hun I want to appeal the ban on steam fiokok rust my profile was stolen but I still want to unlock my profile.
Ha wont be doing anymore business with these guys anymore. Me nor my friends, thanks!
I want to play as the guy on my second account, because he looks like jesus
If you ask me Facepunch is a group of aholes who don't care about what you want only what they want. proven by forcing someone to play as female or made people loose a lot of skins and hours in family share. If there was an alternative to rust that was more open ended and listens to their customers I'd be there.
this is completely outrageous and haram, you need to fix this A S A P RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why? will this option return? will an option allowing me to play as a woman of color be allowed in the future? I love this game but am a little disapointed that i am forced to play as a white man with a big beard.
good evening I have a problem earlier I was hacked after a while I restored the account but the cracker playing the game rast it for banili now I can't play what should I do?
-Dear angry player
The reason I think face punch disabled family share was because of hackers you know cheaters people with ESP ,AIMBOT ,and NOCLIP and many others, a person could evade a game ban by family sharing with another account also known as a alt. This would allow them to keep hacking, do to the hack client just needing a game. But to be fair face punch should have warned there players that this was going to happen, so the player base could move there skins to main accounts, But this was a good thing over all and I'm sure this will be fixed when there is a way to stop hackers from using family sharing as a way to evade bans and continue to ruin the game play of severs.

Day 4,420,699,000 of wanting to change my character.... still no hope. Redownloaded the game because friends wanted to try it out, now we all uninstalled it because of the stupid character feature.
I also love the "reasoning" behind it.... "it's just like real life, you can't control it!"
Well yeah, then why do I get murdered in the game and respawn? And if that isn't crazy enough, then why would I be "reincarnated" back into the same exact person I was in my last life?
And, if it's just like in real life then why aren't some characters dead before they are born(spawn)? Why don't some characters have horrible diseases and illnesses preventing them from doing a majority of the things you can do in game?
This is the laziest and stupidest reason I've ever heard from any company and it's annoying that they are some of the laziest people in the gaming industry. They can't make an update with a character maker added into the game? Bunch of bs.
I wanted to set my daughter up with a profile so she could begin to explore the PVE environment. This is outrageous that you've essentially moved from a per-host licensing to a per-seat licensing model. What options are available, where I can allow her steam profile to use my single install.
Honestly, it would just make more sense to throttle account switching, or link accounts that are shared family profiles so if you ban one, you ban all, instead of removing this feature.
@Facepunch - Please review your decision and find a different way to address this issue.
This does nothing but keep the honest person from being able to play. Cheaters, hackers or anyone else with nefarious intentions will still find a way.
I was the one who asked to block family mode, claiming that I was earning items on an account without the RUST in family mode
