A lesser man would have coward from the moment. The bravery of stepping out. Facing adversity. And saying, definitively, once and for all... That Yes, I would take sloppy toppy from my dummy hot step-sis...
Truly a feat worth reflecting on. I'll tell my kids of this moment. ☕️

I really enjoyed the part of the half life doc when they flew to ID and left with the source code to quake. There's a spirit there that I feel like they shouldn't forget, but at the same time they're just not that company anymore.
I have officially passed 50,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel. This whole thing started as a way for me to not go insane. I genuinely didn't expect to have a single subscriber let alone several. And yet... Here we are at an amount that's difficult to compute.

Thanks again for coming and hanging out while I go insane making Tea farms in Rust.
Appreciate the support. ☕️
Eventually all Rust servers will devolve into a 100 teams of 5 people sitting in their starter base waiting to hear and kill the one and only solo that farmed for loot. All while complaining in discord to each other about how no one in the game roams or raids anymore.
Eventually
Today I learned:
1. I am old.
2. When your Steam account turns 20 years old it becomes green.
Thank you for participating in this online existential crisis. ☕️
Hello. Long Writing Guy Tom here. This has been quite an extraordinary year for Ol' Tom.
When I started getting into Rust I was struggling with a myriad of difficult mental disorders that were sparked from cancer (which I no longer have), a full family I'm responsible for (which
Facepunch set up a staging server for us to check out the staging updates coming to Rust. So I took my lunch break to scoot around and check things out for you guys. ☕️

I posted my first video onto youtube exactly 1 year ago. It was edited at 4am to a random track I found on bandcamp that made me think of a fashion show. So I spliced scenes of fashion shows into a tea farm base tour and I still to this day don't know why I did that... I did do

My mic broke on day 5 and I could only communicate through typing in team chat. Instead of quitting, I decided to buck up and channel the power of

Exactly 1 year ago I celebrated 100 subscribers. Today we hit 25,000!
25k subs in a year to me is bonkers. Extremely grateful to all of you for checking it out and supporting me. I'm going to keep at it for as long as I can. ☕
Also, I updated the site:
My intro to Tea Farming video is my first video to hit 100,000 views!
I remember celebrating getting 50 views and being hyped that anyone checked it out. Now looking at this and seeing 100k just feels unreal.
Thanks for checking it out. It means a lot. ☕️
Rust has a sandbox foundation. Adding world building concepts to the game that have little effect on the core progression is fine. When you build a product, different people are in charge of different things. At my company when the robot's lidar fails to localize, the marketing
When complaining and not actively playing Rust, at some point you have to ask yourself... Did I get the $39.99 value out of the 10,000 hours of game I got in return? How much is enough? Should there be more for that less than a fraction of a penny per hour investment you made? 🤔
@garrynewman
Some UX researcher had to validate their job to a product manager and they shopped this around as a release and I have to be annoyed for a month until they inevitably change it back... It's fine.
Jumped on rustafied small. ran into a duo that just deeped an 8 man. Asked for 50 frags and tc access to put down the trophy for a picture. It still has last years rivals info... but it's in the game.
Let's fucking go. 🏆

- Rare Tier 3 Sprinklers / Lights that increase growth and yield
- New Teas (Aim Buff Tea, Night Vision Tea, Etc...)
- Triangle planter with 6 plants
- Tier 3 planters that can trigger with state of plants, a seed hopper, and hook-ups to trigger events for auto harvesting

Happy Birthday Counter Strike! 🥳
It also might be time to stop holding onto this 1.1 update CD we use to pass around because downloading on 56k took forever.
Some of my favorite gaming memories are in this game. Hope your Tea is always warm and enjoyable. ☕️
"Large" Solar Panel implies there could be a "Small" Solar panel. One that could potentially be made without tech trash and only can really power a small battery?
Would really help with early game electronics. ☕️
Did not win UHC 2024 this year. Of course the two people I went up against were

But I did get a god clone sooo who really won? ☕️
Thanks again for the invite

Jonas said he got "some skin named alien relic" and we thought he was trolling. Now our team has a cool skin for the end of Rivals. Jonas Luck top tier. ☕️

Recently probably this double layer bunker Tea Farm I built as a solo for FancyOrb's Global Warfare event. Pumped out Teas and was fail raided 3 times.
I'm good on the not F1 addition. Maybe a 30 second timer or something, but if I'm getting raided and get bagged and can't fight back... I'm going to be nonplussed to say the least.
[Rust WIP] First Look at 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐜𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐬 and 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐨𝐝
- Hood and Cuffs can be put on wounded players
- Handcuffing someone locks their inventory in place, prevent F1 Killing, enables them to get pushed
- Hood severely limits vision and blocks opening the map
In the DayZ/Rust-like multiplayer game Duckside, you not only play as ducks, but as the developers put it, "it’s about getting into the mind of a duck. Being a duck. Feeling the cold steel of a machine gun on your feathers." 🦆

If you disconnect a water truck from a water barrel, you can drive that truck anywhere and it still continues to get water. So, I used this exploit to build a Tea farm on top of a mountain in the middle of a desert. It was tough... ☕️

I like to jump on servers and run around for a couple of minutes just for the hell of it. I ran into a very toxic duo who killed me twice and was just absolute dicks about it. So I farmed up a bow, domed 'em, and despawned all their starter loot. Rust is a fun game sometimes.
@Dexerto
Goated map.
Weird CS trivia: fy_ wasn't short for "Fight Yard" or anything like that. It was actually a signature of the map maker FantasY. Which became the standard naming convention for all small fast maps.
I spent a very long time working on this video, but here it is. Advanced Tea Farming with TeaGuyTom.

Everything you need to know about building a large Tea Farm with a bit of pizzazz. Thanks for checking it out. ☕️
I may not be the best player in Rust. I may fumble the bag constantly... but I did try my best to make a good Tea Farm as a Solo for a Week. ☕

Using the new plant-all update
@playrust
added, I made the most Compact Tea Farm possible as a Solo on Force wipe on Vanilla.
It was a bit rough, but I pulled it off.
I'm really proud of this one, so give it a watch if you have time.☕️

So at the end of this year I made a summary of 2023. In the very end I threw in the joke that maybe I'll make a Tea Farm with
@shroud
as a... Ye know... Joke.
Welp, I uhhh... Did. I did do that. It was fun. He's a solid dude.
Ok, back to editing. Tea is Life. ☕️
Got sent this farm to review called "Thomas the Dank Engine". Built on AU long by Smax. Where it lacks in scale and efficiency it makes up with character. Solid farm. ☕️
Someone in my community added my TEA garage door skin to their server and it looks cool as hell.
Now we just need to light a candle and hope that
@playrust
will one day add it as a drop.
I'm terrible at flying in Rust. So I joined up with
@KoalaHasTwitta
to do things a farm has never seen before. Thanks for giving it a watch. ☕

@PirateSoftware
I do the same for my team. It's the right thing to do. My team may just be me, my wife, and kids... but look. They deserve it. ☕️
Look... I like making tea farms in Rust. It's fun for me. I never thought a 1,000 people would also enjoy it enough to subscribe. Very grateful to every Tea Believer out there! Tea is Life. ☕️
I've participated in a lot of
@FancyOrb_
events and I will say one thing. He really does his absolute best to make it a fun experience for as many people as possible. For both participants and viewers.
Global Warfare 2 was no different. Always quality. Nice work! ☕️
