'''Temporal Stability''' is a game mechanic that measures how close the player is to the [[Rust World]]. It is represented through a blue gear icon above the player's hotbar, and the less blue area there is the more temporally unstable the player is. As it gradually dips, different effects start happening to the player, with monster spawns becoming more frequent. If it drains completely, the player enters the Rust World, causing visual distortions and continually damaging the player's health until they regain some temporal stability.

Temporal Stability can be restored through the use of a [[temporal gear]]. These are either acquired through killing [[drifter]]s or through [[trading]].

Another way to restore temporal stability is simply by killing [[drifter]]s. Stronger drifters restore more temporal stability. However, this is only a temporary measure, similar to sacrificing a temporal gear.

There are a few different ways to survive a temporal storm if you are not ready to fight your way through one.

==== Hiding ==== <!--T:9-->
==== Hiding ==== <!--T:9-->
Hiding in a box, such as your cellar, is a good way to survive, as long as you ensure there is not enough space for enemies to spawn inside with you. Alternatively, you can use bottom slabs on the floor, as drifters can not spawn on these.

Stacking on a lot of blocks and pillaring high prevents drifters from being able to reach you. The pillar should be high enough to be outside of rock-throwing range.

Digging a moat around yourself that is at least 2 blocks deep and wide so you are left standing on a pillar allows you to trap [[drifter]]s for easy killing later on. Keep in mind that more vicious foes might have a higher reach, so you should consider how high above your trapped enemies you want to be. With the new drifter pathfinding, they might not fall into your trap readily however. To trick their senses, try lining the edge of your trap and your pillar with trapdoors. The drifters will interpret the trapdoors as a path they could take towards you, even when said doors are opened, leaving an unbridgeable hole.

==== Sleeping ==== <!--T:12-->
If <code>temporalStormSleeping</code> in the [[worldconfig|World Config]] is enabled, you can easily sleep your way through a temporal storm. Just wait until the 'temporal storm is imminent' message appears, and then go to sleep. When you wake up the storm should either be completely gone or nearly over.

== Unstable regions == <!--T:13-->
In the world there exists regions which are more temporally unstable than the surroundings. In these areas, a player's temporal stability will drain much faster, and they will be subject to more dangers. These are a lot more common underground, the deeper the player is, the more temporally unstable the underground is likely to be.
