Today's Rust update will have the biggest update since the switch from Legacy to what we have now, it will be switching over to the new XP system.
What we currently have is a Blueprint system which means you go and find blueprints and blueprint fragments and with a bit of luck you learn what you need.
as of tonight it will switch to the XP system, I have not fully explored it but from what I have seen you earn XP as you Mine, Hunt, Craft etc, and you earn points, points can be spent on research from the research tree.
This way there is no luck involved you research what you want to research.
The update should drop around 7pm - 10pm GMT
