Rusted Souls [RWBYxRust] RS

Three friends find themselves on Remnant, on the ass end of the planet; often referred to as Menagerie.

They are not helpless however, with strange otherworldly and dare I say reality bending if not breaking abilities.

Gifted knowledge, power, and immortality; may Oum have mercy on Remnant.

Author Note: This story is a brain bubble that keeps on bugging.

I was watching some Rust YouTube, and thought on how to bring rust abilities into a 'real' non-game-environment or at least beyond 'hit rock get '5' wood' like what is 5 wood?

Then I thought of Worm and its tinker abilities and decided to 'fuse' the two, but what IS Rust Tech, and how do I incorporate scrap into this; what is scrap even?

This spiraled down until I decided to scrap Rusts entire crafting system, keep the inventory and be ambiguous on the resources, less '100 wood' and more 'I chopped down X amount of trees and now have enough wood to build Y, the wood is stored in my inventory'. This will hopefully be explained more.

The crafting is completely different and if that turns you away, so be it.

What is the same: Building(ish) Guns (Dust and mechashift will have its place here) Respawning (bed down or spawn at origin point/random spawn on a beach of Menagerie)
