The Problem

So, whenever you wanted to give someone a nice item in Rustdroid using players actions menu while long pressing on a players nickname within the Players-Tab:

It gave you a list of items, something like:

Which totally looks ugly and obviously broken.

The Solution

Reason for that was a behind the scenes working automation pulling items from THIS, adding the ShortName of the items (the internal name of the item), by using THIS and all together saving it somewhere on the internet. At first it worked quite well, so nobody needed to keep track of new items in Rust, but then it broke. So we changed gear to using a semi-automatic system now where we have more control over and can even correct errors or add new items really fast.

And the best thing, this happens all without you needing to update the app itself!
