Rust Raid Calculator
Pick the pieces you need to break through and the explosives you can use to see how many of each it takes, the sulfur cost and the cheapest plan.
Explosive counts come from each piece's durability data, the same numbers its building page lists. Sulfur and resource costs come from each explosive's crafting recipe, resolved through Explosives and Gun Powder down to raw materials.
1. Targets
2. Explosives You Can Use
Loot-only and no-sulfur explosives show how many it takes, but plans only use sulfur-based ones.
3. Raid Plan
Add a target from the list to start, or pick a common one:
Totals
Totals appear once the plan has a target.

The Rust raid calculator works out how many rockets, C4, satchel charges, explosive ammo, beancans or any other explosive it takes to destroy each building piece, door, hatch, high wall and window, what that costs in sulfur, and the cheapest way to do it - including mixed combinations. Explosive counts come from each target's own durability data, and costs from each explosive's crafting recipe broken down to raw sulfur, charcoal, metal fragments and the rest.

From each explosive's crafting recipe, resolved all the way down: C4 is made of Explosives, Explosives of Gun Powder, Gun Powder of sulfur and charcoal. The calculator multiplies through every step (Gun Powder crafts ten at a time) and adds up the raw sulfur at the bottom.
Yes - damage from different explosives adds up, so a piece can be finished with something cheaper once a big charge has done most of the work. The calculator searches every combination of the explosives you allow for the one with the least total sulfur, and shows it next to the cheapest single explosive.
They craft in batches - explosive 5.56 ammo, cannonballs, mortar shells and torpedoes all make more than one per craft - so costs are shown per unit, and the totals say how many crafts that works out to.
