Console commands for the F1 menu or RCON. Source: a community-maintained export of Rust's own generated command metadata - treat this as a helpful reference, not an exhaustive one.

Settings for your own game you can change from the F1 console: frame rate, field of view, graphics, sound and controls. Each shows its default value.

`global.underwater_cinematic`	(Generated) When enabled, enables additional cinematic underwater visual effects for cinematography use; admin-only	global	variable	`False`
`global.underwater_effect`	(Generated) When enabled, applies the underwater post-processing effect (distortion, colour grade) when the camera is submerged; admin-only client setting	global	variable	`True`
`global.underwater_scatter`	(Generated) Multiplier for underwater light scatter intensity; 1.0 = default, 0 = no scatter; admin-only cinematic control	global	variable	`1`
`global.usesingleitempickupnotice`	use a single item pickup notice instead of spawning multiple for each resource picked up	global	variable	`True`
`global.warmupconcurrency`		global	variable	`1`
`global.woundedfreecam`	If true, can use F3 camera changes while in wounded state	global	variable	`False`
`graphics.af`	(Generated) Anisotropic filtering level 1-16; higher values improve texture sharpness at oblique angles at a minor GPU cost; 1 = disabled	graphics	variable	`1`
`graphics.aggressiveshadowlod`	(Generated) When enabled, shadow LOD switching is more aggressive, reducing shadow detail at shorter distances to improve GPU shadow rendering performance	graphics	variable	`True`
`graphics.aggressiveshadowlodwearable`	(Generated) When enabled, wearable item renderers use the aggressive shadow LOD mode, disabling their shadow casting at shorter distances than normal	graphics	variable	`True`
`graphics.allowthreadedtexturecreation`	(Generated) When enabled, textures can be created on background threads; disable to force all texture creation to the main thread for debugging	graphics	variable	`True`
`graphics.biomefogdensityscale`	(Generated) Admin-only: global density multiplier for biome-specific ground fog; 1.0 = default, 0 = no fog	graphics	variable	`1`
`graphics.biomefogterrainmapcache`	(Generated) When enabled, the biome fog terrain map is cached between frames; disable to force a fresh terrain map read every frame for debugging	graphics	variable	`True`
`graphics.branding`	(Generated) When enabled, shows the Facepunch/Rust branding watermark on screen	graphics	variable	`True`
`graphics.chat`	(Generated) When enabled, the chat window is displayed; also gated by global.canChat	graphics	variable	`True`
`graphics.collapserenderers`	Collapse objects on renderer LODs for memory savings. Game needs to be restarted after changing.	graphics	variable	`True`
`graphics.compass`	Compass display mode: 0 = hidden, 1 = always visible, 2 = visible whilst Compass keybind is held, 3 = visible when Compass keybind is toggled	graphics	variable	`1`
`graphics.contactshadows`	(Generated) When enabled, renders screen-space contact shadows to add fine-detail shadows at object contact points not covered by shadow maps	graphics	variable	`False`
`graphics.detailed_postprocessing_profiling`	(Generated) When enabled, outputs detailed per-pass profiling data for the post-processing stack to the profiler; useful for identifying expensive post-processing passes	graphics	variable	`False`
`graphics.disableanimatorlod`	Disable all animator LODs. This will seriously degrade performance!	graphics	variable	`False`
`graphics.disablelightlod`	Disable all light LODs. This will seriously degrade performance!	graphics	variable	`False`
`graphics.disableparticlelod`	Disable all particle LODs. This will seriously degrade performance!	graphics	variable	`False`

`graphics.dlss`	(Generated) NVIDIA DLSS upscaling quality preset: -1 = off, 0 = ultra performance, 1 = performance, 2 = balanced, 3 = quality, 4 = ultra quality	graphics	variable	`-1`
`graphics.dof`	(Generated) When enabled, activates the depth-of-field post-processing effect, blurring objects outside the focal distance	graphics	variable	`False`
`graphics.dof_aper`	(Generated) Depth-of-field aperture (f-stop); lower values produce a shallower depth of field with more background blur	graphics	variable	`12`
`graphics.dof_barrel`	(Generated) Admin/cinematic: barrel distortion amount applied to the depth-of-field effect	graphics	variable	`0`
`graphics.dof_blur`	(Generated) Depth-of-field blur intensity multiplier; higher values produce a stronger blur on out-of-focus areas	graphics	variable	`1`
