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.

929 commands

Command	Description	Category	Type	Default
`graphics.dof_debug`	(Generated) Admin/cinematic: when enabled, draws a debug overlay showing the depth buffer and circle of confusion for DoF tuning	graphics	variable	`False`
`graphics.dof_focus_dist`	distance from camera to focus on	graphics	variable	`10`
`graphics.dof_focus_time`	(Generated) Time in seconds for the depth-of-field focus distance to lerp to a new target when auto or dynamic mode is active	graphics	variable	`0.2`
`graphics.dof_kernel_count`	Goes from 0 - 3, higher = more dof samples but slower perf	graphics	variable	`0`

`graphics.fov`	(Generated) Camera field of view in degrees, clamped between 70 and 90; higher values provide a wider view but can cause edge distortion	graphics	variable	`75`
`graphics.globalmipbias`	Sets the global mip map bias for (nearly) all surface textures. (-2..+2) Should be -0.5 to correct blurriness from bilinear filtering and -1.5 when TAA is enabled.	graphics	variable	`0`
`graphics.graphics_jobs_sync_point`	0 = EndOfFrame, 1 = AfterScriptUpdate (default), 2 = AfterScriptLateUpdate, 3 = WaitForPresent	graphics	variable	`1`
`graphics.grassshadows`	(Generated) Developer-only: when enabled, grass geometry casts shadows; disabled by default due to performance cost on GPU shadow rendering	graphics	variable	`False`
`graphics.grassshadowsenabled`	(Generated) Developer-only: when enabled, grass geometry casts shadows; disabled by default due to performance cost on GPU shadow rendering	graphics	variable	`False`
`graphics.hlod`	(Generated) When enabled, hierarchical LOD (HLOD) meshes are used for distant geometry; automatically disabled when indirect instancing is active; toggling triggers a full LOD refresh	graphics	variable	`True`
`graphics.hud`	(Generated) When enabled, the in-game HUD is visible; disable to hide all HUD elements (health bar, hotbar, etc.) for screenshots	graphics	variable	`True`
`graphics.impostorshadows`	(Generated) When enabled, imposter (distant LOD billboard) objects cast shadows; improves visual quality of distant tree and building shadows at GPU cost	graphics	variable	`False`
`graphics.itemskins`	(Generated) When enabled, Steam Workshop skins are applied to items; disable to revert all items to default appearance	graphics	variable	`True`
`graphics.itemskintimeout`	(Generated) Timeout in seconds before a workshop skin download is considered failed and abandoned	graphics	variable	`60`
`graphics.itemskinunload`	(Generated) When enabled, unreferenced workshop skin assets are unloaded from memory after the unload delay elapses	graphics	variable	`True`
`graphics.itemskinunloaddelay`	The time in seconds before a unreferenced skin is unloaded.	graphics	variable	`120`
`graphics.jitterspread`		graphics	variable	`1`
`graphics.lodbias`	Global multiplier for the LOD's switching distance. A larger value leads to a longer view distance before a lower resolution LOD is picked.	graphics	variable	`1`
`graphics.maxqueuedframes`	Maximum number of frames queued up by graphics driver.	graphics	variable	`-1`
`graphics.parallax`	(Generated) Terrain parallax mapping mode: 0 = off, 1 = parallax offset, 2 = parallax occlusion; higher modes improve terrain depth at GPU cost	graphics	variable	`0`
`graphics.quality`	The currently selected quality level	graphics	variable	`6`
`graphics.reflexintervalus`	Minimum interval in microseconds for frame synchronization. 0 = no frame rate limit	graphics	variable	`0`
`graphics.reflexlatencymarker`	(Generated) When enabled, inserts Reflex latency markers into the render pipeline for accurate latency measurement in FrameView/FCAT	graphics	variable	`False`
`graphics.reflexmode`	(Generated) NVIDIA Reflex low-latency mode: 0 = off, 1 = on, 2 = on + boost; reduces render latency on supported GPUs	graphics	variable	`0`
`graphics.renderscale`	(Generated) Internal render resolution scale (0.5-1.0); values below 1.0 render at a lower resolution then upscale, improving performance at cost of sharpness	graphics	variable	`1`
`graphics.resolution`	The current screen resolution index.	graphics	variable	`0`
`graphics.screenmode`	The current screen mode.	graphics	variable	`0`
`graphicssettings.anisotropicfiltering`	Global anisotropic filtering mode. 0-2. Disabled, enabled per-texture, force-enabled for all textures.	graphicssettings	variable	`1`
`graphicssettings.billboardsfacecameraposition`	If enabled, billboards will face towards camera position rather than camera orientation.	graphicssettings	variable	`True`
`graphicssettings.enablelodcrossfade`	Enables or disables LOD Cross Fade.	graphicssettings	variable	`True`
`graphicssettings.globaltexturemipmaplimit`	Indicates how many of the highest-resolution mips of each texture Unity does not upload at the given quality level.	graphicssettings	variable	`0`
`graphicssettings.numshadowcascades`	Number of cascades to use for directional light shadows. 1 = None, 2 = Two, 4 = Four	graphicssettings	variable	`2`
`graphicssettings.particleraycastbudget`	Budget for how many ray casts can be performed per frame for approximate collision testing.	graphicssettings	variable	`1024`
`graphicssettings.pixellightcount`	The maximum number of pixel lights that should affect any object.	graphicssettings	variable	`8`
`graphicssettings.shadowcascades`	Number of cascades to use for directional light shadows. 1 = None, 2 = Two, 4 = Four	graphicssettings	variable	`2`

`graphicssettings.shadowmaskmode`	The rendering mode of Shadowmask. 0 = Shadowmask 1 = Distance Shadowmask	graphicssettings	variable	`1`
`graphicssettings.shadowqualitypreset`	The preset that determines all shadow settings. Low for performance, Max for the best visuals.	graphicssettings	variable	`3`
`graphicssettings.shadowresolution`	The default resolution of shadow maps. 0 = Low, 1 = Medium, 2 = High, 3 = Very High	graphicssettings	variable	`3`
`graphicssettings.softparticles`	Should soft blending be used for particles?	graphicssettings	variable	`True`
`graphicssettings.streamingmipmapsmemorybudget`	The total amount of memory (in megabytes) to be used by streaming and non-streaming textures.	graphicssettings	variable	`64`
`graphics.shaderlod`	(Generated) Global shader LOD level 1-6; lower values disable expensive shader features (e.g. parallax, specular) for better performance on low-end hardware	graphics	variable	`6`
`graphics.shadowcascades`		graphics	variable	`2`
`graphics.shadowdistance`		graphics	variable	`1000`
`graphics.shadowfilteringquality`	(Generated) Developer-only: shadow PCF filtering quality 0-3; higher values use more shadow map samples for softer edges; also updates shadowmode and shader keywords	graphics	variable	`1`
