Rust Client Settings Commands

Give Item List →

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
`pool.enabled`	(Generated) When enabled, this system is globally active; disable to deactivate the system for the current session	pool	variable	`True`
`pool.mode`		pool	variable	`2`
`pool.prewarm`	(Generated) When enabled, object pools are pre-allocated at startup to avoid first-use latency; increases startup time but reduces runtime GC stutter	pool	variable	`True`
`pooltable.transform_update_rate`		pooltable	variable	`128`
`pool.usemutexpool`	Whether to use original pool implementation (slower, but tested). Default is false	pool	variable	`False`
`profile.logentityspawntime`	Log how long entities take to spawn on the client, use 'minloggedspawntime' to filter low spawn times	profile	variable	`False`
`profile.logentityspawntime_min`	Minimum spawn time before logging (in ms)	profile	variable	`0`
`projectile.preventcameraclip`	Should the projectile model attempt to prevent itself being clipped by the camera?	projectile	variable	`True`
`projectile.preventcameraclipbufferseconds`	Buffer seconds before turning back on the projectile model.	projectile	variable	`0.01`
`projectile.serverprojectilecameraclipdistance`	Distance before turning back on the server spawned projectiles model.	projectile	variable	`0.3`
`projectile.usebatched`	(Generated) When enabled, projectile movement is updated in batched job-based passes using TransformAccessArray for better CPU parallelism	projectile	variable	`True`
`recordertool.debugrecording`	(Generated) When enabled, logs additional debug info about cassette recording state and audio buffer operations; saved between sessions	recordertool	variable	`False`
`reflection.forceupdate`	(Generated) When enabled, forces all reflection probes to recapture every frame regardless of updateinterval; very expensive, use only for debugging	reflection	variable	`False`
`reflection.planarcount`	(Generated) Maximum number of planar reflection probes that can render simultaneously; reducing this limits GPU overhead when many reflective surfaces are visible	reflection	variable	`2`
`reflection.planarreflections`	(Generated) Enables planar (mirror-like) reflections on water and reflective surfaces; more accurate than cubemap probes but significantly more GPU-intensive	reflection	variable	`True`
`reflection.planarresolution`	(Generated) Resolution of planar reflection renders; higher values produce sharper water and mirror reflections at a higher GPU memory and render cost	reflection	variable	`1024`
`reflection.resolution`	(Generated) Resolution of the reflection probe cubemap captures; higher values produce sharper reflections at a significant GPU memory and render time cost	reflection	variable	`64`
`reflection.timeslicing`	(Generated) Number of frames over which a single reflection probe capture is spread; higher values reduce per-frame GPU cost at the cost of reflection update latency	reflection	variable	`2`
`reflection.updateinterval`	(Generated) Minimum seconds between reflection probe recaptures; lower values keep reflections more current but increase GPU overhead	reflection	variable	`1`
`render.building_blocked_preview_distance`	Distance from the border of building blocked to show the red preview	render	variable	`100`
`render.computebuffer_setdata_immediate`	Whether to call ComputeBuffer.SetData immediately or at the end of the frame	render	variable	`True`
`render.instanced_rendering`	0 = off, 1 = on (must restart client for changes to take effect)	render	variable	`0`
`render.instanced_toggle_all`	Developer command to toggle instanced rendering at runtime to measure performance impact	render	variable	`True`
`render.instanced_toggle_buildings`	Toggle rendering of buildings on / off	render	variable	`True`
`render.instanced_toggle_cliffs`	Toggle rendering of cliffs on / off	render	variable	`True`
`render.instanced_toggle_other`	Toggle rendering of uncategorized meshes on / off	render	variable	`True`
`render.instancing_render_distance`	Max distance for instanced rendering, can be higher than normal render distance	render	variable	`1000`
`render.max_renderers`	Set the amount of instanced renderers to show for debugging	render	variable	`0`
`render.multidraw`	Allow unity to batch together multiple draw calls	render	variable	`True`
`render.render_shadows`	(Generated) Enables or disables shadow rendering globally on the client; disabling shadows significantly improves GPU performance	render	variable	`True`
`render.show_building_blocked`	(Generated) Shows a coloured overlay on building-blocked areas client-side, visualising where construction is prevented	render	variable	`True`
`render.upload_multidraw_meshes_mode`	0 = CPU, 1 = GPU	render	variable	`0`
`reports.exceptionreportmaxlength`	(Generated) Maximum character length of exception reports submitted to the crash reporter; clamped to a minimum of 250 characters	reports	variable	`600`
`rgbeffects.brightness`	Brightness of colors, from 0 to 1 (note: may affect color accuracy)	rgbeffects	variable	`1`
`rgbeffects.colorcorrection_razer`	Controls how RGB values are mapped to LED lights on Razer devices	rgbeffects	variable	`(3.00, 3.00, 3.00)`
`rgbeffects.colorcorrection_steelseries`	Controls how RGB values are mapped to LED lights on SteelSeries devices	rgbeffects	variable	`(1.50, 1.50, 1.50)`
`rgbeffects.enabled`	Enables RGB lighting effects (supports SteelSeries and Razer)	rgbeffects	variable	`True`
`rottingflies.hide`	Disables the corpse flies	rottingflies	variable	`False`
`rrp.enabled`	Toggles the Rust Render Pipeline	rrp	variable	`False`
`rustnav.drawoffsety`		rustnav	variable	`0.5`
`satellite.map_lerp_time`	Seconds for the on-map targeting marker to ease to its new position after a thruster fires	satellite	variable	`1.5`
`satellite.show_thruster_effects`	Editor only: reveal each thruster's effect on the control buttons for testing	satellite	variable	`True`
`scenetoprefab.monument_scenes_enabled`		scenetoprefab	variable	`False`
`screenshot.hiresscreenshotcustomwidth`	Set a custom width for takehiresscreenshot and takehirestransparentscreenshot. Set to 0 to use default size.	screenshot	variable	`0`
`searchlight.debugvolumetrics`		searchlight	variable	`False`
`shadowcaching.enabled`		shadowcaching	variable	`False`
`shadowcaching.enabledistancebasedframerates`		shadowcaching	variable	`True`
`shadowcaching.enableframeratelimiting`		shadowcaching	variable	`True`
`shadowcaching.maxframeratedistance`		shadowcaching	variable	`0.1`
`shadowcaching.minframeratedistance`		shadowcaching	variable	`10`
