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.

Command	Description	Category	Type	Default
`shadowcaching.updatemaxframerate`		shadowcaching	variable	`60`
`shadowcaching.updateminframerate`		shadowcaching	variable	`15`
`shoutcaststreamer.allowinternetstreams`	(Generated) When enabled, internet radio streaming via boomboxes and other audio entities is permitted; saved between sessions	shoutcaststreamer	variable	`True`

`signage.texturerequestdistance`	(Generated) Maximum distance in metres at which signs request their texture from the server; signs beyond this range defer texture loading	signage	variable	`100`
`socket_free_snappable.debugsnapping`	(Generated) When enabled, draws debug visualisations for deployable snapping calculations showing candidate snap points and distances	socket_free_snappable	variable	`False`
`socket_free_snappable.snappingmode`	The current snapping mode for deployables.	socket_free_snappable	variable	`2`
`spraycan.debugmeshsnapping`		spraycan	variable	`False`
`spraycan.useaccuratemeshsnapping`		spraycan	variable	`True`
`sss.enabled`	(Generated) Enables the sub-surface scattering post-process effect on character skin, giving skin a translucent appearance under direct lighting	sss	variable	`True`
`sss.halfres`	(Generated) Renders the sub-surface scattering effect at half resolution, halving the GPU cost at the expense of slight softness in skin shading	sss	variable	`True`
`sss.quality`	(Generated) Sub-surface scattering quality level; deprecated and no longer used in current builds	sss	variable	`0`
`sss.scale`	(Generated) Controls the intensity of the sub-surface scattering effect; higher values make skin appear more translucent under direct light	sss	variable	`1`
`steam.use_steam_nicknames`	(Generated) When enabled, displays other players Steam display names in chat and UI; disabling falls back to their in-game names	steam	variable	`True`
`store.extraitems`	Adds items to the store for testing purposes. add_items itemid,itemid2,itemid3,...	store	variable
`store.generalitemtests`		store	variable
`store.inventorymode`	0 = steam, 1 = random, 2 = empty, 3 = full	store	variable	`0`
`store.limiteditemtests`		store	variable
`store.overridecurrency`	(Generated) Overrides the currency code used in the item store for testing price display in different regional currencies	store	variable
`store.preloadweeklyskins`	(Generated) When enabled, weekly item store skins are preloaded in the background on connect to avoid pop-in when opening the store	store	variable	`True`
`strobelight.forceoff`		strobelight	variable	`False`
`system.auto_cpu_affinity`	Automatically set CPU affinity to recommended cores (eg. 3D V-cache cores)	system	variable	`True`
`techtreedialog.multi_unlock_delay`	Delay between unlocks for the tech tree multi-unlock animation	techtreedialog	variable	`0.1`
`terrain.alwaysdepthprepass`	Profiling only: run the terrain depth prepass every frame over the full terrain, using the main args buffer instead of the hole-culled depth prepass buffers. Normally the prepass only runs when holes are visible and only covers the near LOD.	terrain	variable	`False`
`terrain.culling`	Terrain cell shadow aware camera culling	terrain	variable	`True`
`terrain.geometryclipmaps`	Use geometry clipmaps terrain renderer	terrain	variable	`True`
`terrain.quality`	(Generated) Controls terrain rendering quality (0-100) including heightmap resolution and detail mesh density; lower values improve performance significantly on large maps	terrain	variable	`100`
`territory.preview`	Preview every territory grid tile on the map, owned or not. Requires the grid to exist on the server	territory	variable	`False`
`texture.add_all_cameras`	(Debug) QualitySettings.streamingMipmapsAddAllCameras	texture	variable	`False`
`texture.discard_unused_mips`	(Debug) Texture.streamingTextureDiscardUnusedMips	texture	variable	`False`
`texture.force_load_all`	(Debug) Texture.streamingTextureForceLoadAll	texture	variable	`False`
`texture.max_file_io_requests`	(Debug) QualitySettings.streamingMipmapsMaxFileIORequests	texture	variable	`1024`
`texture.max_level_reduction`	(Debug) QualitySettings.streamingMipmapsMaxLevelReduction	texture	variable	`7`
`texture.memory_budget`	(Debug) QualitySettings.streamingMipmapsMemoryBudget	texture	variable	`5120`
`texture.memory_budget_factor`	How much of the available VRAM should be used for texture memory. Default is 1 (all of VRAM). Only increase this if you often encounter blurry textures.	texture	variable	`1`
`texture.memory_vram_factor`	What percentage (0 - 1) of the VRAM you want to attempt to use for texture memory. Optimal memory budget will be set based on this value. Default is 1, Max: 2, Min: 0.5	texture	variable	`40`
`texture.renderers_per_frame`	(Debug) QualitySettings.streamingMipmapsRenderersPerFrame	texture	variable	`128`
`texture.streaming`	Enable automatic streaming of texture mipmap levels based on their distance from all active cameras.	texture	variable	`False`
`texture.streaming_active`	(Debug) QualitySettings.streamingMipmapsActive	texture	variable	`True`
`texture.streamingbudgetoverride`		texture	variable	`0`
`texture.use_dynamic_memory_budget_adjustments`	(Debug) Toggles dynamic memory budget adjustments. Enabled by default. Only disable for debugging purposes!	texture	variable	`True`
`toolgun.classiceffects`		toolgun	variable	`False`
`translate.overrideculture`		translate	variable
`tree.meshes`	(Generated) Maximum number of full-resolution tree mesh LODs rendered at any one time; reducing this lowers GPU cost when many trees are visible	tree	variable	`100`
`tree.quality`	(Generated) Controls tree rendering quality (0-100); lower values switch trees to lower-polygon LODs sooner, improving GPU performance when many trees are visible	tree	variable	`100`
`triggerbase.useexcludelayers`	(Generated) When enabled, triggers use an exclude layer mask to filter out specific physics layers from trigger detection; toggling clears or sets all active triggers	triggerbase	variable	`False`
`ui.autoswitchchannel`	(Generated) When enabled, automatically switches the active chat channel to match the context (global/team/local) of the last received message	ui	variable	`True`
`ui_dropscontroller.show_placeholder_drop_data`	(Generated) When enabled, shows placeholder/test drop data in the drops controller UI instead of live manifest data; saved between sessions	ui_dropscontroller	variable	`False`
