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.

`demo.timeline_max_zoom`	Maximum demo timeline zoom multiplier, default to 0 for auto.	demo	variable	`0`
`demo.timescale`	(Generated) Playback speed multiplier for demo replay; 1.0 = real-time, 2.0 = double speed, 0.5 = half speed; clamped to 0-50	demo	variable	`1`
`demo.ui`	(Generated) When enabled, shows the demo playback control UI overlay during demo playback; disabling hides all playback controls	demo	variable	`True`
`drone.windlerpspeed`		drone	variable	`0.1`
`drone.windpositiondivisor`		drone	variable	`100`
`drone.windpositionscale`		drone	variable	`1`
`drone.windrotationmultiplier`		drone	variable	`45`
`drone.windtimedivisor`		drone	variable	`10`
`effects.antialiasing`	(Generated) Anti-aliasing mode: 0 = None, 1 = FXAA, 2 = SMAA, 3 = TSSAA (temporal); higher modes reduce jagged edges at increasing GPU cost	effects	variable	`3`
`effects.ao`	(Generated) Enables ambient occlusion post-processing; adds contact shadows in corners and crevices, improving depth perception at a moderate GPU cost	effects	variable	`True`
`effects.bloom`	(Generated) Enables bloom post-processing; causes bright light sources and emissive surfaces to bleed glow onto surrounding pixels	effects	variable	`True`
`effectscalewithcameradistance.on`	(Generated) When enabled, effects that use EffectScaleWithCameraDistance will scale their size based on the distance from the camera; disable to use fixed size	effectscalewithcameradistance	variable	`True`
`effects.creationeffects`	(Generated) When enabled, plays visual effects (sparks, dust, etc.) when objects are built or placed in the world	effects	variable	`True`
`effects.footsteps`	(Generated) When enabled, plays footstep sounds for the local player; disabling silences footsteps without affecting other audio	effects	variable	`True`
`effects.hurtoverlay`	(Generated) Enables the blood/damage overlay displayed on-screen when the player takes damage; disable to reduce visual clutter when injured	effects	variable	`True`
`effects.hurtoverleyapplylighting`	(Generated) When enabled, the hurt overlay is tinted by the current scene lighting rather than displayed as a flat colour, making it blend more naturally with the environment	effects	variable	`True`
`effects.lensdirt`	(Generated) Enables lens dirt overlay; adds a subtle dirt/smudge texture to the camera lens bloom, simulating a dirty camera sensor	effects	variable	`True`
`effects.maxgibdist`	(Generated) Maximum distance in metres at which gib objects are visible and simulated; gibs beyond this range are culled to save CPU and GPU	effects	variable	`150`
`effects.maxgiblife`	(Generated) Maximum lifetime in seconds a gib object is kept alive before being automatically removed, regardless of the gib budget	effects	variable	`10`
`effects.maxgibs`	(Generated) Maximum number of gib (debris) objects that can exist in the world simultaneously; excess gibs are culled oldest-first to stay within this budget	effects	variable	`1000`
`effects.mingiblife`	(Generated) Minimum lifetime in seconds a gib object persists before it can be destroyed by the gib budget cull	effects	variable	`5`
`effects.motionblur`	(Generated) Enables motion blur post-processing; blurs fast-moving objects and camera rotations to simulate camera shutter exposure	effects	variable	`True`
`effects.otherplayerslightflares`	(Generated) When enabled, renders light flare effects on torch flames and other light sources held or worn by other players; disable to reduce visual noise in crowded areas	effects	variable	`True`
`effects.shafts`	(Generated) Enables god ray / light shaft effects; renders volumetric light beams through foliage and openings, increasing atmospheric quality	effects	variable	`True`
`effects.sharpen`	(Generated) Enables sharpening post-processing pass; enhances fine detail and edge contrast, particularly useful when TSSAA softens the image	effects	variable	`True`
`effects.showoutlines`	Show outlines of objects when applicable i.e. dropped items	effects	variable	`True`
`effects.vignet`	(Generated) Enables vignette post-processing; darkens the screen edges to draw focus toward the centre of the view	effects	variable	`True`
`env.cloudmovement`	(Generated) When enabled, cloud layers move across the sky over time; disabling freezes clouds in place for consistent lighting or screenshots	env	variable	`True`
`env.cloudrotation`	(Generated) Current rotation angle of the cloud layer in degrees; can be set to reposition clouds for lighting tests or screenshots	env	variable	`0`
`env.nightlight_debugcamera_enabled`	Toggles nightlight screen effect when using debug camera	env	variable	`False`
`env.nightlight_enabled`	(Generated) When enabled, ambient night lighting is applied at night; disabling makes nights pitch-black for horror or specific event scenarios	env	variable	`True`
`env.skyrotation`	(Generated) Rotates the entire sky environment (including sun and moon positions) by the given angle; useful for controlling light direction without changing time of day	env	variable	`0`
`espcanvas.colourcodeteams`	(Generated) Admin-only: when enabled, ESP player info elements are coloured by team membership using the configured team colour IDs	espcanvas	variable	`False`
`espcanvas.disableocclusionchecks`	(Generated) Admin-only: when enabled, occlusion checks are skipped for ESP player info elements so they are always visible regardless of walls	espcanvas	variable	`False`
`espcanvas.maxnameplates`	Max amount of nameplates to show at once	espcanvas	variable	`32`
`espcanvas.nameplateautosize`	Admin-only: Should the nameplates size dynamically change based on distance?	espcanvas	variable	`False`
`espcanvas.nameplateautosize_falloff`	Admin-only: Nameplate falloff distance for autosizing (smaller values cause the text to shrink at closer distances).	espcanvas	variable	`50`
`espcanvas.overridemaxdisplaydistance`	(Generated) Admin-only: overrides the maximum distance at which ESP player info elements are shown; 0 = use default distance	espcanvas	variable	`0`
