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.

Server configuration variables (convars) for server owners: set them in server.cfg, from the F1 console as an admin, or over RCON. Each shows its default value.

1,518 commands

Command	Description	Category	Type	Default	Permission
`powergrid.fusefulldecaycount`	How many of the worst condition heavy fuses in the power plant decay at the full rate (burning out after fuseLifespanSeconds). Every other inserted fuse decays slowly instead. If 0 no fuse ever decays at the full rate.	powergrid	variable	`3`	Admin
`powergrid.fuselifespanseconds`	How long a heavy fuse plugged into the power plant lasts while it is decaying at the full rate (how long the worst fuses in the power plant survive for). If <= 0 then fuses last forever.	powergrid	variable	`9600`	Admin
`powergrid.fuseslowdecayfractionmax`	Maximum fraction (0-1) of the full decay rate applied to heavy fuses that aren't one of the worst fuseFullDecayCount. See fuseSlowDecayFractionMin.	powergrid	variable	`0.12`	Admin
`powergrid.fuseslowdecayfractionmin`	Minimum fraction (0-1) of the full decay rate applied to heavy fuses that aren't one of the worst fuseFullDecayCount. Each fuse rolls its own fraction between fuseSlowDecayFractionMin and fuseSlowDecayFractionMax and keeps it for its lifetime.	powergrid	variable	`0.08`	Admin
`powergrid.greenrecyclerfullefficiencystage`		powergrid	variable	`-1`	Admin
`powergrid.marketplacechargecapacity`	Charge capacity of a drone marketplace's power buffer. A marketplace charges this up from the power plant and bleeds it back out whenever the plant stops carrying it.	powergrid	variable	`100`	Admin
`powergrid.marketplacechargeperfuse`	Charge a drone marketplace gains every second for each heavy fuse inserted at the power plant, once there are at least marketplaceMinimumFusesToCharge of them.	powergrid	variable	`0.01`	Admin
`powergrid.marketplacedrainrate`	Charge a drone marketplace loses every second while there are no heavy fuses inserted at the power plant. A single fuse is enough to stop the bleed.	powergrid	variable	`0.05`	Admin
`powergrid.marketplaceminimumfusestocharge`	Heavy fuses that have to be inserted at the power plant before a drone marketplace starts charging. Below this it holds whatever charge it has without building any more.	powergrid	variable	`4`	Admin
`powergrid.marketplacerequiredchargefraction`	Fraction (0-1) of its capacity a drone marketplace needs charged to accept orders. Sets both how long a cold marketplace takes to come online and how long a full one keeps running after the power plant drops out.	powergrid	variable	`0.5`	Admin
`powergrid.powerlinebasepoweroutput`	Starting power output of powerline poles when 1 heavy fuse is inserted at the power plant.	powergrid	variable	`5`	Admin
`powergrid.powerlinemaxpoweroutput`	Power output of powerline poles when all possible heavy fuses are inserted at the power plant.	powergrid	variable	`50`	Admin
`powergrid.simulatepowerplantfuses`		powergrid	variable	`0`	Admin
`powergrid.stagechangeworkqueuebudget`	Max time per frame (ms) to spend notifying powergrid entities of a stage change.	powergrid	variable	`0.1`	Admin
`powergrid.stagechangeworkqueuedelaybetweenjobs`	Time to wait (s) between each individual entity getting notified of a powergrid stage change. Higher values will delay the time it takes for all entities to receive notification of a stage change. Entities can skip this wait with stageChangeWorkQueueGroupJobsDistance	powergrid	variable	`0`	Admin
`powergrid.stagechangeworkqueuegroupjobsdistance`	If a powergrid entity is within this range of the first powergrid entity to receive a stage change update this frame, then that entity will also receive an update (skipping stageChangeWorkQueueTimeBetweenJobs)	powergrid	variable	`20`	Admin
`profile.command_lagspike_threshold`		profile	variable	`40`	Admin
`profile.exportintervals`	(Generated) Interval in seconds between automatic exports of server profiler data to disk; lower values provide more frequent snapshots at a higher I/O cost	profile	variable	`1800`	Admin
`profile.immediatemodeenabled`	(Generated) When enabled, the server native profiler runs in immediate mode, capturing every frame rather than sampling; more accurate but higher overhead	profile	variable	`True`	Admin
`profile.notifyonmainalloccount`	(Generated) Main-thread allocation count threshold per tick for profiler notifications; 0 = disabled; helps isolate main-thread GC pressure	profile	variable	`0`	Admin
`profile.notifyonmainmemkb`	(Generated) Main-thread memory usage threshold in kilobytes for profiler notifications; 0 = disabled	profile	variable	`0`	Admin
`profile.notifyontotalalloccount`	(Generated) Allocation count threshold (per profiler tick) above which the native continuous profiler fires a notification; useful for detecting unexpected allocation spikes	profile	variable	`16000`	Admin
`profile.notifyontotalmemkb`	(Generated) Total managed memory threshold in kilobytes above which the native profiler fires a notification; helps detect memory leaks during long server runs	profile	variable	`12288`	Admin
`profile.notifyonworkeralloccount`	(Generated) Worker-thread allocation count threshold per tick for profiler notifications; 0 = disabled; helps detect background task GC pressure	profile	variable	`0`	Admin
`profile.notifyonworkermemkb`	(Generated) Worker-thread memory usage threshold in kilobytes for profiler notifications; 0 = disabled	profile	variable	`0`	Admin
`profile.profiling_entities`	0 = off, 1 = spawn/kill, 2 = spawn/kill per entity, 3 = count every '5 min'	profile	variable	`0`	Admin
`profile.profiling_entity_count_interval`	How frequently to count all entities across the server	profile	variable	`300`	Admin

`profile.rpc_lagspike_threshold`		profile	variable	`40`	Admin
`profile.runtime_profiling`	0 = off, 1 = basic, 2 = everything. This will reset all profiling convars, however they can be modified afterwards	profile	variable	`0`	Admin
