Rust Server Variables

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.

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.

Command	Description	Category	Type	Default	Permission
`softcore.raidwindow_block_extra_enabled`	(Generated) Outside the window, also block a non-explosive damage type against non-twig building blocks (e.g. shotgunning down a stone wall). Melee is only affected by softcore.raidwindow_block_melee_doors	softcore	variable	`True`	Admin
`softcore.raidwindow_block_extra_type`	(Generated) Rust.DamageType value blocked against non-twig building blocks when softcore.raidwindow_block_extra_enabled is true (default 8 = Bullet, which covers guns and shotguns)	softcore	variable	`8`	Admin
`softcore.raidwindow_block_melee_doors`	(Generated) Outside the window, block melee damage to doors so they can't be beaten down while the window is closed	softcore	variable	`True`	Admin
`softcore.raidwindow_block_mlrs`	(Generated) Block launching MLRS rockets outside the raid window so they are not wasted	softcore	variable	`True`	Admin

`softcore.raidwindow_end_hour`	(Generated) Raid window end hour in server system local time, 0-24 (default 21 = 9pm). If end is less than start the window wraps past midnight	softcore	variable	`21`	Admin
`softcore.raidwindow_fresh_tc_seconds`	(Generated) Seconds after a base's tool cupboard is placed during which the base can still be raided outside the window; 0 disables	softcore	variable	`3600`	Admin
`softcore.raidwindow_hours_offset`	(Generated) Hours to widen the raid window on both sides for timezone spread (1 = opens one hour earlier and closes one hour later)	softcore	variable	`0`	Admin
`softcore.raidwindow_start_hour`	(Generated) Raid window start hour in server system local time, 0-24 (default 18 = 6pm)	softcore	variable	`18`	Admin

`solarpanel.sunupdatebudgetms`		solarpanel	variable	`0.05`	Admin
`spawn.loot_population_test`	If set the loot spawn system will consider this the player count, not the actual player count. Useful for testing	spawn	variable	`0`	Admin
`spawn.max_density`	(Generated) Maximum population density scalar; controls the upper bound for how densely spawnable items fill their designated spawn areas at high player counts	spawn	variable	`1`	Admin
`spawn.max_rate`	(Generated) Maximum spawn rate scalar applied to NPC/resource population spawning; the spawn tick rate scales up to this value as player count increases	spawn	variable	`1`	Admin
`spawn.min_density`	(Generated) Minimum population density scalar; controls the lower bound for how densely spawnable items fill their designated spawn areas at low player counts	spawn	variable	`0.5`	Admin
`spawn.min_rate`	(Generated) Minimum spawn rate scalar applied to NPC/resource population spawning; lower values slow down respawn ticking when server population is low	spawn	variable	`0.5`	Admin
`spawn.player_base`	(Generated) Base player count used when computing population spawn rates; below this value player_scale group rates are not yet applied	spawn	variable	`100`	Admin
`spawn.player_scale`	(Generated) Multiplier applied to group spawn rates based on current player count relative to player_base; higher values cause more group spawns as the server fills up	spawn	variable	`2`	Admin
`spawn.population_cap_rate`	When scaling loot respawn rates by population, this will be considered the 'max' population, preventing loot speeding up if player counts are above this	spawn	variable	`300`	Admin
`spawn.respawn_groups`	(Generated) When enabled, spawn groups (monument NPCs, timed event spawners) will respawn their entities after they are cleared	spawn	variable	`True`	Admin
`spawn.respawn_individuals`	(Generated) When enabled, individually tracked entities (e.g. specific persistent NPCs) will respawn after a delay when destroyed	spawn	variable	`True`	Admin
`spawn.respawn_populations`	(Generated) When enabled, population spawners (animals, NPCs, resources) will respawn entities over time as they are killed or harvested	spawn	variable	`True`	Admin
`spawn.tick_individuals`	(Generated) Interval in seconds between individual entity respawn ticks; controls how frequently the server checks for and respawns dead individual entities	spawn	variable	`300`	Admin
`spawn.tick_populations`	(Generated) Interval in seconds between population spawn ticks; lower values cause populations to refill faster but increase server CPU load	spawn	variable	`60`	Admin
`stability.accuracy`	(Generated) Floating-point tolerance used when comparing stability values during propagation; smaller values are more precise but can cause more recalculations	stability	variable	`0.001`	Admin
`stability.collapse`	(Generated) Stability value below which a building block is considered unsupported and will collapse; default 0.05 means blocks below 5% support fall	stability	variable	`0.05`	Admin
`stabilityentity.demolish_seconds`		stabilityentity	variable	`600`	Admin
`stability.log_ground_missing_death`	(Generated) When enabled, logs when entities die because their ground support entity was destroyed or is missing	stability	variable	`False`	Admin
`stability.log_stability_death`	(Generated) When enabled, logs each entity death caused by a stability collapse to the server console with position and prefab name	stability	variable	`False`	Admin
`stability.log_stability_updates`	(Generated) When enabled, logs every stability value change during propagation; very verbose, use only for targeted debugging	stability	variable	`False`	Admin
`stability.stabilityqueue`	(Generated) Maximum time in seconds that stability update jobs can run per server tick before being deferred to the next tick	stability	variable	`9`	Admin
`stability.strikes`	(Generated) Number of stability propagation iterations performed per tick; higher values resolve complex multi-block stability chains faster at the cost of CPU time	stability	variable	`10`	Admin
`stability.support_highest_stability`		stability	variable	`True`	Admin
`stability.surroundingsqueue`	(Generated) Maximum time in seconds that surrounding-support check jobs can run per server tick before deferral	stability	variable	`3`	Admin
`stability.verbose`	(Generated) Verbosity level for stability system logging; 0 = silent, higher values print more detail about stability calculations and propagation	stability	variable	`0`	Admin
`stag.population`	Population active on the server, per square km	stag	variable	`3`	Admin
`stash.reveal_tick_rate`	(Generated) Interval in seconds between player-detection ticks for the stash container reveal mechanic; registered as stash.reveal_tick_rate	stash	variable	`0.5`	Admin
`steam.server_allow_steam_nicknames`		steam	variable	`True`	Admin
`storagecontainer.canrequireauthifnolock`	(Generated) When enabled, storage containers without a lock can still require tool cupboard auth to access; default false	storagecontainer	variable	`False`	Admin
`storagecontainer.corpseitemssavedpercent`	(Generated) Fraction of items preserved when a storage container spawns a death corpse; 0.5 = 50% of items survive the container death	storagecontainer	variable	`0.5`	Admin
`storagecontainer.dropcorpseondeath`	(Generated) When enabled, storage containers that die spawn a loot corpse containing their items; when false items are destroyed	storagecontainer	variable	`False`	Admin
`telephonemanager.maxcalllength`	(Generated) Maximum duration in seconds a telephone call can remain active before it is automatically terminated	telephonemanager	variable	`120`	Admin
`telephonemanager.maxconcurrentcalls`	(Generated) Maximum number of simultaneous active telephone calls allowed on the server at any time	telephonemanager	variable	`10`	Admin
`territory.hexsize`	Hex cell size in metres (centre to corner). Changing it rebuilds the grid and wipes ownership	territory	variable	`50`	Admin
`territory.offsetx`	Shifts the whole territory grid east/west in metres. Painted cells move with it	territory	variable	`0`	Admin
`territory.offsetz`	Shifts the whole territory grid north/south in metres. Painted cells move with it	territory	variable	`0`	Admin
`ticklogging.tick_uploader_lifetime`		ticklogging	variable	`60`	Admin
`tigerfsm.chargerange`	The range at which the tiger will charge instead of fleeing if aimed at	tigerfsm	variable	`20`	Admin

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. Search by name, description or category; every row has a copy button.
