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.

`traincouplingcontroller.max_couple_speed`	Maximum difference in velocity for train cars to couple	traincouplingcontroller	variable	`9`	Admin
`travellingvendor.alive_time_seconds`	(Generated) Maximum lifetime in seconds before the Travelling Vendor despawns; default 1800s (30 minutes)	travellingvendor	variable	`1800`	Admin
`travellingvendor.attempt_pullovers`	(Generated) When enabled, the Travelling Vendor will attempt to stop for players and perform pullover interactions along its route	travellingvendor	variable	`True`	Admin
`travellingvendor.max_speed`		travellingvendor	variable	`5`	Admin
`travellingvendor.should_destroy_buildings`	(Generated) When enabled, the Travelling Vendor will destroy player-placed buildings that block its ring road path	travellingvendor	variable	`False`	Admin
`travellingvendor.should_spawn`	(Generated) When enabled, the Travelling Vendor NPC is eligible to spawn on the server ring road; disable to prevent vendor spawning	travellingvendor	variable	`True`	Admin
`tree.global_broadcast`	(Generated) When enabled, tree harvest events are broadcast to all connected clients, not just nearby players; useful for testing tree sync across the network	tree	variable	`False`	Admin
`treemanager.cellsize`	Define cell size(in m) of a grid for trees - only has effect on world load and must be > 1. This affects how much data we send per tree cell(bigger the cell - more trees we have to send). The smaller the cell, the more cells we have to process and the more memory we need per player to track what's left to send(gridSize ^ 2 / 8 bytes). We readjust CellSize to ensure gridSize never exceeds 512.	treemanager	variable	`100`	Admin
`treemanager.enabletreestreaming`	(Generated) When enabled, tree data is streamed to players based on proximity rather than sending all trees at connect; reduces initial bandwidth	treemanager	variable	`True`	Admin
`treemanager.playerbudgetms`	(Generated) Per-frame CPU budget in milliseconds allocated to sending tree streaming data per player	treemanager	variable	`0.01`	Admin
`treemanager.updatebudgetms`	(Generated) Total per-frame CPU budget in milliseconds for the tree streaming update system	treemanager	variable	`1`	Admin
`treemanager.uselazyserialization`	Instead of reserializing grid cell on every tree add/removal(which can cost 0.25ms on 4.5k world), defer it to the streaming update. This reduces amount of times we need to serialize the tree list, but causes the player queue to take longer to process, as that's where evaluation happens.	treemanager	variable	`True`	Admin
`tree.simplified_collider`	(Generated) When enabled, trees use a simplified capsule collider instead of the full mesh collider, reducing physics CPU cost at the expense of collision accuracy	tree	variable	`False`	Admin
`triggerboatmagnet.boatmagnetsenabled`	(Generated) When enabled, boat building station magnets are active and will magnetically attract compatible boat building blocks into position	triggerboatmagnet	variable	`True`	Admin
`triggerparent.allowtriggersleeping`	Allow triggers to sleep if both they and their contents are stationary (TickMode 1 only)	triggerparent	variable	`True`	Admin
`triggerparentdelayedexit.disable_delayed_exit`	Makes TriggerParentDelayedExit act as a TriggerParent again	triggerparentdelayedexit	variable	`False`	Admin
`triggerparent.sleeping_trigger_mask_epsilon`	world units a trigger can move in WS before it is woken	triggerparent	variable	`0.001`	Admin
`triggerparent.tickmode`	0 - old InvokeHandler, 1 - Jobs	triggerparent	variable	`1`	Admin
`triggerparent.useplayerv2shortcuts`	Can we use cached state from ticks when UsePlayerUpdateJobs == 2	triggerparent	variable	`True`	Admin
`tugboat.tugcorpseseconds`		tugboat	variable	`7200`	Admin
`tugboat.tugdecayminutes`	How long before a tugboat loses all its health while outside	tugboat	variable	`2160`	Admin
`tugboat.tugdecaystartdelayminutes`	How long until decay begins after the tugboat was last used	tugboat	variable	`1440`	Admin
`tutorialisland.enforcetrespasschecks`		tutorialisland	variable	`True`	Admin
`tutorialisland.overridetutoriallocation`	Will place the tutorial as close as possible to this pos, only for debugging	tutorialisland	variable	`(0.00, 0.00, 0.00)`	Admin
`tutorialisland.spawntutorialislandfornewplayer`		tutorialisland	variable	`True`	Admin
`vehicle.boat_corpse_seconds`		vehicle	variable	`300`	Admin
`vehicle.carwrecks`	Determines whether modular cars turn into wrecks when destroyed, or just immediately gib. Default: true	vehicle	variable	`True`	Admin
`vehicle.cinematictrains`	If true, trains always explode when destroyed, and hitting a barrier always destroys the train immediately. Default: false	vehicle	variable	`False`	Admin
`vehicle.deepseaportal_boundary_force_start_distance`	(Generated) Distance in metres from a deep-sea portal boundary at which the repulsion force activates for vehicles	vehicle	variable	`10`	Admin
`vehicle.disable_wheels_when_sleeping`	(Generated) When enabled, wheel colliders are disabled on vehicles that have gone to sleep in the physics engine, reducing CPU overhead for parked vehicles	vehicle	variable	`True`	Admin
`vehicle.train_accel_force`	Acceleration force used by vehicle.train_speed (default 50000, same as train engine force)	vehicle	variable	`50000`	Admin
`vehicle.train_brake_force`	Braking force used by vehicle.train_stop (default 50000, same as train engine force)	vehicle	variable	`50000`	Admin
`vehicle.trainskeeprunning`	Determines whether trains stop automatically when there's no-one on them. Default: false	vehicle	variable	`False`	Admin
`vehicle.vehiclesdroploot`	Determines whether vehicles drop storage items when destroyed. Default: true	vehicle	variable	`True`	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.
