How do I open the Rust console to use these commands?

Rust Console Commands

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.

3,590 commands

Command	Description	Category	Type	Default	Permission
`physics.bouncethreshold`	(Generated) Minimum relative velocity at which a physics collision generates a bounce response; lower values cause more objects to bounce on light impacts	physics	variable	`2`	Admin

`physics.setbounds`	(center vec3) (extents vec3)	physics	server		Admin
`physics.sleepthreshold`	(Generated) Energy threshold below which a rigid body is put to sleep by the physics engine; lower values keep more objects awake, higher values reduce CPU usage	physics	variable	`0.01`	Admin
`physics.solveriterationcount`	The default solver iteration count permitted for any rigid bodies (default 7). Must be positive	physics	variable	`3`	Admin
`physics.towingmaxlinearaccelfromjoint`	(Generated) Maximum linear acceleration (m/s^2) that a vehicle towing joint can apply before the joint breaks; prevents unrealistic joint forces during towing	physics	variable	`40`	Admin
`physics.treecollision`	Do players and vehicles collide with trees?	physics	variable	`True`	Admin
`physicstumblingentity.angular_drag_override`	Override for rigidbody angular drag. Set to -1 to disable.	physicstumblingentity	variable	`-1`	Admin
`physicstumblingentity.drag_override`	Override for rigidbody drag. Set to -1 to disable.	physicstumblingentity	variable	`-1`	Admin

`physicstumblingentity.min_tumbling_force`	Minimum force applied on collision to cause tumbling	physicstumblingentity	variable	`600`	Admin
`physicstumblingentity.player_impulse_multiplier`	Multiplier for impulse applied to players when ragdolled by this entity	physicstumblingentity	variable	`10`	Admin
`physicstumblingentity.tumbling_force_cone_angle`	Cone angle in degrees for randomizing tumbling force direction	physicstumblingentity	variable	`30`	Admin
`physicstumblingentity.velocity_threshold_for_tumbling_force`	Minimum velocity required for an object to get tumbling force applied on collision	physicstumblingentity	variable	`1.5`	Admin
`ping`	Returns your latency to the server	General	None
`ping.auto_refresh_region`	(Generated) When enabled, region ping estimates are automatically refreshed in the background to keep server list latency data up to date	ping	variable	`True`
`ping.ping_estimate_logging`	(Generated) When enabled, logs ping estimation results to the console; useful for debugging regional latency measurement accuracy	ping	variable	`False`
`ping.ping_estimation`	(Generated) When enabled, the ping estimator collects latency samples to regional servers; disable to suppress background ping traffic	ping	variable	`False`
`ping.ping_parallel`	(Generated) When enabled, ping estimation sends samples to all servers in parallel for faster results; uses more bandwidth simultaneously	ping	variable	`False`
`ping.ping_refresh_interval`	(Generated) Interval in minutes between automatic background ping estimation refreshes for server list region latency sorting	ping	variable	`45`
`ping.ping_samples`	(Generated) Number of ping samples collected per estimation cycle; more samples give a more accurate average latency but take longer to complete	ping	variable	`5`
`planner.floodfilldebug`	(Generated) When enabled, draws debug visualisations for the building planner flood-fill guide system showing fill cells and connection points; admin-only	planner	variable	`False`
`planterbox.outsidetestdistance`	(Generated) Maximum distance in metres used when raycasting to determine whether a planter box is outdoors and receiving natural sunlight	planterbox	variable	`100`	Admin

`planterboxstatic.favourablegenechance`	Chance of a favourable gene being picked [0-1]. Setting this to 0 does not ensure no favourable genes are picked up, but it greatly reduces the chances.	planterboxstatic	variable	`0.5`	Admin
`player.abandonmission`		player	server
`player.adminsafezonelooting`	Should admins be allowed to loot incapacitated players (or their corpse / bag) in safe-zones?	player	variable	`False`	Admin
