Rust Tools

Calculators and utilities for Rust players — raid costs, upkeep, smelting, electricity and more. No downloads, no tracking, just tools.

🌿 Hempire rates: these calculators are vanilla-accurate — spot-on for our 4 vanilla servers (Small / Medium / Large / Sandbox, 1× gather). On Medium 2x you collect double the raw resources (ore, wood, scrap), but raid, smelt and craft costs are identical — those are fixed ratios, so every number below still holds.

Survivor's Starter Guide

You spawn on a beach with a rock and a torch. Everyone does. Here's how you go from that to an AK, a base, and a reason for the neighbours to fear you — the fast way.

Rust base interior
Hours 0–8

Your First Hour

The opening is always the same: turn that rock into tools and get a roof over your head before you pick a fight.

  • Hit trees and stone until you can craft a Stone Hatchet + Pickaxe. Grab ~30 cloth off hemp plants.
  • Drop a sleeping bag and build a hidden 1×2 in the forest — away from roads and monuments. Key-lock it, add an airlock (two doors), stock the Tool Cupboard.
  • Craft a bow (200 wood + 50 cloth, no workbench) — it's the great equalizer against early geared roamers.
  • Farm your first scrap from roadside barrels and safe low-tier monuments, then recycle components at any recycler.
Keep a small stash outside your base — a bow, some stone, cloth. If you get raided or door-camped, that stash restarts your wipe instead of ending it.

The time axis of a wipe

Early · Mid · Late

Every wipe is a compressed civilisation arc. The only variables are how fast you move and how many hands you've got.

  • Early (hours 0–8): stone tools → hidden 1×2 → first scrap → Workbench 1. Don't monument, don't fight.
  • Mid (day 1 evening → day 2–3): guns online, base upgraded to stone/sheet metal, furnaces stacked, Workbench 2 → satchels → first eco-raids.
  • Late (day 3+): Workbench 3, AK-47, C4 and rockets, monument dominance, and a real raid economy.
On Medium 2× the whole arc happens in about half the time — everyone hits AK-and-C4 sooner, so wipes there feel more raid-heavy, faster. That's by design, not a bug.
Rust crafting
How you unlock gear

Workbenches & the Tech Tree

Three workbench tiers gate everything. WB1 opens your first real loadout, WB2 brings Thompson/SAR and satchels, WB3 is the endgame — AK, C4, rockets, HQM armour.

There are two ways to learn a blueprint, and they fight over the same scrap:

  • Tech Tree — spend scrap to unlock items along a path, no item needed. Best when you're rich in scrap but unlucky with loot. Beeline what you want; don't clear a whole tier.
  • Research Table — drop an item you looted + scrap to learn it directly. Cheaper when you already found the thing.
Good news for new players: since the Nov 2025 rework, workbenches cost zero scrap to build (components only) and tech-tree unlocks got 25–76% cheaper. Every scrap you farm goes straight into gear now.
Rust monument
Where the scrap comes from

Monuments Are Your Engine

Scrap sets your pace, and monuments are where you farm it. They tier up by keycard and radiation:

  • Tier 1 (early): Gas Station, Supermarket, Mining Outpost, Lighthouse, Harbor — safe, no rad, free green cards. ~150–300 scrap each.
  • Tier 2 (mid): Junkyard, Train Yard, Airfield, Sewer Branch — green→blue→red card puzzles, mild rad, PvP starts here.
  • Tier 3 (late): Launch Site, Military Tunnels, Oil Rig, Cargo Ship — elite crates, heavy scientists, Bradley, and a radiation gate you need gear for.
Recycle every 2–3 monuments so you don't lose a full run on one death. A good solo loop pulls ~1,000–2,000 scrap an hour.
Rust base
Boom in, boom out

Raiding & Defense

Raiding is a sulfur economy. Satchels at WB2 are the cheap entry; C4 and rockets at WB3 are the real thing. Every wall costs the same boom on 1× or 2× — gather rate speeds up your farm, never the raid cost.

  • Defending: honeycomb your walls, run an airlock, and don't put loot in the first room. Depth beats thickness.
  • Attacking: soft-side walls (they take less boom), pick your target's weak wall, and raid off-peak when they're offline or asleep.
  • Always keep that off-base stash. The best defense against a bad raid is having somewhere else to respawn with a kit.

Playing on The Hempire

Five servers, one rule that never bends: no pay-to-win, ever. Nothing you can buy gives you an edge in a fight — it's all earned.

Large / Medium / Small are pure vanilla (1× gather). Medium 2× doubles your farm for faster, punchier wipes. Sandbox is creative mode — build, test, mess around, no stakes. Vanilla servers wipe the first Thursday of the month; Medium 2× runs biweekly.

Be cool to fresh spawns, don't cheat (we spectate and we combat-log), and if something breaks, report it on the Problems page. Now go build something worth raiding.
