Combat and raiding

3 studies

Time to kill

Shots and seconds to kill with every gun against all 138 clothing items and 18 full kits, at any range.

Auto turret weapons

How much damage each gun really does inside a turret, its sight range and power draw, ranked by time to kill and ammo per kill.

C4 and satchel placement

C4 does full damage anywhere on the block it sticks to and none next to it, plus the count to break every grade.

Power and electricity

3 studies

Wind, solar and water power

Real turbine output at every height, solar output by facing through the day, and what a Water Wheel makes in a river or lake.

Electrical components

Power draw, passthrough and rated output for every electrical component, so your circuit adds up before you place it.

Furnace throughput

Ore smelted per minute and wood burned on every oven, from the small furnace to the electric furnace and oil refinery.

Base and upkeep

4 studies

Decay timers

How long every building grade, 39 doors and 344 deployables last with no upkeep, and when decay starts.

Tool Cupboard upkeep

What a cupboard charges per day for a base of any size and grade, and how the bill scales as you build bigger.

Recycler yields

What every one of 1,019 items pays back at each recycler tier, and how long a cycle takes.

Light and sound

Why light range depends on who is looking, and how far a wolf hears you.

Loot, farming and travel

5 studies

Loot drop rates

How often each item really drops from 29 crates and barrels, 1,000 openings each, beside the on-paper chance.

Monument surveys

Average loot, radiation, recyclers, keycard tiers, fuse boxes and guards for all 41 monuments.

Plant growth

Time to ripe for every crop on bare ground, in a planter and with fertiliser, and how a roof cuts your sun hours.

Tea and pie buffs

Every tea and pie buff, how strong it is and how long it lasts.

Vehicle fuel

Low grade burned per minute by every fuelled vehicle, how big each tank is, and how long a tank lasts.

Rust stats: common questions

What are the real crate drop rates in Rust?
We opened each of 29 crates and barrels 1,000 times and logged every drop. Loot drop rates lists how often each item really drops, beside the on-paper chance.
How many shots does it take to kill someone in armour in Rust?
Time to kill counts shots and seconds for every gun against all 138 clothing items and 18 full kits, at any range.
How long does a Rust base take to decay?
It depends on the grade. Decay timers lists how long every building grade, 39 doors and 344 deployables last with no upkeep, and when decay starts.
What does a Rust recycler give back?
Recycler yields shows what every one of 1,019 items pays back at each recycler tier, and how long a cycle takes.

Methodology

Where do the Lab numbers come from?
Every number is tested in game on our own private Rust server. We place the real item, run it the way you would in game, and record what it does. Nothing is copied from another site.
Are these numbers unique to RustLite?
Yes. Everything in the Lab comes from our own testing.
How current are they?
Tested on the current version of Rust. Modded servers can differ.
Do the numbers apply to modded servers?
They are measured on vanilla settings. A server with custom decay, upkeep, gather or loot rates will differ.
