Rust knowledge built for fast decisions.

Why this should be better
Decision-first pages
Every detail page leads with useful facts, then craft costs, recycle returns, damage, protection, smelting, loot, and notes.
Original summaries
The copy is written for RustLite and uses public references for verification instead of cloning another wiki.
Structured data
The dataset can later power calculators, comparison tables, API endpoints, patch diffs, and personalized guides.
Update workflow
Official update links are part of the product so new Rust patches become a wiki review task, not a guess.
Accuracy workflow
- 1. Track Facepunch monthly news and official wiki changes.
- 2. Review changed items, monuments, and mechanics in structured data.
- 3. Mark affected pages as reviewed and update summaries in our own words.
- 4. Add calculators later only after the base facts are trusted.
Data coverage
Facts are structured in RustLite data and should be checked against Facepunch official references first, then community references for gaps.
