RUST (PC)
Console Commands, Admin Cheats, Spawning, and Useful Binds
Practice / Local Server Focus (Do NOT use on public servers)
IMPORTANT
- F1 opens the Rust console.
- "Client commands" work anywhere (no admin needed), but some servers may
block certain ones.
- "Admin commands / cheats" require owner/admin (auth level 2). Use on your
own local/private server only.
- Trying admin commands on official/public servers can result in bans.
============================================================
1) QUICK START: HOST A LOCAL PRACTICE SERVER (PC)
============================================================
1) Install SteamCMD
2) Download Rust Dedicated Server:
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir ./rust +app_update 258550
validate +quit
3) Create start.bat inside the rust server folder with something like:
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.port 28015 +server.level
"Procedural Map" +server.seed 12345 +server.worldsize 3500
+server.maxplayers 1 +server.hostname "Local Practice" +server.identity
"local" +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.password "pass" +rcon.web 1
4) Run start.bat (server console opens)
5) Get your Steam64ID (example: via steamid.io)
6) In the SERVER console (not the in-game F1 console), grant owner:
ownerid YOUR_STEAM64ID "YourName" "Owner"
server.writecfg
server.restart
7) In Rust client:
F1 console -> client.connect localhost:28015
Notes:
- After auth changes, a restart helps commands apply.
- RCON tools (RustAdmin, etc.) can manage your server remotely.
============================================================
2) CLIENT COMMANDS (NO ADMIN REQUIRED)
============================================================
Utility / Debug

Latency to server
- netgraph.enabled 1
Network overlay

Hide names/clans (good for screenshots/video)
- gesture wave
Emotes: wave / victory / shrug / thumbsup / chicken / hurry / whoa
Quality-of-life binds (examples)

============================================================
4) SPAWN AND GIVE ITEMS (ADMIN)
============================================================
Item shortnames are required (example: rifle.ak)
Give to yourself:
- inventory.give rifle.ak 1
- inventory.give wood 5000
- inventory.give ammo.rifle.explosive 128
Give to all players:
- inventory.giveall wood 10000
Spawn things where you are looking:
- spawn bear
Spawns an entity (if the name is not exact, Rust often suggests matches)
- spawnitem wood
Spawns an item drop in the world
Entity tools (target something with your crosshair):
- ent who
Shows Steam64ID of who placed the object
- ent kill
Deletes targeted entity
- ent lock
Forces lock (where applicable)
- ent unlock
Forces unlock (where applicable)
Extra (powerful) server cleanup:
- del <asset/prefab path>
Deletes all matching prefabs on the server.
Tip: use debug.lookingat to get prefab path.
============================================================
5) TELEPORT / WORLD / EVENTS (ADMIN)
============================================================
- printpos
Prints your coordinates (useful before teleporting)
- teleport "PlayerName"
Teleport to a player
- teleportpos "x, y, z"
Teleport to exact coordinates

Teleport to nearest point in your line of sight
Time and weather

Camera / cinematic

- cinematic_view 1
Hide HUD for screenshots/video
- world.rendermap

============================================================
6) USEFUL BINDS (RECOMMENDED)
============================================================
Since F1 is your console key, use other keys for binds.
- bind p "noclip"
- bind o "debugcamera"
- bind h "use item_medical_syringe"
Quick syringe use without swapping
Loot bind (use carefully, can feel "sweaty"):
- bind mouse1 "+attack;+loot"
Left-handed viewmodel:
- graphics.vm_horizontal_flip true
Viewmodel size:
- graphics.vm_fov_scale 0
Loot radius tweak (use only where allowed; some servers may dislike it):
- client.lookatradius 20
