About RustPotato & Methodology

RustPotato is an independent Rust reference and calculator suite built from the game files across 1,034 published item sheets.

Published item sheets: 1,034 items across 14 inventory categories
Monuments & machines: 70 monument layouts and 17 monument machine pages
World & environment: 8 environment branches, 4 workbench tech trees, and 20 building blocks
Interactive tools: 13 calculators and planners with full static HTML tables
Cosmetics & workshop: 5,488 skins across 302 collections and 317 indexed creators

Where the numbers come from

Every item stat, crafting recipe, recycle yield, raid cost, loot table, and monument layout on RustPotato is read directly from the Facepunch Studios game files rather than copied from community wikis, forum spreadsheets, or unverified patch notes, keeping every table consistent across the site.

The published RustPotato database spans 1,034 item sheets across 14 inventory categories (648 craftable blueprints), 70 monument prefabs with 17 station machine guides, 8 world environment branches, 4 workbench tech trees, and 20 building block shapes across five construction grades. Alongside the game-file reference tables, the site maintains 13 interactive calculators and live browsers, tracks daily US dollar prices across 5,488 cosmetics in 302 collections by 317 Workshop artists, and archives 22 official update changelogs with direct links to every modified item.

What updates automatically and what runs after a patch

RustPotato checks the item catalogue, crafting blueprints, item icons, console commands, and server variables hourly with an automated job that rebuilds and publishes the site whenever the upstream game catalogue changes and passes every build test.

Skin market prices, order books, weekly store rotations, active drop campaigns, live server populations, community streams, and official update posts are refreshed on scheduled intervals throughout the day.

Detailed combat stats, weapon damage, building health, container loot tables, recycler yields, workbench tech trees, monument spawns, and CCTV codes are re-extracted from the game files by script after each monthly update.

How pages are checked before publication

RustPotato runs automated build checks that recalculate every numeric claim printed in item prose against the underlying dataset before any deployment can succeed.

Pages also render their complete tables, tabs, and reference numbers in the initial HTML response so players and search crawlers can read the data without waiting for client-side scripts.

Independence, contact, and corrections

RustPotato is an unofficial fan site and is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by Facepunch Studios.

Questions, bug reports, or data corrections can be sent to the project address at contact@rustpotato.com, or explored across the main sections of the site:

How RustPotato verifies game files and live server feeds

RustPotato builds every wiki sheet, calculator engine, and market table directly from primary game bundles and live network feeds rather than copying community wikis. Automated test suites check every printed figure against the raw JSON snapshots before a build can deploy, catching stale values as soon as a patch lands.

Static HTML rendering ensures that every item table, monument map, and calculator example works immediately in any browser, even with JavaScript disabled. Interactive widgets load only on the tool pages that need them and store custom plans locally on your device.

Game bundle extraction: item identifiers, crafting blueprints, damage curves, durability tables, and monument prefabs read straight from the client and server files.
Continuous market and server polling: skin prices, weekly item store rotations, live server populations, and creator broadcasts refreshed on automated schedules.
Deterministic browser calculators: raid sulfur solvers, cupboard upkeep brackets, conveyor filter builders, and casino probability engines tested against exact game rules.
Zero account lock-in: saved keybinds, conveyor setups, open-core room plans, watched videos, and wipe alerts stay in local browser storage with no login.

Independent publishing, privacy, and update cadence

RustPotato operates as an independent reference site with no affiliation to Facepunch Studios or Valve Corporation. First-party sponsor banners fund the hosting and data collection pipelines, keeping every calculator, skin price table, and monument guide completely free to read and use without paywalls or third-party ad networks.

When a monthly Thursday force wipe or hotfix changes an item recipe, stack size, or building decay bracket, the extraction pipeline updates the shared data tables and rebuilds affected pages in one pass. Readers who spot a discrepancy can write to the contact address above so the check joins the permanent test suite.

Frequently asked questions

How does RustPotato extract its Rust item stats, raid costs, and monument layouts?

RustPotato reads every item property, crafting blueprint, durability curve, loot table, and monument layout directly from the Facepunch Studios game files across 1,034 published item sheets in 14 categories, 70 monument prefabs, and 20 building block shapes rather than copying community wikis.

What is the difference between automated feeds and post-patch script extraction on RustPotato?

The item catalogue, crafting recipes, icons, console commands, 5,488 skin prices, store rotations, drops, live server counts, and 22 update logs refresh on automated schedules, whereas combat stats, loot tables, 4 workbench tech trees, and monument spawns are re-extracted by script after each monthly patch.

Is RustPotato affiliated with or endorsed by Facepunch Studios?

RustPotato (rustpotato.com) is an independent, unofficial Rust reference database and browser calculator suite built for players and server administrators, and the project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Facepunch Studios or Valve Corporation in any capacity.

Why use RustPotato instead of separate single-purpose Rust websites?

RustPotato unites in one reference website 13 interactive calculators and live browsers, 1,034 item sheets with crafting and recycling tables, 70 monument guides, 5,488 priced skins across the Steam market and item store, and 22 archived update logs with word-for-word changelists.

How does RustPotato verify every number before a page is published?

Before any build can deploy, automated verification scripts recalculate every numeric claim printed in item prose and FAQs against the underlying JSON data extracted from the game files, and every page renders its complete tables in static HTML so crawlers and players without JavaScript see the full dataset.

Which interactive Rust calculators and tools are available on RustPotato?

The 13 free tools on RustPotato cover the Raid Calculator, Tool Cupboard Upkeep Calculator, F1 Bind Maker, 3D Skin Lab, Industrial Conveyor Filter Lists, Open Core Manager, four Bandit Camp gambling calculators (Wheel, Blackjack, Texas Hold'em Poker, and Slot Machine), the Console Commands directory, the Live Server Finder, and the Wipe Calendar.

Does RustPotato require a user account or run third-party advertising trackers?

Every tool, wiki sheet, and market tracker on RustPotato works without a user account, login, or Steam sign-in. Custom conveyor plans, keybind loadouts, watched videos, favorite servers, and wipe alerts stay locally in your browser localStorage with zero third-party ad trackers.

How can players or server owners report a data error or bug on RustPotato?

Anyone who spots a mismatch after a game update or a bug in one of the 13 calculators can email contact@rustpotato.com directly; every reported value is checked against the current Facepunch Studios game files and added to the automated build test suite.
