Support RustPotato

RustPotato is a free, independent Rust reference and calculator suite with no paywall, account requirement, paid tier, or gambling sponsorship.

Everything on RustPotato is free: the wiki, the tools, the skin prices, the tutorial server. It still costs money to keep online. If the site saved you a raid or an evening of maths, you can give a little back through Ko-fi or Discord.

Reader contributions on Ko-fi directly fund the dedicated Linux hosting, daily Steam market price updates across 5,475 tradable Rust skins in US dollars, and ongoing maintenance of 1,034 verified item sheets, 70 monument layouts, 4 workbench tech trees, and 13 browser-based calculators. Every tool on RustPotato, from the raid and building upkeep calculators to the genetics planner, conveyor filter builder, weapon TTK comparison, and 3D skin loadout viewer, runs free in the browser without user accounts, premium tiers, intrusive pop-up ads, or skin-gambling sponsorships. Direct reader support keeps both the web reference and the community Rust server online every wipe.

Once or every month, and you pick the amount.

Where the money goes

The website: A server hosts the pages and reads skin prices and the item store every day to keep them current. The domain name comes on top.
The Rust server: A second machine runs the tutorial server around the clock, free to join.

Helping without paying

The adverts on this site pay part of the bills too. Some are affiliate links: if you sign up after following one, the company pays us a commission at no cost to you.

Tell other players about the site. Send a page to your team, or drop a link when someone on your server asks something it answers.

Follow RustPotato on the networks you already use, and join the Discord.

Frequently asked questions about supporting RustPotato

What does a Ko-fi contribution to RustPotato pay for?

Contributions to RustPotato on Ko-fi pay for two recurring infrastructure bills: the web server that builds and serves the wiki, skin price database, and calculators, and the dedicated machine hosting the RustPotato community game server. Neither project carries a paywall or paid membership tier.

Are any RustPotato wiki pages or calculators locked behind a paywall?

Every wiki page, monument guide, skin market tracker, and interactive calculator on RustPotato is completely free to use without creating an account or buying a subscription. Reader tips on Ko-fi are strictly voluntary and unlock no exclusive site features or gameplay advantages.

How can I support RustPotato without spending money?

Players can support RustPotato for free by whitelisting the site in their ad blocker, sharing calculator and item links in Discord or Reddit threads, and following the official community channels. Leaving the two non-intrusive house banners visible helps cover monthly hosting bills.

Why does RustPotato refuse skin-gambling sponsorships?

RustPotato refuses skin-gambling and roulette sponsorships to keep its wiki, probability calculators, and skin price tools trustworthy and safe for all Rust players. Instead, the site relies on modest first-party banners, verified affiliate links, and voluntary reader contributions through Ko-fi.

Does supporting RustPotato on Ko-fi grant in-game perks on the server?

Donations through Ko-fi fund dedicated server hardware and network bandwidth rather than pay-to-win kits or combat advantages on the RustPotato game server. All players compete under identical rules each wipe regardless of whether they have contributed financially to the project.

Where can I report a bug or suggest a feature for RustPotato?

Players can report data discrepancies, calculator bugs, or new tool ideas by joining the official RustPotato Discord server or emailing the editorial contact address. Community bug reports and wipe-day feedback directly shape each update to the wiki and browser tools.
