Electricity is an important part of Rust and allows new usages by powering electrical devices such as CCTV Cameras, Ceiling Lights, etc. It was added for the 5th anniversary of the game in the December 6, 2018 update[1]. Rust doesn't use real-life unit, but uses 'rWM' (rustWatt-minutes).
Mechanics[]
Medium Rechargeable Battery being powered by Large Solar Panel using a Wire Tool.
To produce electricity, it is necessary to have generators that will convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Generators can come from renewable energies such as sun rays with Large Solar Panel or the wind with Wind Turbine, or with fossil energy with a Small Generator.
Once the electricity is produced, It must be stored in batteries. Several sizes exist, this ranges from small to medium to large batteries.
Electricity must be transfer from devices to devices with a Wire Tool.
Electrical components[]
Power Sources and Wiring[]
Power sources generate the electricity needed to power components. The Wire Tool is used to connect components together.
Batteries[]
Batteries are used for storing generated power, which can then be discharged to power components. The larger the size of the battery, the more power it can store and the more power is can output.
Logic Gates and Switches[]
Logic gates and switches manipulate the flow of electricity through wires under certain conditions. They require power themselves to operate.
- Switch
- AND Switch
- OR Switch
- XOR Switch
- RAND Switch
- Timer
- Splitter
- Blocker
- Electrical Branch
- Memory Cell
- Root Combiner
- HBHF Sensor
- Laser Detector
Outputs[]
These components provide a certain effect when they receive enough power.
- Audio Alarm
- Igniter
- Flasher Light
- Siren Light
- Auto Turret
- SAM Site
- Tesla Coil
- Ceiling Light
- CCTV Cameras
Most industrial components also require power to operate.
