Latest official-source brief

Power Trip changed the cost around the raid, even when the boom stayed familiar.

High walls now use a static 20% upkeep cost, water-well stock is tighter, safe-zone resource spawns changed, and powered monuments can reshape recycler routes.

Upkeep basics

Use the daily values shown in your Tool Cupboard to establish a weekly material target. Add a practical reserve for expansion, missed farming sessions, and emergency repairs.

  • Keep one day of emergency upkeep before roaming or raiding.
  • Track stone and metal separately for honeycomb and doors.
  • Use weekly totals before committing to a larger footprint.

Early-game raid paths

Early raids reward disciplined target selection. Compare door costs, wall routes, available explosives, exposure time, and the resources required to seal the breach.

Recommended decision

A player should leave with one clear answer: raid now, farm more, change path, or avoid the target.

Quick answers, current assumptions

Rust raid-cost questions worth checking before you craft

How much sulfur does one rocket cost?

The current vanilla Rust PC recipe roll-up is 1,400 sulfur per rocket. RaidBench checks the monitored recipe and target counts before releasing paid answers.

How many rockets does a sheet metal door take?

The current RaidBench vanilla reference uses two rockets for one sheet metal door. A mixed method can be cheaper, so compare the complete route instead of one layer.

Should I use C4 or rockets?

C4 concentrates damage on an isolated target. Rockets become more valuable when their splash reaches another useful building piece. The correct comparison is the full route, not one item.

Can I share a RaidBench route with my team?

Yes. Build the route in the calculator and use Copy share link. The link restores targets, quantities, methods, and totals without exposing account information.
