Chat Commands

Every Rustalytics in-game !command: server status, cargo, heli, oil rigs, vending search, crafting, recycling, smart switches, timers, and team admin.

How chat commands work

With your team formed and the Rustalytics bot connected, anyone in your team can type !something in Rust team chat. The bot answers in the same chat. Times are accurate to within a few seconds on vanilla servers; modded day/night ratios shift accuracy.

Server status

!pop

Exact player count, queue size, and joining count.

!time Most liked

Current in-game time, time until sunset, time until sunrise. Vanilla day/night ratio assumed.

!wipe

Time since the server's last wipe.

!team

Who in your team is online, offline, or AFK.

World events

!cargo

Whether cargo is out, where it is, how long it has been out, whether it has docked at a harbor, how many crates have spawned, and time since it left if already gone.

!heli

Whether patrol heli is out and where. If it crashed or left, says how long ago and at which grid. Heli spawn alerts also fire automatically as a chat message.

!chinook(also !ch47, !crate)

When the chinook last dropped a locked crate and where. Useful — chinook usually drops on the same monument repeatedly.

!oil(also !smoil / !small for small rig, !loil / !large for large rig) For PVP chads

Status of either oil-rig hackable crate: timer remaining, whether radiation is active, whether the crate has been activated. !oil shows both rigs at once.

!bradley(also !brad)

Bradley APC status — whether it's destroyed, when it last died, and the respawn estimate.

!vendor

Status of the traveling vendor — how long out, when it leaves, when it restocks, or approximately when it respawns next.

Trade and crafting

!buy<item> Most underrated

Searches every vending machine on the map for sell orders matching the item. Returns prices and grid coordinates.

example: !buy thompson

!sell<item>

Same as !buy, but for vending machines that buy the item.

example: !sell scrap

!craft<item>

Materials and workbench tier required to craft the item.

example: !craft ak

!recycle<item>

What you'll get back from a normal recycler.

example: !recycle tactical gloves

!grecycle<item>

Yields from monument-tier recyclers (radtown, outpost), which return more components than the safe-zone recycler.

example: !grecycle road sign vest

Smart switches

!switch<id> <name>

Pair a smart switch with a name. After this, !turrets toggles it on and off.

example: !switch 15234 turrets

!<switchname>

Toggle any switch you've named with !switch.

example: !turrets

!switches

List every switch you've paired and named.

Team admin

!promote<name>

If you're the team leader, transfer leader to a teammate by name. !leader is an alias.

example: !leader bob

Tracking and timers

!tracked

List players you've put trackers on, and whether they're currently online.

!timer<duration> <message>

Sets a timer that pings the team chat after the duration. Accepts 15s, 20m, 3h.

example: !timer 10m airdrop coming down

Server-specific stat commands

On a few partner community servers, in-game stat lookups are wired up: Limitless, Rusticated, Rustoria, Rustinity. Type !<server>kd or !<server>farm (e.g. !rustoriakd) to look up your stats. They're easter eggs rather than core features and only do anything on the matching servers.
