Frequently Asked Questions
How much upkeep does a Rust base cost?expand_more
At a full tool cupboard, daily upkeep is about 10% of your total build cost. Bigger bases cost proportionally more, and the rate rises as the TC empties.
Where do I see my build cost?expand_more
Open your tool cupboard — it lists the resources required and the upkeep drain. Enter those build-cost totals above to get your daily upkeep.
What happens if upkeep runs out?expand_more
Once the tool cupboard is empty, your structures start to decay and will eventually be destroyed. Keep it stocked with the right resources for your building tier.
