How Many Satchels for a Wooden Floor?
3 satchels
— or 2 from the soft side
3 satchels destroys a Wooden Floor (250 HP) from the hard side. That's 1,440 sulfur once you count the gunpowder, and about 24s to place.
Incendiary Rocket is cheaper for this.
1× Incendiary Rocket costs 300 sulfur against 1,440 for 3 satchels — a difference of 1,140 sulfur per wooden floor. If you've already got the satchels, use them; if you're farming from scratch, don't.
What 3 satchels costs
These are full craft costs — the sulfur figure includes everything that goes into the gunpowder, which is why it's bigger than the recipe on the item page suggests. Sulfur is the number that actually matters, because it's the thing you farm.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many satchels for a Wooden Floor in Rust?expand_more
3 satchels to destroy a Wooden Floor from the hard side — that's 1,440 sulfur once you count the full gunpowder chain. From the soft side (inside face) it's 2, because the interior takes more damage per hit.
What's the soft side of a Wooden Floor?expand_more
The soft side is the interior-facing face — the side you see from inside the base. It takes roughly 34% less to break, so 2 satchels instead of 3. If you can get an angle on the inside face through a doorway or window, take it. On a wall, the soft side is the one without the visible seams.
Are satchels the cheapest way to raid a Wooden Floor?expand_more
No. Incendiary Rocket is cheaper on sulfur for this target — 1× costs 300 sulfur versus 1,440 for 3 satchels. That said, cheapest isn't always right: satchels may be faster to place or already in your base, and sulfur you've already farmed is a sunk cost.
How much sulfur is 3 satchels?expand_more
1,440 sulfur, plus 1,980 charcoal and 240 metal fragments. That's the full craft cost including the gunpowder each satchel needs, not just the final recipe.
How long does it take to raid a Wooden Floor with satchels?expand_more
About 24s of placement time for 3 — that's the deploy time, not the farming. The farming is the real cost, and it's why people check this number before they commit.
Amounts come from the same sourced raid chart as our raid calculator and every /raid/ page, so they can't disagree with each other — verified for the July 2026 wipe. Deployables and external walls are approximate; always test on your own server build. Sulfur includes the full gunpowder chain.
