1. What is the Rust Raid Cost Calculator?

The Rust Raid Cost Calculator helps players estimate the resources needed to raid a base by calculating the total number of explosives required based on the number of walls and explosives needed per wall.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Walls} \) — Number of walls to break through
• \( \text{Explosives per Wall} \) — Number of explosives needed to destroy one wall

Explanation: This basic calculation helps raiders plan their resource gathering before attempting a raid.

3. Importance of Raid Cost Calculation

Details: Accurate raid cost estimation is crucial for successful raids in Rust. Underestimating can leave you vulnerable, while overestimating may waste valuable resources.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of walls you need to break through and the number of explosives required per wall. Both values must be positive integers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does this account for different wall materials?
A: No, this is a basic calculator. You should adjust the "Explosives per Wall" based on the wall material (wood, stone, metal, armored).

Q2: What about splash damage or satchel chance?
A: This calculator assumes direct hits. For splash damage or satchels with failure chance, you may need to add a buffer to your calculations.

Q3: Should I include doors in the wall count?
A: Yes, any barrier that requires explosives to pass through should be included in your wall count.

Q4: Are there more advanced raid calculators?
A: Yes, some calculators account for different building materials, splash damage, and compound designs, but this provides a basic estimate.

Q5: How accurate is this for online raids?
A: This gives you the theoretical minimum. In practice, you may need more due to defenders repairing or your own mistakes during the raid.
