RUST+ COMPANION TOOL — UNOFFICIAL
LIC mirrors every Storage Monitor in real time, calculates what you can craft right now, and can run your Industrial Crafters for you — turning switches on, watching output, and shutting them off the moment a target's hit.
Windows · Local or Cloud mode · Pairs directly via Rust+
Connect multiple Storage Monitors and see every box's contents plus combined totals, updated automatically. Rename, expand, collapse, or remove monitors as your base changes — item images and the item catalogue stay current on their own.
See what you can craft right now from live inventory, with a visual recipe dependency tree colour-coded green / yellow / red for available, craftable, and short. Handles nested recipes — Rockets, Explosives, Gun Powder — and shows exactly what's missing for the quantity you want.
Add your own craftable items with searchable ingredient autocomplete, reusing known sub-recipes automatically. Edit or remove them any time.
Reserve items you plan to craft and LIC deducts the materials virtually, so the rest of the calculator only sees what's actually left. Reserved output feeds straight into the next recipe up the chain — reserve 100 Explosives and the Rocket calculator can use them immediately.
Set minimum targets for the materials that matter and LIC compares them against live stock — Ready, Low, or No Stock — counting ore toward processed resources. Generates a Farm List so you know exactly what to go collect.
Pair and rename Smart Switches, control them from the dashboard or team chat (!garage on), assign hotkeys, and share commands with teammates who don't even have LIC installed. Smart Alarms show state and feed LIC's notifications.
In-game time, sunrise/sunset, population, queue, team list and alive/dead status at a glance — plus Patrol Helicopter, Cargo Ship, CH47, and Oil Rig crate activity when Rust+ exposes it. Sections hide themselves automatically when data isn't available.
Commands like !time, !pop, !farm and !devices work straight from Rust team chat, plus hourly time announcements, Farm List reminders, event and death/respawn reports — with duplicate-message protection if more than one teammate runs LIC.
Run the Local Agent on your own PC — no Discord, nothing running when you're offline — or use LIC Cloud to keep the chat bot and Rust+ services alive with the desktop app closed, each account's devices kept fully separate.
LIC doesn't just tell you what to craft — it can run the crafters. Assign a recipe to a paired Smart Switch and a finished-item Storage Monitor once, then start production straight from the calculator.
Assign each recipe to a crafter Smart Switch, a finished-item Storage Monitor, and a safety timeout. Configure a crafter once and reuse it for every future run.
LIC measures only newly produced output, shows live progress toward the target, and turns the crafter off automatically the moment it's reached — then clears the fulfilled reservation.
Respects real batch sizes (10 Gun Powder per craft, for example), checks raw materials before starting, and supports chaining multiple production stages in sequence.
EXAMPLE — MULTI-STAGE RUN
Note: Rust+ can control crafter power but can't change an Industrial Crafter's selected blueprint. If Gun Powder and Rockets share the same physical crafter, LIC stops between stages so you can switch the recipe manually before continuing.
