Example
Live interface example: the actual structure and target quantity controls. Try changing them to recalculate total durability.
01

Choose a structure

Select a door, wall, window, hatch or another target type and enter the exact quantity of matching targets.

02

Compare destruction methods

Check C4, rocket, explosive ammunition and tool requirements. The method with the lowest sulphur cost is not always the fastest.

03

Add targets to a raid plan

For a mixed base, add several structure types. Slx Rust Tracker combines them into one calculation and saves the current plan for your team.

04

Connect resource monitors

Storage Monitors on containers and tool cupboards automatically account for ready-made explosives, tools and raw materials at your primary Rust+ base.

05

Refresh your stock before leaving

Slx Rust Tracker uses ready-made items first, then calculates the crafting needed for what remains. If some monitors did not respond, check again before the raid.

Practical example

A mixed raid through doors and a wall

Add several sheet metal doors and one armoured wall to the plan. Compare fast and economical options, then enter the explosives you already have. The calculator shows what is ready and what still needs crafting.

Check the result

  • The type and quantity of each structure are correct.
  • Your chosen method accounts for speed as well as sulphur.
  • Ready-made items and raw materials are updated before you leave.
  • The plan includes a margin for missed shots and unexpected repairs.
Things to know

A calculation helps you prepare

Actual use can change with missed shots, repairs, splash damage, server settings and your chosen impact point.

Reverse calculation

If you know your stock of explosives or tools, the item-based mode shows how many complete structures it can destroy.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to calculate a raid?

No. The website calculator works without signing in. You need an account to save raid plans, collaborate on them with your team and connect resource monitors.

Will the calculation match actual resource use?

It is preparation, not a guarantee. Actual use varies with missed shots, repairs, splash damage, server settings and the impact point you choose. Allow a margin.

Can I calculate in reverse?

Yes. Enter your stock of explosives or tools in the item-based mode to see how many complete structures it can destroy.

What matters besides sulphur cost?

Speed. The cheapest method in sulphur is not always the most practical, so the calculator shows options side by side and marks a practical choice.

You know how much. Now find the right time

The dashboard shows a selected player’s typical offline window, when their base is usually empty. If your own base is raided, it can call you on Telegram and announce the alert in Discord.
