1. What is the Rust Boom Calculator?

The Rust Boom Calculator determines how many explosives are needed to destroy a wall or structure in the game Rust based on the wall's health and the damage of your explosives.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( wall\_health \) — The health points of the wall/structure
• \( explosive\_damage \) — Damage dealt by one explosive
• The result is always rounded up since you can't use partial explosives

Explanation: This calculation helps players plan their raids by determining exactly how many explosives they need to bring.

3. Importance of Calculating Explosives

Details: Accurate calculation prevents wasting valuable explosives and ensures successful raids. Bringing too few means failed raids, while too many wastes resources.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the wall's total health and the damage per explosive. Common values:

• Stone wall: 500 hp
• Metal wall: 1000 hp
• Timber wall: 250 hp
• Satchel Charge: ~57 damage
• Rocket: ~550 damage
• C4: ~550 damage

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why round up the result?
A: You can't use a fraction of an explosive in Rust, so we always round up to ensure you have enough.

Q2: Does this account for splash damage?
A: No, this assumes all damage is applied directly to one wall. Splash damage might reduce needed explosives.

Q3: What about armored walls?
A: Armored walls have 2000 hp. Adjust the wall health input accordingly.

Q4: Does decay affect this calculation?
A: Yes, if walls are decaying, use their current health, not max health.

Q5: What's the most cost-effective explosive?
A: This depends on current resource availability, but rockets are generally more efficient than satchels.
