Blight Light adds a second crafting menu on top of the normal Rust one. It turns components you loot, such as gears, springs, rifle bodies and tech trash, into items you normally can only find: an LR-300, an L96, a minigun, rockets, C4 and more.
No blueprints are needed and no research. If you have the parts, you can craft it.
At a glance#

| Tabs | Utility & Fun, Military Gear, Elite Gear, Raiding Supplies, and Medical (Emergency Responder only) |
| Recipes | 40 |
| Blueprints needed | None |
| Workbench needed | None. A workbench makes crafting faster |
| Craft time | 10 to 60 seconds |
How to craft#
- Type
/craftto open the panel. - Pick a tab, then pick an item. The panel shows the parts it needs and how many you have.
- Press craft. The item joins your crafting queue and lands in your inventory when it is done.
The first four tabs are open to every player from day one. The Medical tab is only for the Emergency Responder role.
Craft faster with a workbench#
You do not need a workbench, but standing at one cuts the craft time:
| Your workbench | Craft time |
|---|---|
| None | Full time |
| Level 1 | Half time |
| Level 2 or 3 | A quarter of the time |
Your workbench also counts anywhere inside your own building, not just next to the bench. If you are authorised on the tool cupboard and within about 16 m of the base, you get the workbench level of that building. This also works on your boat.

Note: The menu calls one recipe "M4 (Assault Rifle)". What you get is the normal Assault Rifle.
Tip: The ballistic and BDU armour mostly costs bulk wood and stone. A couple of quarries and a good farming session cover it.
Tier 4: Raiding Supplies#
| Item | Parts (for one) | Craft time | Max per craft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multiple Grenade Launcher | 10 Duct Tape, 5 Metal Springs, 100 High Quality Metal, 5 Gears, 10 Tech Trash | 45 s | 1 |

Explosives, rockets and C4 can be crafted up to 100 at a time. The parts are multiplied by how many you make.
Tip: Raid supplies eat charcoal. An upgraded furnace with the Charcoal multiplier makes it much faster. See Industry. Use them on Raidable Bases.
Medical (Emergency Responder only)#
Players who picked the Emergency Responder role get a Medical tab. See Roles.
| Item | Parts | Craft time |
|---|---|---|
| Blight Serum | 5 Orchids, 5 Sunflowers, 5 Jars of Honey, 2 Anti-Radiation Pills | 30 s |
| Painkillers | 2 Anti-Radiation Pills, 1 Large Medkit, 1 Vodka Bottle | 30 s |
| Splint | 10 Medical Honey Bandages, 1,000 Wood, 200 Low Grade Fuel | 30 s |
The Blight Serum cures rabies, the Z13 virus and tapeworm. Painkillers end a concussion. A Splint sets a broken leg. See Health. Everyone else can buy all three in the shop or at the Hub's Medical vending machine.
Where the parts come from#
- Duct Tape, Bleach and Sticks: Chimera Coin shop (1,000 CC, 1,000 CC and 500 CC each), plus normal loot.
- Gears, springs, rifle bodies, pipes, blades, sheet metal, road signs, tech trash: barrels, crates, dungeons, raidable bases and recycling. See Loot.
- Recycling an Assault Rifle gives bonus tech trash and scrap. See Industry.
Tips#
- Build at home. Crafting inside your own base with a level 2 or 3 workbench takes a quarter of the time.
- Craft raid supplies in bulk. One 100-rocket craft is one click.
- Let the queue finish. Logging off or dying cancels everything still in your crafting queue. You get the parts back, but not the time you waited.
