- This is the start of a series of RUST electricity guides and how to's. This first part covers all of the basics such as where to get electricity components, how to connect electricity, how to set up electricity circuits.
This electricity guide episode may seem a bit full on and complicated but it's established the foundation for doing some really awesome stuff in RUST with electricity. Most importantly it establishes a circuit so that you can use electricity while your battery charges.
The new videos on the RUST electricity system are going to be much faster and more simple. We just had to establish the groundwork first to allow us to properly use electricity.

I've noticed since the update went live you seem to be able to get the T2 electricity components out of the average crates. This includes the wind turbine though it seems to have a very low drop rate (or I've been really unlucky). So might be worth saving your scrap and holding off on buying it if you don't desperately need it.
What controls the spesific wind speeds in rust for it to charge batteries?
As far as I can tell it's not actual wind, it's just a variable that randomly changes to simulate wind so nothing actually controls it. I'll fully test it though and see if putting one on a mountain changes anything lol.
@@Malonik Thanks for the reply, also so quickly to!
Malonik when the turbine is on the mountain its quicker. But when its on the ground not so fast.
Can second this. Had literally went and bought it and started farming for resources and then found it. 7th day since wipe,
The thought and effort gone Into this update is mad. Definitely one of the most active developers for any game I've seen. This update is awesome and I look forward to more to come. I great tutorial
I finally figured out how to achieve this steady source of power on my own and then 5 minutes later saw this video. This a really important part to have in your circuit if you want to run it all day and night without manually toggling switches and I haven't seen anyone else explain it. Good stuff!
Best Electric Tutorial I've seen yet! I'll be back for more. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
No worries! There's definitely more on the way! :)
Rust Needs to add the camera’s that we now use for turrets to also let us use them as camera’s we can put above our doors and spy people with that are door camping or trying to raid
Hell yeah! Imagine being able to sit in a control room, watching raiders coming in and opening turret trap doors and such when they hit different points. Would add a whole new level to base defense.
@@Malonik And create an app to install on your mobile so you can watch and activate it at work ;) too much?
Sounds all fun and games, but online raiding isnt easy as it is anyway. unless your rocketing through everything with a zerg. wisely built base is easy to defend

4th grade grammar pro tip: There's no apostrophe in a plural.
Great stuff Mal! Awesome idea to make a series on the basics and do slow walkthroughs!
Hey, i've been watching a lot of your builds. I've tried to learn the Phoenix2 and figured I'd buff it a bit with electricity by making all the turret doors open with a single switch. When you think about it, it should apply to any build using the triangle-double-garage-door-turret setup. It could be cool to have a 360 degree turret cover and open all the doors at once. You should try it out in your future designs if you hadn't yet.
@@Lordemus yeah, that was one of the first things that came to my mind when electricity came out
Let's try that tomorrow :-)
th-cam.com/video/cAd_PZAHKTc/w-d-xo.html this was my take on Phoenix 2 with electricity on the update wipe it was amazing, later I changed the switches on the doors to a 3 switch master switch design so i could control weather one side or both sides opened.
finally redstone makes it to rust xD.
Roflmao pretty much just with far less functionality... Well currently at least....
Still helpful 2+ years later, thank you man for making this tutorial it really helped me
Great video! Super useful guide for learning the electricity basics Facepunch just added.
Found the shill.
Thanks Michael! I'm already working on videos expanding on the electricity system. They're starting out with the basics and will end up covering really crazy setups.
Also had to google what a shill is Kevin lol. If anyone was going to be a shill it'd be Galthad, though people know he works closely with me on videos so I guess that doesn't really work lol.
Absolutely perfect vid, i was looking for a simple and easy to follow starter on the electric side o things in rust (I literally just started with this game) and you delivered in aces. Thankyou.
No worries! Glad I could help!
Very well explained and laid out! Keep it up!
Very easy to follow and with some clever tinkering you can easily upgrade. Thank you!
No worries, glad you enjoyed it. :)
That's a really clever way to get around the inability of batteries to be charged and decharged simultaniously.
That actually was my biggest gripe with the system so far and I hope Helk had this changed as it makes what are easy-to-understand and simple circuits into pretty complicated ones. I honestly doubt any player that doesn't have a better understanding of electronics would have figured this out on their own.
Yeah Gal and I were ready to write off the electricity system until we got this working. It really is essential to having sustainable power for your base.
@@Malonik I kinda had it figured out for the most part. the only thing that was throwing me off was the OR Switch. I was trying to use XOR but couldn't get it to work for the life of me. I would, however like to find a way to keep the battery from draining while the switches are turned off. The blocker seems to be drawing power?
Amazing content and delivery. Keep up the good work man and you'll go places.
Thanks! :)
Amazing video. I can't wait to try it out!
Thanks! Let me know how you go with it. :)
Loved the video mate! A nice analysis. Keep up the good work soldier!
Thanks! There's plenty more coming!
This is really well explained. Thank you.
Thank you for the video, it really helped me understand the system
No worries. :) There's plenty more on the way to explain various things with the system.
Good Idear to make the Series! I will follow closely!
Thanks! I thought it might be a good idea given that the electricity system is pretty complex. :)
Its a really good idear! I understand nothing of it. So imma watch the vids to get the hand of it. Dont see any 1 els really doing it
what a great explanation with good english !!!! TKS Malonik.
Great vidoe mal 👍
Thanks! :)
I have built multiple of these, and I think they work really well. I do have a suggestion on making a system that turns lights on during the night and turns them off during the day. I figured out how to make it but I can't figure out how to add a switch that can turn it on and off no matter what time it is outside. Thanks for your help !!
Brilliant stuff! You gonna get tonnes of new followers and Subs! : D
Yes works (and thanks!) but also I wish Rust had a bit more streamlined Power because I end up with a build that is mostly power for the "in betweener" items and then my 3 ceiling lights are like LOL flickering at best.
thank you for this, i was trying to figure out how to toggle pulling/pushing to the battery
No worries, it's definitely a handy thing to base your electrical networks off.
thought this was a 500k sub channel based on video quality.
You are the best, thanks mate!
Just explain to us what you did exactly to prevent electricity from getting wasted**********
I'd like to see an explanation on the Windmill's functionality. The "Laser Detector" also sounds like a fun one, want to know more about it.
Windmills are just an alternative to solar panels that work during the night. They provide more power than solar panels but it's also more unreliable as it's powered by wind which as far as I can tell is a random variable more so than actual wind (in other words having them on a mountain won't mean more power).
The laser detector is more or less an on off switch. If something is in the laser it's on, if not then it's off.
thank you! I had a migraine last night trying to figure this out. no daisy chains lol
No worries! I'm already working on more videos exploring how to use electricity so hopefully you won't end up with any more migraines from it.
most underrated circuit 2021 ^^ nobody can play with a small Battery anymore xD
thank you so much we just got it in console this is very useful❤❤
No worries! You'll find a lot of my content very useful over the next few big console patches. :)
Your intro is sick!
Thanks! Probably about time I change up the images in it..
Great tutorial thanks 👍
No worries! :)
How tf do you only have 6.5k subs? Amazing quality video (except the intro!) :)
Roflmao thanks! The intro has since gone! :)
That's very cool they added realistic behavior to semi-shaded panels. Real panels don't drop to 0 output, but nearly 0 if you don't have a more than basic setup.
Yeah also the wind turbines actually do fluctuate although I think that's just based on a random variable more so than actual wind lol.
Thank you so much
No worries. :)
Wow. I feel like i can be an electrician IRL. Ty for this. Even tho i still have no idea what too do in RUST lol.
You do learn as you play. Some of the best and harshest lessons come from getting screwed over lol. The best thing you can do is to stick with it.
Automated security lights outside of walls of on top of high walls would be pretty cool, I could see electricity bring a lot of cool things to change the game
Really nice video helped me lots now to be able to design your own power plant for your base be ideal
holy shit! only 3,1k subs? you deserve wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy more
Why don't you have more subs bro!? Seriously, great content will be looking forward to more videos from you. Obviously, subbing :)
Thanks for the sub and the kind words. :)
You're welcome! If you're on today join me on Rusty Playgrounds great modded server 😊
great job
Thanks! :)
Malonik, if you could- would you make a third part of you rust 101 tutorial for beginners? I need help starting rust, but with the new updates it has been very hard to start. Sincerely, Your fan
very nice
Lets sub and like this guy to the mooon and back!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, this electro stuff really made my head spin.
Cant wait for the next one!
No worries, thankfully it gets easier the more you mess around with it.
@@Malonik btw, i did this, and it powers my light and still charges my battery at the same time .
During the day or at night?
@@Malonik day. in the vid i thought u say that u cant charge and use power at the same time? maybe i missunderstand. sry
Ah okay, nah that's the whole point of our power circuit, it allows you to use power and charge your battery simultaneously throughout the day and then swaps to the battery for night. :)
well done.
Dude I watched your video but I got rust a week later and I’ve been serching for this for a month now
4:39 what is that lamp over the door called, and where did you get it? i cant find it in the spawn menu or on the rust wiki...
@Malonik at the beginning you said connecting two combiners can't connect, how would I be able to add more power to the circuit later on if that is the case?
I tried adding a AND between two combiners but it doesnt work either some reason.
Whats the name of the deployable light source at 4:44? I cant find it anywhere and I thought I have everything researched.
Also, can you power search light with electricity?
The light source is a simple light which unfortunately didn't make it into this update. As it currently stands we've got to use the ceiling light. As for the search light I'll have to jump on and check. Honestly I forget it's even in the game most of the time lol.
Very well put together - thanks for this.
Could you do a panic button tutorial (close all doors at once or something)
keep up the great work
I was actually playing around with that idea a few days ago. Had a working prototype but the main issue with it is that if anyone raids you and they get to that panic button they can open your base wide up.
@@Malonik fair enough point actually.
how about an auto closing door when you run in?
That I've got working. The only vunerability it has currently on my prototype is that it can be opened if there is a raider on each side of it. I'm currently trying to fix that but it might be impossible lol.
Also it occured to me that if the raiders bring a battery, switch and wire tool then once they have your TC they can just open any door that has a door control on it by quickly rigging up their own switch to it.
@@Malonik That would mean removing all door controllers every time you go offline / are getting online raided. Makes door camping and going deep much easier though
Yeah exactly, I'm really struggling to find things that are worth doing because the vunerabilities they cause outweigh the positives to having them lol.
Breakdown :-
1. Splitter.
2. Electrical branch.
3. Right output from branch to power in battery.
4. Branch out to blocker passthrough.
5. Battery output to blocker input.
6. Power out blocker to the or swtich.
7. Splitter power out to or switch.
8. From the ORswitch you can do whatever you like.
nice vid
Hey I was wondering is there a circuit that does not drain the battery during the night. I have ceiling light set up and the battery charges and ceiling light is on during the day but during the night the battery drains even if the switch for the ceiling lights is on or off
So before I watched this I was just messing with the components. What I did was connect two solar panels to that red box thing whatever it's called. And then I connected that red box thing to one battery. And then connected the battery to the turret. Does that give anymore power to the battery? Or do I only want to use one solar panel for one battery
Should be fine, check that your battery is actually charging during the day and see how long it lasts at night. Also position the solar panels so that you catch sun for as much of the day as possible.
Nice
Thanks! :)
hello, i've got an issue that i hope you can help me with, i'm using your system, but with wind turbines, the problem i'm having is that sometimes the windturbines won't give that much power, which results in my turrets being offline, is it possible to switch over to the battery if the wind turbines can't handle it? because the battery will only get on if the turbines are completely offline or destroyed
Btw, I had no clue you could rout the wires on the wall like that, all my wires are just going straight to my turret and it looks stupid
can you help me about how can i set my farm setup i need to power up 18 ceiling lights for 3x3x2 farm base but i cant light them both equally
How do you then add more batteries? As soon as I add multiple batteries to a combiner, they begin discharging
Noice. Very helpful.
Thanks! :)
Been doing electricity for months now. I do the basic battery circuit but I'm thinking replacing the OR Switch with another root combiner would prevent cutting power quantity that first goes into your splitter from the source wouldnt it? I'm using turbines and with 74+ power from them I'm barely able to power two separate inputs at 15 each due to the OR switch not combining power.
EDIT: nevermind I would just replace the first splitter with a branch and branch off maybe 5 for my batteries. They're already at max capacity so don't need much charge while my turrets can draw more turbine power. This is on a big clan base on vanilla.
What I don't get is the switches. Is there only one kind of switch that you alter as you place it? Or do you have to find the And and Or switches independently?
if you can figure out how to make a two way switch for lights, one inside the base, and one at the entrance, so you can power off as you leave or visa versa. that would be legendary. trying to get my head around the concept
hey bro ! how do you do the special effects at the beginning and end of this video?
I can only turn on two lights with this. Any suggestion why? And my output power got split in to thirds. Getting 21 from the solar panels and the output is only 7.
Ok so I followed your guide, got Sparks from the or switch and seems like my power doesn't work anymore 😭 any ideas if something changed since this video
What's that wall mounted light called? Did it make it to the live game when electricity launched? All I've found that works so far is ceiling lights :(
I was thinking that it would but sadly it doesn't look like it did yet. :(
Is there a way to complete this system with an XOR switch? Searched far and wide, no OR switch for me only XOR ones
I DID LIGHTS BUT THE TIMER SAID I GOT NO IT AT 0 AND LIGHT IS NOT TURNIG on ?
please make tut
i did what i saw for door but it wont power
I never thought Rust would evolve to the point where there is complex electricity solutions.
Honestly i think it will change raids a lot cuz you can create mechanisms for auto-turrets defence. js
The triggers are extremely hard to hide and easy to get rid of though.
@@Malonik The lasers don't seem to be easy to destroy. They are harder to hide, but i have found some pretty sneaky things you can do with them :-) Play with lasers in the base to use as triggers for hiding traps ;-)
I've been using this but my only issue is there is a long delay when switching from battery to solar panel and vice versa. Anyone know a good updated guide?
"it adds nothing to base defence" LULW i 1v5 countered a raid doing legit nothing. i let my auto opening doors and traps do the work
Lol nice one! I really should have said it shouldn't add anything rather than adds nothing roflmao.
Is there a way to attach two small batteries to the circuit for added power during the night?
If so, can someone tell me how as I have no clue what I would do.
We are a tryin, there's a bug right now where two blockers can't be plugged into a root combiner. Without the blockers the root combiner would drain the batteries during the day instead of charging them. Once this bug is fixed the planned circuit should work.
i don't understand how to make my own electricity : I only want to make a toggle switch (with 2x electric switch) with a Xor for turn on 2x ceiling lights at the same time but whatever i try it don't works.
I have 2 solar pannels for charging the battery and the toggle switch directly on the output of the battery but it seems the battery discharge hitself.... Please help me, i have only a very little base and don't want so much components that you.
The "charge left" on my battery is always 4sec. And if my 2x pannels have 14 energy it's not 28 in the battery, only 14, why?
(sorry for bad english)
Is this still valid? I'm trying to use this method but am splitting off the power to charge multiple batteries at once then combining their outputs with the root combiner, it doesn't seem to work properly.
You can booby trap your loot rooms and make them difficult as hell to get to, even set up a maze in your base using the switches to make it take longer, and even turn said maze into a death gauntlet if you wanted.
Does the root combiner(can’t combine power from two root combiner in to one) and the battery( can’t input and output at the same time) still stands?
Thankfully no!! They have since patched that so you can actually use the root combiners! That being said they still have to be on the power source end and won't work mid circuit (for that you'd use and / or switches).
Malonik what about the batteries?
Whats the purpose of the OR switch? Couldn't you just run the output from the blocker to a switch or a splitter?
Is it possible to connect multiple solar panels in to one large battery?
So how do I expand this circuit with more solar panels and batteries?
Hi, I'm currently running a solar panel > large battery > branch > 2*2 splitters, each opening 4 doors - for some reason when the doors are open the power drains fast and they only seem to stay open for about 5 minutes or so, any idea why? It seemed longer when I was doing the same system with a small battery and only 6 doors.
That's really weird... The batteries send out their max power regardless of what you have plugged into them so it really shouldn't change speed if you have more or less attached to it.
The only thing that comes to mind is that it would drain faster if it was night rather than day because the battery wouldn't be receiving charge from the solar panel.
@@Malonik That's what I thought - the main difference is that I'm running two extra splitters and two extra doors yet the large battery seems to have the same amount of charge. In addition to this... the large battery I placed only has half HP but you would still expect it to have considerably more charge (I can't seem to repair it with hqm and a hammer?)
Yeah you would expect that but nah. The benefit to using a large battery over a small one is that the large one can hold way more charge time.
But yeah whether you have 1 or 50 components in your circuit either battery is still going to send out it's full charge.
Also haven't tried to repair it personally but according to rustlabs it would be 25 HQ for a full repair with a hammer.
@@Malonik Yeah that's why I'm so confused, the large battery should be keeping the doors open for almost a whole day time cycle. :/
I tried repairing the large battery with a hammer and HQM (carrying 100) before I plugged anything in to it but sadly the repair function doesn't seem to work with it.
You know, it is actually more complicated than I expected it to be..
Yeah I didn't expect them to go so full on with it either.
You can add a Single battery to that circuit to improve it. Just between the path between splitter and the or Switch.
You can do a whole lot more nowadays. Back when I dropped that vid electricity had literally just come out like 4 hours prior and it was a mess with some components not even working right lol.
@@Malonik You should update the guide! I enjoyed watching and your a great teacher.
@@DarkSilvix Aww thanks! Yeah I've gotta sit down and redo a bunch of my guides... a bunch of them need an overhaul to account for the immense amount of new stuff lol.
it can effect raids if someone is raiding at night people can see if they have lights in there base
Very true! I hadn't thought of that... You could always hook the lights into a little HBHF circuit so if someone that isn't auth'd is inside the lights turn off.
The problem I was having as I was trying to wrap my head around it was battery charge time. When I hooked up two solar panels to my battery it didn't appear to charge any faster than with one. When I put a windmill it seemed to go way slower. Something I'm doing wrong. Someone needs to do a tutorial on battery charge times.
Yeah I've been trying to make sense of this. The batteries don't actually charge according to the description on them. Gal and I have tested it thoroughly and it's definitely not a percentage of the power input. I'll actually be addressing a number of issues with the electricity system in my next video in the hope of getting it in front of Facepunch so they can fix them.
First of all thank you for your rust vids. because of that i ventured in the world of rust eletronics. I was wondering if you can help me, im trying to open a garage door and after a few seconds open a door. i have been fiddling with timmers and blockers but without success.
No worries! I took a quick look at it for ya and this is what I came up with. :)
i.imgur.com/CZsnfvB.png
Anyway to add a second battery into the circuit? Cannot work it out because having them plugged into a root combiner drains the battery.
I still have to test it but I'm fairly sure an or switch should do the trick.
I use the big batteries in series, not a problem. You CAN cascade root combiners (I use 1 to connect a pair of east facing solar panels, another to connect a pair of west facing solar panels and the third to 'combine' those 2 outputs and a wind turbine. The caveat with root combiners is that their INPUT can ONLY connect to a power generator (solar or turbine) OR another root combiner (as of January 28th 2018).
Help. My battery reads 99 on the small cathode panel (forgot name) but runs out in less than 20 seconds from 99 percent. What can I do?
I don't think you fully get how electricity works. So the number it reads out on the connection nodes is the amount of power going through that line up to that point. The duration that it lasts comes from looking directly at your battery and seeing the literal time left on it.
If your power is draining too fast you will need to look into splitting your electrical network over multiple circuits or upgrading to large batteries and incorporating windmills.
@@Malonik Alright thank you. I got the basic figured out after trying a few more times. Its just for lights inside my base. Thank you very much.
What is this light that he uses on the wall for example?
That's the new simple light, unfortunately it didn't make it in for this update. Currently the only light that can be hooked up to electricity is the ceiling light.
when i have it connected the celing lights do even turn on at day and somehow i can only turn on 4 lights at once even tho im using a large rechargable battery help me pls, ty
They would be on at day too, the circuit is designed to swap from battery power to solar power automatically so it's constantly providing power throughout the day even though you're using solar panels.
What's your power output from your solar panels? You should definitely be able to get more than 4 lights out of this circuit.
@@Malonik now i think it works the power output is 11 and 20
I put done a solar panel (with clear area) and I keep getting "not enough space" help...
Can a solar panel charge through chain link fence??? Seems like it should.
i noticed you cant send the power out from the ''or switch'' to another root combiner, meaning you cant add this onto an existing power source
Ehm...Correct me If I'm wrong, I'm doing the following using only the blocker without the Electrical Branch
[Splitter]
Splitter 1 OUT -> Battery Input
Splitter 2 OUT -> Blocker Block passthrough
Splitter 3 OUT -> OR Switch
[Battery]
Battery Output to -> Blocker Power in
[Blocker]
Blocker Power Out -> OR Switch
Conclusion, If there is no power on Splitter input, it will automatically switch to batteries. This without using any Electrical Branch.
Any ideea if this is wrong?
Creepy mask! Haha thanks for the video!
flip the branches output so you can set target power that way blocker will switch off when target power drops below that limit and not run down to 2 first, the way its wired here will mean in low light you wont have enough power to run your stuff before battery kicks in, branches work like this , left side is target power ( set with e) and whats left over comes out of right hand side for example if you have 20 power into branch and you set branch to 15 you will get 15 out left and 4 out right when power dips below 20 the right hand side loses power first and at the magic 15 number right hand side will be off and if thats going to blocker it will let power flow through blocker as soon as power gets above 15 blocker shuts off again
is there a way to add a wind turbine to boost power?
Yeah absolutely, hell if you're going for wind turbines just replace the solar panels with one.
Where do you get tech trash from? I literally cant find any at all?
