Rust Farming and Upkeep
What to farm first, how much stone a cupboard eats, and when sulfur is a trap.
Order
Wood, stone, cloth, then metal. Sulfur is for when you can actually use it. Barrel roads print scrap. Nodes near home beat a 10-grid tour.
Upkeep
The cupboard is the raid timer you pay daily. If you cannot farm the stone, you cannot own the honeycomb. Downsize.
Sulfur
Spread it. Farming more than you can defend is how you fund someone else's rockets.
Quarries / excavator
Group content. Solo 2x1 players get third-partied. Treat them like Launch Site.
Food and cloth
Hemp and a small farm keep you in the game. Starving on a sulfur run is a naked walk back.
