Rust Map Making Wiki
Rust Topology (summarized)
What is Topology?
Topology is the group of layers that make up the map we walk on in-game. These are divided into 3 groups:
- Biome: The underlying layer that makes up the general temperature of the land
- Splat: The visual ground texture layer that you see when painting
- Topology: The invisible layer that controls what spawns in that painted area
Below you will find what topologies do what in-game. Allowed Topologies are the only topologies that will cause these items to spawn. Green #s will reference Allowed topologies and red #s will reference the blocking topologies.
