Transform Your Base Into a Gallery

RustForge is the ultimate automation tool for aspiring artists in the world of Rust. Gone are the days of spending hours manually pixel-painting a sign only to be raided mid-project. RustForge takes any image, from high-fidelity photos to pixel art, and automatically paints it directly onto your in-game canvas with machine precision.

Core Functionality (Free for All Users)

The foundation of RustForge provides everything you need to start creating:

• Automated Precision Painting: Reproduce any image accurately onto in-game signs with automated mouse movements and color selection.

• Configurable Painting Area: Use hotkey-driven overlays (F9/F10) to perfectly align your canvas and palette.

• Standard Painting Methods: Methodical line-by-line painting and standard dithering for classic sign art.

• VoidWeave Painting Method: Paints each pixel individually. This method produces the highest quality, most accurate results, with the limited 64 color in-game palette, especially for detailed images, gradients, and pixel art.

• Full Session Control: Pause, resume, or stop your painting at any time with customizable hotkeys.

• Adjustable Speed: Tailor the painting speed to match your PC performance and server lag.

Artistic Control & Filters

Fine-tune your masterpiece before the brush ever touches the sign:

• Stylized Filters: Oil Paint, Charcoal Sketch, Comic Book, Watercolor, and more.

• Technical Filters: Dithering, Pixel Art/Mosaic, and Line Art.

• Image Enhancement: Gaussian Blur, Sharpening, and Median filtering to clean up noisy images.

• Background Color Ignore: Tell RustForge to skip specific colors (like white borders or green screens) to save massive amounts of time.

How It Works

• Load: Choose any image from your PC or a URL.

• Capture: Use the hotkeys to quickly define your in-game palette and canvas area.

• Configure: Select your painting speed, filter, and painting method.

• Paint: Press Start and watch RustForge handle the rest.

RustForge Sign Painter relies heavily on a stable framerate.  The default settings are optimized for all systems, low-end or high-end. Higher FPS means you can have a faster Painting Speed , and a lower Precision Timing Delay value, Lower FPS means you should use lower Painting Speeds , and higher or the default Precision Timing Delay (20ms).

Below are the Recommended Painting Speed Settings based on your average FPS

⚠ Important Notes

• Supported aspect ratios: 4:3 and 16:9 only (standard 1080p / 1440p / 4K).

Ultrawide and other widescreen ratios are not supported.

• Rust in-game UI Scale must be set to 1.0.

Other UI scales change element positions and will cause mis-clicks.

RustForge is built with stability in mind, featuring high-DPI support, advanced painting methods, and tools, with optional Premium features available via DLC to unlock advanced high-fidelity painting methods and quality-of-life enhancements.
