Do I also need RustEdit?

Yes. Crucible generates the terrain, and RustEdit turns it into a playable map and adds monuments, roads and biomes. They work together. See import a heightmap into RustEdit.

What heightmap resolution does RustEdit use?

513, 1025, 2049 and 4097. Crucible matches your map size exactly. See map sizes and resolutions.

Can I sell or share the maps I make?

Yes. Heightmaps and maps you create are yours, including for commercial use. Run them on your servers, share them, or sell them on marketplaces like Codefling or Lone.Design.

How do I test my map?

Run a local Rust server and walk it in game. See test your map on a local server.

Does it run on Mac or Linux?

Crucible is a native Windows app (Windows 10 and 11). Mac and Linux native support is planned for future releases.

How much is it, and how many PCs?

$2.99 per month or $29.99 per year, up to 2 PCs per license. See install and activate.

Why is Crucible Heightmap paid and not free?

The subscription ($2.99 per month or $29.99 per year) funds active development: ongoing updates, new features, and staying compatible with Rust’s frequent updates and RustEdit. No free Rust map generator keeps pace with Rust’s terrain the way Crucible does. Every map you make is yours to keep, share, or sell, so it pays for itself fast for active map makers. Cancel anytime.

How do updates work?

Inside the app. You get a prompt when a new version is ready, with no reinstalls.
