Are your storage containers full of excess organic matter? Turn those items into Low Grade Fuel with the Biofuel Generator! Added in the Rust October 2026 Livestock Update, the Biofuel Generator connects the recently added animal husbandry systems to sustainable fuel-farming operations. Farmers, roamers, and anyone looking for a long-term way to generate Low Grade Fuel for their base should keep reading this guide.

How to Get a Biofuel Generator in Rust?

Note: Image courtesy of AKay. Rust players can craft a Biofuel Generator using 250x Metal Fragments and 150x Wood at a Workbench Level 1, making it a fairly accessible workstation after a server wipe. However, you must first craft its blueprint, which requires 30x Scrap at a Research Table. Alternatively, get the blueprint from the Tier 1 Workbench Tech Tree for a total of 105x Scrap. The Livestock Update also makes the Biofuel Generator a practical choice for any base, since animal husbandry provides an additional stream of organic resources. Livestock such as cows, bulls, and lambs can provide the materials needed for the generator. Doing so lets players and their squads maintain steady Low Grade Fuel supplies.

Using the Biofuel Generator

Using the Biofuel Generator in Rust is reasonably straightforward, but it’s not a fully automated workstation. Start by placing organic material into its input slots. Then, supply the machine with the necessary 5 power. Next, stir it manually to start processing. The generator converts each item’s caloric value into Low Grade Fuel. So, an item with higher calories generates more Low Grade Fuel. Each processing cycle continues until the generator needs attention, so players should consider staying at their bases if they’re farming fuel through this workstation. It's also important to mention that adding more material interrupts the current string state. That means you must load everything you want to process before starting the cycle. Nonetheless, it’s possible to connect the Biofuel Generator to a light, alarm, or other circuit to tell you when it needs stirring.

Biofuel Generator Inputs & Outputs

The Biofuel Generator in Rust accepts a broad range of organic materials as inputs. However, each item placed doesn’t provide the same Low Grade Fuel value. For instance, cooked meat often yields better results than raw or spoiled meat. Check the complete input-and-output list below, as of the Livestock Update, to compare each available material. Then, find the most efficient way to turn your surplus resources into Low Grade Fuel.
