How to respawn resources and animals in Rust

Type spawn.fill_populations in the server console to fill every population spawner, such as resources and animals, to its target density now.

spawn.fill_populations

Fills every population spawner to its target density right now.

spawn.fill_populations

Examples

spawn.fill_populations

Respawn all populations immediately.

What it does

Skips the gradual refill, for example after a wipe, a restart or a change to density settings. Ores, barrels and animals appear across the map at once.

The game's own description: Immediately fills all population spawners to their target density; useful after a wipe or server restart to skip the gradual ramp-up period

Good to know

  • Can cause a short hitch on large maps.

Run it on your server

Type it in the server console or send it over RCON; admins can also use the F1 console in game. To keep a setting, run server.writecfg after changing it, or put it on the launch line as +name value.
