EXCELLENT VIDEO. As an electrician in rust there is an extreme drought of quality youtube videos on rust electricity. basically all of them are clickbait, filled with misinformation, inefficient, or are just low quality tutorials. This video is none of these. This video provides an excellent beginner friendly and easy to follow introduction to rustricity and great examples on basic use cases of components. This is literally one of the only rust electricity tutorials on youtube with zero misinformation. In fact I believe it is the only one I have ever seen. This is why I'm subscribed to this channel. Jfarr and shadowfrax are the best informative rust channels on the platform period.
Thank you comrade. I'm just a poor boy from a poor family. When I first saw jfarr I was spending over a day crafting a furnace. Irl not rust. Now I know tactical raid designs and defenses, and soon, electricity. I'm decent at Redstone in minecraft and you can do amazing things with it. So hearing this is an amazing tutorial on electricity from m a certified engineer excites me
@@PraiseGod714 suckers bet. You need to get your ass to college, get a full ride as a rust electrician. The world will eat from the palm of your hand. Andrew Tate who?
Holy shit. My friends and I just got back into playing and finally managed to get into the (successfully) raiding phase of the game, however our defenses/tech at our base is very primitive and none of us knew how the electrical side of the game works, this just blew my fucking mind how in depth this whole system goes, def gonna need to rewatch it a few times cuz the applications for this could be nuts! Thanks again
This is by far one of the most intricate and amazing tutorials I've ever seen in a game. Thanks for this, I was totally lost on electricity until I found your video. Keep up the outstanding work!

@@JfarrYT I really appreciate all your videos as i'm new to Rust. I subbed. I cannot find any videos explaining how to wire together 2 or more large batteries while using 2 or more wind turbines. I've been on noob servers for weeks now and many others have the same issue. I just want to run 6 or 7 auto turrets and hopefully have enough power to place some indoor lights at night. Is it possible to have turrets run 24/7 with 2 turbines & 2 large batteries? Any tips and/or if you can point me in the right direction would be appreciated!
@@that773guy4 Here is something I jotted up using the rustrician site. www.rustrician.io/?circuit=9a34f65ad05540bc08814b577acb358c . Hopefully it is somewhat understandable and I added a few notes for what's going on/how to expand. I found if the wind remains at 50% speed, your system won't have enough power to run 3 lights and 6 autoturrets and remain sustainable/refill the batteries. However, the wind is always changing so sometimes you will have enough and other times you won't. So I would recommend at least 3 windmills or 2 windmills and 3+ solar panels for complete stability and future proofing.
buttons AND pressure pads dont need to have an input if you jsut need one power from them. when you push/step on them they generated the 1 power for a second

hey jfarr, awesome video dude! i have an idea for a next video: despawn guide. how long it takes for certain items to despawn, whether they are on ground, people, in a stash etc...
Just some tips: don't ever use the splitter lol, only use it if you are splitting 3 of the exact same things (like 3 auto turrets or car lifts). Everything should just use it's own electrical Branch to control the exact power you need. Also 2 batteries through one Root combiner doesn't work as you think. It actually drains both batteries equally so you normally don't ever want to do that either. You most likely would want... if one battery drains the other kicks in, but it doesn't work like that. Just have 2 separate circuits if you have more than one battery.
I honestly never comment or like many vids. But this is by far the best tutorial I’ve ever gotten. Straight to the point, very understandable when showing your in depth demos
When looking up electricity guides, I got about 5 videos deep before i found someone who was compentent enough to get this info. across well enough. These under-viewed videos are better than the most viewed. Keep it up. This guy is the Veritasium of rust.
Playing solo with 75 turrets surrounded by fences and prison cell. It took me for ever to learn electric but it has saved me from big clan raids and offlines . This video is great
Please, make more videos about Rust electricity, it’s very useful mechanic, but it’s pretty complicated, so not much players use it. Your video explained so much, especially switches, like RAND and memory cell
Had many different ideas for how to do this video. However, I thought an all in one would be the most convenient and fluid compared to breaking it up and repeating information for each video.
One huge issue (bug). Root combining batteries together and drawing a load draws exactly the same load off both batteries. For instance, drawing 10 power from a single turret will draw 10 power from battery A and also 10 power from battery B, for a total of 20 power. So it's best not to use a root combiner post-battery, only pre-battery. I tested this a few months ago by root combining 16 large batteries to attempt to run a whole base. I connected a couple of turrets to the single output, thinking it would only use 20 or so power distributed equally between each battery (20 / 16 batteries). However, each battery showed 20 power usage. I need to test this again actually, as they 'may' have fixed it.
This is a fantastic tutorial overall, but be careful with the root combiners after the batteries - they will automatically pull 100% of the power, even if it's not needed for the circuit!
good thing I watched this. I was always under the impression that 80% efficiency meant that I can only load the batteries with 80% their max output and cap there. That solves a lot of headaches for me. Thank you!
I am a smooth brain liberal arts and comm major and this video helped me immensely to understand Rust grids-especially the animated diagrams of power flow and on/off states. You’ve earned a grateful subscriber for your efforts!
My brain is absolutely fried listening to this and I'm an automotive electrician by trade! x'D Who knew a game could be so complex?! Reminds me of satisfactory :P Great video!
Made it about half way through on my break. Can't wait to finish this video. Awesome video. I'm confident I can master power in rust with your video lol
Great video with easy to understand explanations. Just got back into rust after a long time not playing. Very keen to play around with some funky systems. Thank you for the great content.
Just started playing rust a couple days ago, this guide was hella helpful ! normally I would just recycle these cause I didn’t know any better, this video is real good !
Glad i found this. Playin console Test Branch and had a weeks worth of electric trickling away and couldn't figure out why but know i know 👌👍 big thanks
jfarr your literally my hero right now, When my Partner goes to work, He gives me tasks, Today was electric. And yesterday i looked up your tutorial on farming. You make my life easy right now xD
2:00 7.5 times MORE power is base value x (1+7.5) = 8.5 7.5 times the power is base value x (7.5) = 7.5 The solar panel outputs 20 max and the output of the wind generator is 150 max so it outputs 7.5 times the power, not 7.5 times MORE power. That being said, the wind generator will continue producing at night whereas the solar panel won't produce anything between sunset and sunrise. PEACE
You took a very daunting seeming electric system I wasn't even going to attempt to use until I found your video, now I understand everything to do and how to do it with multiple options, thanks!
Fun fact. There are caves that are jsut close enough to the surface for you to be able to run solar/wind power down there through a surface power base.
Hey could you maybe do like a console guide it would be really helpful cause their are much guides on console and the thing in console are a bit different
Both the pressure pad and the push button modules can send 1 power when activated without having to be connected to a power source. This can help with things like door controllers or toggling memory cells without needing specific power to activate.
One intermediate level use I have found for this is being able to connect an auto-turret to a small battery and toggle it on / off using a button and memory cell. The design is: small battery -> memory cell input, memory cell power out -> turret input, then connect a push button module to the toggle input of the memory cell. Pressing the button will toggle the turret on / off. Meanwhile, this would be impossible if you used a standard switch since the switch consumes one power between the battery and turret and thus the turret will never receive enough power.
On a more basic level, you can simply connect a button or pressure plate directly to a door controller and not even need a power source to open the door.
You know, the Rust electrical system is actually a good way to introduce yourself to programming. Not "exactly" but the fact you need to work out logic via connections mimics how computer logic works.
Once, me and my duo made a entire floor of loot rooms (4 loot rooms and had way to many garage doors in that (paranoia). So I made door controllers and a switch. With a simple flick, all doors were open. Later on we started getting online and in my panic, we hid the switch under a bear rug's head. They didn't notice it and wasted another 12-15 rockets blowing in each loot room.
@@JfarrYT Nah but srsly, whenever I need a tutorial for anything rust related, whether it be monuments or electricity, your vids are always the best for it
Imagine you're the only one online on a server and all of a sudden you hear a random door opening and closing. Untill this day I'd think it was a ghost but didn't think it was possible to have a random door opener system to make it seem someone is online really like that one.
