How Rust craft binds work
Rust lets players bind a key to console commands. For crafting, the command format is craft.add [item ID] [quantity] — the numeric item ID, not the shortname. To queue multiple items, separate each craft.add command with a semicolon and wrap the full command list in quotes after the bind key. Run writecfg afterwards to keep binds across restarts.
