Diesel Fuel

The Excavator requires Diesel Fuel which can be Purchased from the Outpost Vending machines.
300 LGF (low grade fuel) can be traded for 1 Diesel Barrel.

The Diesel Barrels can currently be looted at the following locations:

• Oil Rig
• Junkyard
• Sphere Tank (Dome)
• Water Treatment Plant
• Power Plant
• Military Tunnels
• Airfield
Fueling the Excavator
The Excavator can hold one stack (x20) Diesel at a time and it's placed in the large tank pictured here.

This Room is located in the center area of the Excavator.
Starting the Main Motor

When there's Fuel in the Tank to the right of the generator, It will allow you to start the engine here.
Material Selection / Excavator Control Room

There is 2 of these rooms located on either side of the oscillating buckets.
Here you can select the material to gather and start the Excavator.
Selecting Material to Gather


Hold "E" to select material.
Material Output location


Looting the harvested materials:
You'll need to collect the loot at both ends of the Conveyor belts, The loot is split evenly to the left and right.
Pager Frequency


You can set the frequency of a Pager to "4777" and you will receive an Alert when the Excavator is activated.

Any idea where the diesel spawn at junkyard is? The one on dome was an easy find, but i scoured the junk yard and found nothing.
Also good write up!

@Jerma589 You can find diesel around the map at monuments, looks like a black barrel, you press e to pick it up. I wouldn't use lowgrade to purchase diesel, not at all worth it. And its quiet easy to fit a refinery in your base... Literally takes one triangle to fit it inside (Put 4 triangles together to make a bigger triangle, or a triangle with square foundations on all sides and remove the centre triangle) boom, you can fit a refinery in your base.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. But, LOL when am I ever going to have more LGF than I'll need? Maybe now that electricity and flashlights exist yeah, but who has a refinery in their base build except Zergs? When is a normie solo/duo ever going to come up with enough LGF for it to be a profit? When am I going to smack enough barrels for enough crude oil for it to make a difference? I'm probably supposed to also use the monument refineries for that like the one in safe zone.

Rust devs don't know the hoops you gotta go through to make little profit. Pretty lame addition if you ask me.
