Rust Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Solo Survivors — Pegi Young's band was not called 'The Survivors'; this is an invented claim.

Grievers — The entry states that Gally is killed by a Griever while throwing a spear at Thomas, but in the book, Gally is killed by a Griever while trying to escape after throwing the spear, not while throwing it.

Weekly Wipe — The entry incorrectly implies that the weekly, biweekly, or monthly wipe schedules are part of a set monthly schedule enforced by Facepunch, when in fact servers set their own wipe frequency and Facepunch only enforces the monthly Force Wipe.

Cave Update — The entry claims 'Cave Update' is a major game expansion, but there was no single 'Cave Update' in Rust's history; caves were added incrementally across multiple updates.

Cave Update — The entry states 'Cave Bears & Spiders' as new threats, but the official creature name for the bear found in caves is 'Cave Bear', while spiders are not officially named 'Cave Spiders' as a distinct creature type.

Light Machine Gun — The entry states the M249 SAW was adopted in 1982, but correct adoption dates are 1984 for U.S. Army and 1985 for Marine Corps; February 1982 refers to selection/type classification, not full adoption.

Light Machine Gun — The lore section claims first combat use during the 1983 invasion of Grenada, but the M249 was not fielded then; first combat use is generally recognized as the 1989 invasion of Panama.
