About TC Controller
TC Controller
A premium quality of life Rust plugin that gives players fast, safe, and clean Tool Cupboard management through an in-game UI
No more sprinting to every TC to manually top them up.
What it does
One command, instant TC control
Use /tc (configurable) to open a slick TC management panel that lists every Tool Cupboard you’re authorized on within a configurable radius.
Each TC entry shows the essentials at a glance:
- 
Distance to the cupboard
- 
Upkeep protection time with clear colour status (Green / Yellow / Red / Decaying)
- 
Authorized player count
- 
Storage usage (slots used / capacity)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fast upkeep deposits (no hassle)
Top up the selected TC directly from your inventory:
- 
Wood
- 
Stone
- 
Metal Fragments
- 
HQM
Includes easy deposit buttons:
- 
Configurable quick amounts (e.g. 100 / 1,000 / 5,000 / 10,000)
- Plus an ALL button for instant full transfer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Top Up multiple cupboards in one click
Got more than one tc? No problem.
Use Top Up to distribute upkeep across all nearby authorized TCs, with smart filters:
- 
Top up ALL
- 
Green only
- 
Yellow only
- 
Red only
Perfect for large compounds
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smart sorting + organization
Keep things tidy with built-in sorting options:
- Sort by Distance
- 
Sort by Nickname
- 
Sort by Protection status/time
Add custom TC nicknames (saved per-player) like:
- “Main”
- “Compound”
- “Farm”
- “External”
…and instantly find what you need.

Built-in protection against abuse (raid-friendly)
Optional Raid Block system
If a building is taking damage and the attacker is not authorized on its cupboards, the building is flagged as “being raided” for a configurable duration.
While raid-blocked, the UI prevents:
- 
Empty TC
- Repair Base
This helps stop “evacuate everything” or “instant repair” abuse mid raid.
Optional Exterior Entry Access Check (Anti “Through-Walls” Abuse)
To prevent “through-walls” style TC interaction, you can enable an extra rule:
A TC is only usable through the UI if the plugin can detect a legitimate exterior entry path to the building (anti-bunker / anti-sealed-base abuse).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extra convenience tools
Empty TC to inventory
Move as much as possible into your inventory (anything that can’t fit stays in the TC).
Repair Base (inventory-based)
Scan nearby building pieces and repair them using materials from the player’s inventory
Undo last deposit
Made a mistake? TC Controller supports a short undo window that can return deposited items back to you when possible.
