Point it at your plants. It reads the genes
Draw a box over the gene readout once, then scan: the letters land in the app, decoded and slotted, ready to save as a clone. Nobody types G-Y-Y-H-W-X into a website mid-farm.
- Scan straight from the screen
- RustPocket captures the region you marked, finds the gene circles and reads G, Y, H, W and X by glyph shape and colour, at any UI scale. A preview shows the exact crop it captured next to what it decoded, so a bad scan is obvious instead of silently wrong.
- From scan to clone in one click
- A clean scan offers itself as a clone entry: name it, save it, and it joins the library with the server it came from. Your main's G-heavy tomato line stays out of your solo server's list.
- Crossbreeds that converge
- Pick parents from the library and the planner predicts offspring slot by slot with the game's crossbreeding weights, flagging which pairing moves you toward more greens and which wastes a generation.
- Paste still works
- A teammate drops a gene string in chat? A collapsed manual field decodes typed or pasted strings the same way. The scanner is just the faster path.
About Farming genetics
Which genes does it recognise?
The five Rust has: G (growth), Y (yield), H (hardiness), W (water drain) and X (empty slot). Green glyphs help, red ones hurt, and the classifier checks both the colour and the letter shape before it commits.
What happens on a bad read?
If a slot is unclear the scan says so and you scan again - it never quietly guesses. The preview thumbnail shows exactly what the scanner saw, so you can tell a bad crop from a bad plant.
Does it work in fullscreen?
Windowed and borderless both work, and borderless is the Rust standard anyway. Exclusive fullscreen keeps other windows off screen, so the region box cannot sit over the game there.
It does not work alone
Farming genetics is one register. Every subscription carries all of them, and they are worth more wired together than apart.
