Gene
Scanner
Take a screenshot of your plants in-game, upload it here, and AI will read the gene sequences and send them straight to the God Clone Planner.
What the Gene Scanner does
The Gene Scanner reads plant genetics directly from a Rust planter screenshot. Drop in an image of a 3×3 planter (or up to a full multi-planter farm) and the scanner returns each plant's 6-letter gene string in seconds. It is built for farmers who don't want to type 60+ letters by hand every wipe.
How it works
The scanner uses computer vision to identify the gene tile colour at each of the 6 positions on every plant in your screenshot, then cross-references that against Rust's known gene palette (G, Y, H, W, X). The output is a clean list of genomes you can paste straight into the Seed Grader or the God Clone Planner.
Tips for clean scans
- Stand directly in front of the plant. Angled screenshots distort the gene tiles and confuse the scanner.
- Use full brightness in-game. Dim or shadowed planters reduce colour accuracy.
- Scan one planter at a time for the cleanest results, but the tool can handle a wider shot if needed.
- Crop out chat and inventory if they overlap your plants — anything covering a gene tile reduces accuracy.
Why this saves hours per wipe
A typical wiped player ends up with 30-50 unknown seeds and 12-20 active clones over the course of a wipe. Manually typing each one's genes is error-prone (people read W as X all the time) and slow. The scanner reads them all in under 5 seconds and pipes them into your other tools, letting you focus on actually breeding instead of transcribing.
Privacy
Screenshots are sent to the scanner only for the duration of the scan. They are not stored, indexed or used for training.
