Animal Fat

Animal Fat in Rust is a crucial resource obtained from wildlife and player corpses. It serves primarily as an energy-rich fuel, vital for crafting low-grade fuel—an essential component for various items like furnaces, flame throwers, and lamps. Whether you're hunting bears or taking down other players, animal fat is a must-have for survival and progression within the game.

After harvesting an animal or player, you can collect animal fat along with other useful materials like cloth and meat. The amount of fat you gather varies depending on the type of animal; typically, larger animals like bears and horses provide more fat compared to smaller creatures like chickens. It's worth noting that using tools like the bone knife or hatchet can increase the yield of animal fat from each source.

To convert animal fat into low-grade fuel, combine it with cloth at a crafting table or in your inventory. The conversion rate is important to remember; you'll need to strategize your resource collection to ensure you have enough fat and cloth to produce the low-grade fuel needed for your tools and base operations. Moreover, bear in mind that low-grade fuel is a target for other players due to its high value, so keep your stash secure!

Overall, securing a steady supply of animal fat is a fundamental aspect of thriving in the harsh environment of Rust. Always aim to have a surplus for those unexpected moments when you need to craft crucial items on the fly. Smart management of animal fat can mean the difference between thriving and simply surviving.
