Cactus Flesh

Cactus Flesh is a resource in the game Rust that players can obtain by harvesting from cacti using tools like an axe or even a simple rock. While it doesn't offer much in terms of hunger satiation, it's an excellent source of hydration, which is especially crucial for survival in arid desert biomes. Consuming cactus flesh helps players maintain their water levels, keeping them hydrated and in the game longer.

This in-game item is particularly useful when water sources are scarce, and players need to avoid dehydration. Due to the harsh environment of the desert, having a steady supply of cactus flesh can be the difference between life and death. For those base-building in dry regions, cultivating a supply of cactus flesh can provide a sustainable method to obtain water.

It's important to note that while cactus flesh is an emergency food source, relying solely on it isn't recommended due to its low nutritional value. Players should combine it with other food items to ensure they keep their health and calories up. Efficient harvesting of cactus flesh is best achieved with sharper tools; using a higher tier axe will yield more flesh per cactus, making it a more effective strategy for gathering this resource.
