Camp Fire

The Camp Fire in Rust is a fundamental survival item essential for player sustenance and safety. This item is primarily used to cook raw food such as meat from hunted animals, which is crucial for maintaining a player's health and hunger levels. Players can also use the Camp Fire to smelt small metal items like tin cans, providing metal fragments necessary for crafting various tools and weapons.

One of the Camp Fire's key functions is to keep players warm during the cold nights or in cold environments, protecting them from the elements and preventing hypothermia-related health issues. Additionally, the Camp Fire offers a sense of comfort by reducing the rate of comfort-related health decrease, making it an all-around beneficial item for players to have access to.

Apart from its survival benefits, the Camp Fire acts as a light source that can brighten up dark areas, offering visibility during night-time play or within dark buildings and caves. This feature not only aids navigation but can also deter wildlife and provide security from predators.

Tips for using the Camp Fire efficiently include placing it in a strategic location within your base to maximize the heat and light it provides. Always have a supply of wood to keep the fire burning, and be careful not to place it near flammable building materials to avoid accidental base fires. Moreover, when cooking food, pay close attention to prevent it from burning, as this will result in the loss of valuable nutrition and resources.
