Composter

The Composter in Rust is a crafting item used for turning various organic materials into fertilizer. Players can place compostable items such as food waste or plant fibers into the Composter. Over time, these items break down into a nutrient-rich fertilizer that can be used to boost the growth rate of crops in planters.

The use of a Composter is essential for players engaging in farming and seeking to maintain a reliable food source. The efficiency of the Composter ensures that nothing goes to waste, as leftover materials from meals or excess plant fibers collected during resource gathering can be recycled into something useful. It helps in sustainably managing resources within the game.

To optimize the Composter's use, players should regularly deposit organic waste and check back to collect the produced fertilizer. The process is passive, so players can go about other activities in the game while the Composter works. The resulting fertilizer can significantly enhance crop yields, making it a valuable item for both solo players and teams aiming to stockpile food supplies or trade with others.
