Low Grade Fuel

Low Grade Fuel is a crucial resource in Rust, primarily crafted from Animal Fat and Cloth. This item is essential for creating furnaces, which are vital for smelting metals and other crafting materials in the early game. It is also imperative for crafting Medical Syringes later on, which are key for health recovery during combat or environmental challenges.

To acquire Low Grade Fuel, players have multiple avenues: the most direct method is through crafting, which involves harvesting Animal Fat by hunting wildlife or, less effectively, from human players. Another avenue is by refining Crude Oil, using either large monument refineries or personal ones found in the game. Lastly, players can find Low Grade Fuel in select loot containers like oil barrels and, less frequently, within mine carts.

In addition to its primary uses, Low Grade Fuel powers various items such as lamps, torches, and some vehicles, expanding its importance throughout the game. A tip for newer players is to prioritize collecting Animal Fat and Cloth early on to secure a steady supply of this fuel for essential base operations and survival tools.
