Potato

The Potato in Rust is a consumable item primarily used as a food source for players to restore health and reduce hunger within the game. Found through foraging or farming, potatoes can be consumed raw for immediate sustenance, providing a small boost to both health and hunger levels. When cooked, its nutritional value increases, making it a more effective means of sustenance.

Aside from its use as food, potatoes can also be utilized in Rust's farming system. Players can plant potato seeds, obtained either from the potato itself or looting, in planters or the ground. These seeds then grow into potato plants, yielding a crop over time that can be harvested for more potatoes. This makes the potato a renewable resource that can support long-term survival.

In terms of storage, potatoes are stackable items, allowing for efficient use of inventory space. This is particularly useful for players looking to stockpile food for later use or for those venturing out on extended expeditions. With its simple cultivation process and nutritional benefits, the potato is a vital item for sustaining life and health in the harsh environment of Rust.

As an additional tip for players, remember that cooking potatoes will not only provide more nutrition but also has a chance to yield seeds so you can continue your farming endeavors. Therefore, make sure to establish a furnace or campfire to maximize the benefits of this essential food item.
