Rug

The Rust Rug is an item that players can discover scattered across the diverse landscapes of Rust. This particular rug is commonly located within the contents of barrels, which are found throughout Rust's expansive island. Its main utility is to provide a boost to the player’s comfort level when standing in close proximity to it.

Comfort, in the world of Rust, is an important status effect that signifies the player is in a restful environment, leading to a series of benefits. These perks include an accelerated rate of health regeneration, allowing players to recover from injuries more swiftly. Moreover, when influenced by the comfort of the rug, players will notice that their hunger levels decrease more rapidly, a factor to consider when planning resource management.

Additionally, owning a rug can be advantageous in areas plagued by radiation, as the comfort provided by the rug helps to diminish the effects of radiation poisoning. However, it's important to note that the degree of comfort and its subsequent benefits are influenced by the specific comfort item, in this case, the rug, and the number of players clustered nearby.

For optimal use, place the rug indoors, in your base or shelter, to ensure a consistent comfort level while you manage other tasks or recover between adventures. Remember that the benefits of the rug stack with other comfort items, so strategically placing several comfort items together can produce a higher overall comfort level, leading to quicker health restoration and creating a welcoming spot for your teammates as well.
