A pile of wood.

Wood Piles could be found in certain areas all around the map in older versions of Rust, as well as the legacy one.

They were the most efficient method of collecting Wood; they had a higher yield rate per swing than trees, and usually contained more wood overall (approximately 80-120 Wood per pile). Gathering from wood piles also depleted the player's food slower than gathering from trees, therefore making it a better alternative.

Harvesting[]

Tool Wood Per Strike
Rock 7
Stone Hatchet 7
Hatchet 10
Pickaxe 20

Notes[]

  • Unlike Trees, wood piles would despawn once fully depleted. However, they would later respawn to allow gathering to continue.
  • On November 14, 2014, wood piles were officially removed from the Experimental version of Rust, but still remained in Legacy until that version was discontinued on December 08, 2016.
    • When explaining the decision to remove wood piles, Garry stated; "Haven’t we got enough sources of wood? I don’t think we need to explain this." [1]
