1) Collecting Hemp in the wild

Hemp grows across most of the biomes in Rust. You can directly collect it from the ground to get 10 units of Cloth.

While hemp might be available across almost all biomes in the game, it's more plentiful in the forest biome. You'll have a much higher chance of finding this item in bunches near rivers and deep within the evergreen forests in-game.


2) Recycling items

Animals are a great source of Cloth. If you're in dire need of the resource, feel free to hunt anything that comes your way. However, if you want maximum profits, finding and hunting down grizzly bears and polar bears will net you the most Cloth.

It must be noted that the amount of Cloth that you harvest from an animal also depends on the tool you are using. To get the highest yield, you should use a Bone Knife or a Metal Hatchet. If you're still stuck using stone tools, the Stone Pickaxe would be better than the Stone Hatchet.

If you've collected Hemp in the wild, you would have also collected a ton of Hemp seeds. With these seeds, you can start your very own Cloth Farm in the game.

Simply get a planter, put a light on top, and ensure you keep the planter boxes watered. Now, plant the seeds and wait for them to bear fruit. You'll have a reliable source of Cloth for the entire duration of the wipe.
