Rust crafting update overhauls farming

The crafting update in Rust has overhauled farming, providing players with a range of new opportunities in the game.

Triangle planters

Rust now features triangle planters. Previously, with only square planters available, players had to dedicate separate floors and required bases with massive footprints to incorporate farming. Now, even solos and smaller groups can use these triangle planters to grow their own food.

Wheat and flowers

Wheat has been introduced as a new crop in Rust. Players can collect seeds and sow them in their planters to grow their wheat. Wheat can be harvested and used to cook bread in the game.

Flowers are a new cosmetic addition to Rust. Unlike other food crops, they cannot be used for any stat buffs. However, you can collect them from the wild and plant them in terracotta pots to decorate your base.
