Food Crate
Loot container
Food Crate drops 10 possible items in Rust across Large Oil Rig, Train Yard, Water Treatment Plant.
What the Food Crate drops
Chance is for one container opened or one body looted: the chance the item is inside. Amount is how many when it is there.
Counts are for a monument with every spawn point filled. A spawner that holds one kind of crate gives an exact number; a mixed one picks a crate each time it spawns, so the count is an average and the last column gives its ceiling.
Across procedural Rust server maps, Food Crate is a world loot prefab featuring 6 inventory slots (150 breakable durability) that draws from 10 possible item entries across 10 monument and world spawner groups. Every drop row in the reference table above is compiled directly from the game's internal loot trees at build time to reflect vanilla survival rates.
Food Crate drop odds, scrap yields and monument spawners
In addition to per-item drop probabilities, stack size bounds, and spawn durability ranges, the Food Crate sheet tracks expected container populations across every monument layout on the island. Solo players and clans can compare guaranteed Scrap and component returns per container open and plan monument routes around yellow, green, or red recyclers across the wipe.
Prefab identity summary: Health: 150 | Inventory slots: 6 | Scrap, every time: None | Items it can drop: 10 | Places: 10 across procedural server maps.
Cumulative sub-table odds: Published drop percentages combine all nested loot sub-tables into a single per-container probability for each item.
Condition and stack bounds: Equipment that can spawn damaged displays its minimum and maximum condition bar alongside item stack ranges.
Monument spawner capacity: Expected container counts represent a fully populated monument layout before players clear the compound.
Dynamic respawn scaling: Compound replenishment clocks shorten automatically on high-population realms as player count rises.
