Driftwood

Tree

A Driftwood holds 400 wood. The game has 8 models of it.

How much a Driftwood gives, by tool, tea and pie

A wood tea adds a share of what every swing gives, finish bonus included: Basic Wood Tea +50% for 30 minutes, Advanced Wood Tea +100% for 30 minutes, Pure Wood Tea +200% for 30 minutes, Creamy Pure Wood Tea +260% for 24 minutes. Only one tea of a kind works at a time, and a Bear Pie multiplies the active tea bonus.

Simulated hit by hit as the game does it, rounding included. Time runs from the first hit to the last. A tea leaves a fraction over after the last hit that carries to the next node, so a player on a run can get one more.

How Driftwood works in Rust

Across procedural Rust server maps, Driftwood spawns as a harvestable world node with 250 hitpoints across 8 distinct 3D prefab variants, holding up to 400 Wood before tea multipliers when gathered with a top-tier tool. The strike-by-strike harvesting table above simulates every swing from first strike to final break so players can compare tool speeds and resource recovery across every tier.

Driftwood tool harvesting, tea multipliers and finishing bonus

Each row in the Driftwood harvesting matrix applies exact in-game per-strike rounding to benchmark hit counts, swing duration in seconds, unboosted base payout, and Basic, Advanced, and Pure Wood Tea modifiers combined with Bear Pie buffs across electric, metal, stone, and primitive gathering tools.

  • Node identity summary: Health: 250 | Inside: 400 Wood | Finish bonus: None | Models in the game: 8 across procedural terrain.
  • Optimal wood-felling tools: Fuel-powered chainsaws and metal axes recover 100% of the wood pool and finishing bonus in the fewest seconds.
  • Primitive tool penalty: Crude rocks, bone clubs, and stone tools carry lower gathering efficiency and lose a portion of the node capacity.
  • Wood Tea and pie buffs: Three tiers of Wood Tea stack with Bear Pie to multiply wood recovered per tree up to +275%.
  • Biome and terrain placement: Generates naturally across procedural biome and topology layers, respawning as players clear nodes in the region.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Driftwood yield in Rust and what is the best tool?

Clearing Driftwood (250 HP) in Rust with a Chainsaw yields 400 Wood across individual swings without a separate falling bonus, rising to 1,439 Wood under Creamy Pure Wood Tea (Pure Wood Tea plus Bear Pie) across procedural Rust maps.

Does Driftwood have a finishing bonus on the last hit in Rust?

Harvesting Driftwood (250 HP) pays out its entire 400 Wood yield across individual tool strikes from start to finish without displaying a red X marker or holding back a final falling bonus.

How does Wood Tea affect Driftwood yields in Rust?

Consuming a Basic, Advanced, or Pure Wood Tea boosts every tool strike and any finishing bonus on Driftwood, lifting the top Chainsaw payout from 400 Wood unboosted up to 1,439 Wood with Creamy Pure Wood Tea.

Does eating a Bear Pie boost Driftwood harvesting in Rust?

Eating a Bear Pie multiplies an active Wood Tea percentage buff when harvesting Driftwood, turning a Pure Wood Tea into Creamy Pure Wood Tea (1,439 Wood maximum payout) across all compatible gathering tools.

How fast do different tools break Driftwood in Rust?

The Driftwood (250 HP) table above benchmarks every tool option side by side, listing total strikes required, time to finish in seconds, and resource recovery from primitive rocks up to top-tier tools.

Why do some tools get less than 400 Wood from Driftwood in Rust?

Improvised starter tools such as the Rock, Bone Club, or Stone Pickaxe and Hatchet have lower gathering multipliers and forfeit part of the node or its final bonus, leaving Driftwood below 400 Wood.

Where does Driftwood spawn across Rust maps and biomes?

Driftwood populates procedural Rust maps according to biome filters (Arid, Temperate, Tundra, Arctic, or Jungle) and terrain topologies such as cliffs, forests, beaches, or monuments, respawning as nodes are cleared.
