Wood pile

Tree

A Wood pile holds 800 wood, plus 200 more when it falls. The game has one model of it.

How much a Wood pile 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 Wood pile works in Rust

Across procedural Rust server maps, Wood pile spawns as a harvestable world node with 250 hitpoints, holding up to 1,000 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.

Wood pile tool harvesting, tea multipliers and finishing bonus

Each row in the Wood pile 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: 800 Wood | Finish bonus: 200 Wood | Models in the game: 1 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.

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

How does Wood Tea affect Wood pile yields in Rust?

Consuming a Basic, Advanced, or Pure Wood Tea boosts every tool strike and any finishing bonus on Wood pile, lifting the top Chainsaw payout from 1,000 Wood unboosted up to 3,599 Wood with Creamy Pure Wood Tea.

Does eating a Bear Pie boost Wood pile harvesting in Rust?

Eating a Bear Pie multiplies an active Wood Tea percentage buff when harvesting Wood pile, turning a Pure Wood Tea into Creamy Pure Wood Tea (3,599 Wood maximum payout) across all compatible gathering tools.

How fast do different tools break Wood pile in Rust?

The Wood pile (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 1,000 Wood from Wood pile 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 Wood pile below 1,000 Wood.

Where does Wood pile spawn across Rust maps and biomes?

Wood pile 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.
