How the Rust Food category works

Food is hunger and thirst, and everything you grow or catch to answer them: berries, meat cooked over a fire, fish, honey, and the seeds and clones behind a farm. The teas belong here too, brewed drinks that temporarily change how fast you heal, how much you gather, or how much radiation you can walk through.

The Rust Food category contains 198 published items in the crafting and inventory catalog, each indexed with static HTML tables compiled directly from the game files. Notable entries in the Food roster include Advanced Anti-Rad Tea, Advanced Cooling Tea, Advanced Crafting Quality Tea and Advanced Harvesting Tea. Across the Food roster, 18 entries carry a crafting blueprint, 18 can be studied at a Research Table, 18 break down at a monument Recycler, and 0 accept condition repair at a Repair Bench or with a Hammer.

Each card in the Food index opens a dedicated item sheet displaying its console shortname, signed integer ID, ground despawn timer, and complete crafting bill broken down to base resources. Research Table study fees across all 18 researchable Food blueprints sit at 10 Scrap.
