Corn Seed
Seed and plant,Deployable
The Corn Seed comes from picking wild Corn on the map.
In Rust, Corn Seed is a seed and plant in the Food category (item ID #998894949, console shortname seed.corn). In active play, it follows standard server rules for seed and plant gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 50 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
Corn seeds can be found when picking wild Corn plants. These seeds can be planted in the ground and grown to collect additional food. Planting these seeds in a planter, and then watering them with large quantities of water yields significantly more corn and faster growth.
