Hemp Seed
Seed and plant,Deployable
The Hemp Seed comes from picking wild Hemp Fibers on the map.
In Rust, Hemp Seed is a seed and plant in the Food category (item ID #-237809779, console shortname seed.hemp). 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.
Hemp seeds can be found when picking wild Hemp. These seeds can be planted in the ground and grown to collect additional cloth. Planting these seeds in a planter, and then watering them with large quantities of water yields significantly more cloth and faster growth.
Monument recycling yield: Non-recyclable at green, yellow, or red units (0 downstream recipes)
Maintenance rule: Carries no condition wear bar and needs no bench maintenance
Conveyor & sorting profile: Filter by shortname seed.hemp in Industrial Conveyors for automated box sorting
