The Potato Clone grows into a plant with 100 health once planted in the ground or a planter.
In Rust, Potato Clone is a seed and plant in the Food category (item ID #1512054436, console shortname clone.potato). 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.
A Clipping of a Potato Plant.
In Rust, Potato Clone has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on map collection, smelting, or vendor trades read from the Rust game files. Monument recyclers do not break this item down into raw components, while it serves its dedicated role inside the Food catalog. Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When comparing Potato Clone against related food in Rust, prioritize farming its highest-probability monument containers or recycling surplus components at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base yield, versus forty percent at safe-zone yellow units) because this item cannot be crafted at a player workbench.

The Potato Clone stacks to 50 per slot in Rust. Players can split a pile in half with middle-click drag or move a custom quantity with Shift-click drag across inventory slots, storage boxes, and the Tool Cupboard, while dropped copies despawn after 5 minutes under the Food category (item ID 1512054436).

The Potato Clone cannot be shredded inside a monument green recycler (50% base efficiency) or a safe-zone yellow recycler (40% base efficiency) in Rust. No published item recycles into it across the 198 Food entries either, and dropped copies despawn after 5 minutes (item ID 1512054436).
The Potato Clone has no durability bar in Rust and never loses condition in storage or on the belt, so condition never degrades during use. Grouped with 198 food entries under Food, it stacks to 50 per slot and despawns in 5 minutes.
The Potato Clone has 32-bit signed item ID 1512054436 and shortname clone.potato in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Food category (stack limit 50 units per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Potato Clone in the F1 developer console with inventory.give clone.potato 50 or inventory.giveid 1512054436 50 for 50 units. Both console spawn commands work only on dedicated or local worlds where your Steam account holds administrator or moderator privileges.
