Pumpkin Seed stats, mechanics, and overview in Rust
In Rust, Pumpkin Seed is a seed and plant in the Food category (item ID #-1511285251, console shortname seed.pumpkin). 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.
Pumpkin Seeds can be found when picking wild Pumpkin 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 pumpkins and faster growth.
