A rotten apple. Eating it currently provides a tiny boost to health, hunger, and thirst.
In Rust, Rotten Apple 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 Rotten Apple 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.
