Dung stacks 100 to a slot, where most resources stack 1,000.
In Rust, Dung is a resource in the Resources category (item ID #-1579932985, console shortname horsedung). In active play, it follows standard server rules for resource gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 100 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 1 hour.
Fresh and fertile.
In Rust, Dung 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 Resources catalog. Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When comparing Dung against related resources 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.
