Wooden Arrow 10In Rust, Stones is a resource in the Resources category (item ID #-2099697608, console shortname stones). In active play, they follow standard server rules for resource gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 1,000 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
Harvested from rocks using tools, basic building material.
In Rust, Stones have 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 20 downstream crafting recipes use it. Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When comparing Stones 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.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |

| Stones | Resources | 1,000 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
