Frequently Asked Questions
How do you make tea in Rust?
Teas are crafted at the Mixing Table. Combine berries for a Basic tea, then combine 4 Basic teas into an Advanced tea, and 4 Advanced teas into a Pure tea. Each tier increases the strength of the effect.
How many berries does a Pure tea cost?
A Pure tea is made from 4 Advanced teas, each Advanced tea is made from 4 Basic teas, and each Basic tea uses up to 4 berries. So a single Pure tea can cost up to 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 berries — which is why players crossbreed GGGYYY berry clones for volume.
What is the best tea for farming in Rust?
For resource farming, Ore Tea boosts ore node yield, Wood Tea boosts wood from trees, Scrap Tea increases scrap from barrels, and Harvesting Tea increases resources from animal corpses. Pure variants give the largest boost.
Where do berries for teas come from?
Berries are grown from seeds in planters. Crossbreed them to GGGYYY genetics for the fastest grow time and highest yield, then use the harvested berries to mix teas at the Mixing Table.
