You\u2019ll need it for basic items at the start, mostly for crafting clothing and weapons. It also becomes necessary later in the game when you advance further with your construction skill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, you won\u2019t get very far if you don\u2019t learn <\/span><b>how to get cloth in Rust.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Get Cloth in Rust<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are five methods at your disposal. We\u2019ll look at each of these and how much cloth it can yield.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Method 1: Hemp Plants<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No matter which biome you find yourself in, hemp plants are always available. Sure, their spawn rates differ, but at least you\u2019re assured of their existence. They\u2019re like the default fiber factory for cloth. Forest and grass areas hold the most hemp plants, while beaches aren\u2019t shy, either. Each one produces about two to ten cloth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-163438\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/rust-hemp-growing-in-grasslands-768x455_jq9drd.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"455\"><\/p>\n<h3><b>Method 2: Cacti<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hemp grows in smaller quantities in desert biomes, but you have the luxury of cacti. They are fantastic for starting off with and deliver between 10 and 15 cloth, depending on the size. The problem is that you need advanced tools to make the most out of them, so it will be slow harvesting with a bone club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-163439\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/rust-cactus-harvest-for-cloth-768x559_rhcbtk.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/rust-cactus-harvest-for-cloth-768x559_rhcbtk.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/rust-cactus-harvest-for-cloth-768x559_rhcbtk-300x218.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Method 3: Animals<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All animals, even fellow humans, will provide you with cloth when you skin them. While you can try several tools, the bone knife is your best choice in the beginning since it yields the most material. How much you\u2019ll receive depends on the animal, but it ranges between 6 and 50.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-163440\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/rust-harvest-cloth-with-bone-knife-768x458_gcrjiq.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"458\"><\/p>\n<h3><b>Method 4: Recycling<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you have the right weapons and armor, you can head into the streets and find resources. Broken clothes and items are still useful, as you can recycle them for cloth. There are too many variables to list how many you will receive, but you\u2019ll need a monument recycler to get the job done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-163441\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/rust-recycle-items-for-cloth-768x597_jq6sl6.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"597\"><\/p>\n<h3><b>Method 5: Farming<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you reach the advanced stages, you\u2019ll unlock planter boxes. You can grow your own hemp farms in these or indoors, creating a vast cloth empire if you wish. It takes time and patience but is extremely rewarding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-163442\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/7n660esv3tx41_o8wc1h.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\"><\/p>\n<h3><b>Clothe yourself in the wastelands<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now that you know how to get cloth in Rust, you don\u2019t need to run around naked anymore.
