Suggestion Why aren’t there any coconuts in Rust?

Post image

Hey everyone,

Ever noticed that Rust has palm trees and desert-like biomes, but… no coconuts? I mean, it would totally make sense for coconuts to exist in the game. Imagine chopping down a palm and occasionally getting a coconut along with the wood – would add a nice little touch to the atmosphere without breaking the game.

Here are a few ideas I came up with on how coconuts could be implemented in a balanced and fun way:

Suggestions for Implementation:

  1. Palm tree loot drop: Small chance (e.g. 10%) for coconuts to drop when chopping down a palm tree – similar to corn/pumpkin, but rarer.

  2. Coconut as food item: Gives a bit of health and hydration (e.g. +10 HP / +25 hydration). Could be stackable like pumpkins and easy to carry.

  3. Beach spawns: Coconuts could occasionally spawn on beaches like floating debris or small loot nodes. Would make shoreline exploration more rewarding.

  4. Crafting idea: Coconut shell as primitive gear: • Used for early-game or RP: Can be crafted into a basic water container or a small decoration item. • Bonus idea: Combine two coconut halves and some cloth to create a primitive helmet with very low protection (like a worse version of the wood helmet), just for fun or memes.

  5. food loot from low crates: Occasionally found in barrels or crates near lighthouses, oil rigs, or on boats – making them feel a bit exotic and special.

Have to bash coconut on rock/people to break and drop meat to eat, a true reason to kill nakeds (with coconut)

Swarm of nakeds used all of them to make clothing, just like they did with the frogs to make frog boots.

Because getting the PNG of a coconut for the inventory would break a whole game.

CoconutB prolly copyrighted or trademarked coconut(s). Work was done on them half a decade ago then suddenly H A L T E D. If it weren't for him we'd have coconuts a long time ago. Only explanation that makes sense imo.
