Apple
An Apple. Eating it provides a small boost to health, hunger, and thirst.
The Apple is food in Rust. One gives 30 calories, 15 hydration and 2 health at once. It cannot be crafted, and Apple Tree drops it most often, at 100%.
About the Apple
It is mixed into Apple Pie and Rich Apple Pie. Fed to a horse, it adds 9 km/h to the horse’s gallop for 60 seconds. As fishing bait it is worth 1 bait value. A Biofuel Generator turns one into 1 × Low Grade Fuel in 36 seconds. In a Composter, 5 of them make one Fertilizer. Chickens in a Chicken Coop eat it.
Only one vendor sells it: the Water Well Shop Keeper for 10 to 30 scrap. In all, 13 loot sources drop it; the full list of where it drops gives the chance for each.
