Planning tool
Rust Tea Calculator - Recipes & Harvest Planner
An interactive utility to plan your berry farm sizes and Mixing Table crafting steps in Rust.
Resource calculator
Tea Recipe & Harvest Calculator
Calculate how many berries you need and how many planter boxes to harvest for any batch of teas.
Calculation Results
Planter Box Cycles
Assuming a standard 4Y2G clone producing 36 berries/plant in a Large Planter Box (9 slots = 324 berries/cycle).
How to use the tea calculator
Choose the tea effect, select Basic, Advanced, or Pure, and enter the number of teas you want to craft. The calculator multiplies the base berry recipe by the selected tier and quantity.
The result is a planning total, not an inventory check. Confirm the recipe shown by the current game version before committing a large berry stockpile.
Harvest estimate
The harvest count uses a planning assumption of 324 berries per full Large Planter Box harvest: nine plants producing 36 berries each. Actual output can differ with genetics, plant health, environmental conditions, server settings, and game updates.
The estimate is rounded up to a whole harvest. It does not account for berries already in storage or for mixed genetics across several planters.
Source and limitations
Tea recipes and Mixing Table processes can change. The calculator is maintained against the Facepunch Rust Wiki Mixing Table reference, but rustgenetics.com is not affiliated with Facepunch Studios. If the in-game recipe differs, use the in-game value and report the mismatch to [email protected].
