Recycling

Recycler	Returns	Time
Recycler50% back	1 to 2 Metal Fragments, 2 to 3 Gun Powder, 5 Sulfur	5s
Barrel recycler40% back	1 Metal Fragments, 2 Gun Powder, 4 Sulfur	8s
Powered recycler75% back	1 to 2 Metal Fragments, 3 to 4 Gun Powder, 7 to 8 Sulfur	4s

A range means the last unit is a coin flip rather than a guarantee: half the recipe rarely divides evenly, and the recycler rolls for the remainder.

Tech tree

On the workbench 2 tree, 7 unlocks in, reachable after 12 Gauge Slug.

No scrap price on the tree itself: every node ships with its cost overridden to -1 and the fallback is not recoverable from the files. The research table price above is a different number and that one is derivable.
