Auto Turret

This automated electric sentry turret will engage and neutralize any moving targets it has line of sight to. You must equip it with a projectile weapon and the corresponding ammunition. Note : The turret will search for targets in a 180 degree arc facing *you* when you place it. Requires 10 power.

How to get it

Crafted
Found in loot
Bought from a vendor for 400 Scrap

Repair

At a repair bench, fully worn: 9 High Quality Metal. A half worn one costs half as much.

Condition lost per repair: None, it repairs to full forever
Blueprint needed: Yes

Rust stores no repair cost. The bench builds one from the crafting recipe: components are swapped for the first ingredient of their own recipe, then everything is charged at 20% and rounded up.

Recycling

Recycler	Returns	Time
Recycler50% back	0 to 1 Targeting Computer, 0 to 1 CCTV Camera, 12 to 13 High Quality Metal	5s
Barrel recycler40% back	0 to 1 Targeting Computer, 0 to 1 CCTV Camera, 10 High Quality Metal	8s
Powered recycler75% back	0 to 1 Targeting Computer, 0 to 1 CCTV Camera, 18 to 19 High Quality Metal	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, available from the start of it.

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.
