How to get it
- Crafted
- Steam store or DLC
- Worn by NPCs Summer DLC
Repair
At a repair bench, fully worn: 6 Cloth. A half worn one costs half as much.
- Condition lost per repair
- None, it repairs to full forever
- Blueprint needed
- No
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 | 15 Cloth | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 12 Cloth | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 22 to 23 Cloth | 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.

Cloth
Beach Towel has 200 health.
12 x Handmade Shell for 60 sulfur. No mix of tools beats it.
Cheapest explosive on its own: 4 x F1 Grenade for 240 sulfur, about 7s. That is what most raids actually run, because sulfur is not the only cost.

A beach towel has no soft side, so these are its only numbers. Times are exact for melee and for anything fired: swings times swing delay, or shots times fire rate plus the reloads that forces. For a charge you place by hand it is one second per charge plus the fuse, and that one second is the only estimate here. Melee tool counts assume fresh tools, because repairing lowers a tool's maximum condition each time and that rate is not in the files we read. Vanilla server settings, contact range, no distance falloff.
