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

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.
