Recycling
| Recycler | Returns | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Recycler50% back | 25 Gun Powder, 1 to 2 Low Grade Fuel, 5 Sulfur, 5 Metal Fragments | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 20 Gun Powder, 1 to 2 Low Grade Fuel, 4 Sulfur, 4 Metal Fragments | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 37 to 38 Gun Powder, 2 to 3 Low Grade Fuel, 7 to 8 Sulfur, 7 to 8 Metal Fragments | 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 3 tree, 8 unlocks in, reachable after Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo.
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.
