Repair

At a repair bench, fully worn: 40 Metal Fragments. 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	100 Metal Fragments	5s
Barrel recycler40% back	80 Metal Fragments	8s
Powered recycler75% back	150 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.

Cheapest way in

28 x Handmade Shell for 140 sulfur. No mix of tools beats it.

Cheapest explosive on its own: 9 x F1 Grenade for 540 sulfur, about 12s. That is what most raids actually run, because sulfur is not the only cost.

A frankenstein table 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.
