How to get it
- Crafted
- Found in loot
- Bought from a vendor for 40 Scrap, or 150 Scrap, or 150 Scrap
- Worn by NPCs v4_Player_update
Repair
At a repair bench, fully worn: 20 Wood, 15 Metal Fragments. A half worn one costs half as much.
- Condition lost per repair
- 20% of maximum
- 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 | 50 Wood, 37 to 38 Metal Fragments | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 40 Wood, 30 Metal Fragments | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 75 Wood, 56 to 57 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 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.
