|---|---|---|

Repair
At a repair bench, fully worn: 14 High Quality Metal, 10 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 | 30 High Quality Metal, 0 to 1 Rifle Body, 1 to 2 Metal Spring, 1 Gears | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 24 High Quality Metal, 0 to 1 Rifle Body, 1 to 2 Metal Spring, 0 to 1 Gears | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 45 High Quality Metal, 0 to 1 Rifle Body, 2 to 3 Metal Spring, 1 to 2 Gears | 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 Metal Facemask or Metal Chest Plate.
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.

Total raw materials
What you actually have to farm, with every sub-component broken down.
The chance that a freshly spawned container, or a killed NPC, gives you at least one HMLMG. Best chance first. Some containers hand it over already damaged, and which container it came from is what decides that.
| Source | Chance of at least one | Amount | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Locked CrateContainer | 5.56% | 1 | Full |
| Scientist PT Boat DryboxContainer | 2.84% | 1 | Full |
| Elite CrateContainer | 1.90% | 1 | 35 to 70 of 350 (10 to 20%) |
| Helicopter CrateContainer | 0.66% | 1 | Full |
