A Pneumatic Jackhammer to blast through ore nodes. The sheer power of this device requires no aiming as all weak spots will be instantly destroyed. Works well on human flesh. Can be refilled at a Workbench.

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.

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.
