Recycling

Recycler	Returns	Time
Recycler50% back	1 High Quality Metal, 10 Scrap, 5 Scrap	5s
Barrel recycler40% back	0 to 1 High Quality Metal, 8 Scrap, 5 Scrap	8s
Powered recycler75% back	1 to 2 High Quality Metal, 15 Scrap, 5 Scrap	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, 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.
