| Round | Damage a shot | Damage a second |

| Fire Arrow | 60 | 60 |
| Wooden Arrow | 50 | 50 |
| High Velocity Arrow | 40 | 40 |
| Bone Arrow | 40 | 40 |
Body damage at point blank with no attachments, on vanilla settings. Damage a second assumes the trigger held and ignores reloads.
Repair
At a repair bench, fully worn: 40 Wood, 35 Metal Fragments, 6 Cloth. 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 | 100 Wood, 75 Metal Fragments, 0 to 1 Rope, 0 to 1 Gears | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 80 Wood, 60 Metal Fragments, 0 to 1 Rope, 0 to 1 Gears | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 150 Wood, 112 to 113 Metal Fragments, 0 to 1 Rope, 0 to 1 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 1 tree, 7 unlocks in, reachable after Compound Bow.
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.

The chance that a freshly spawned container, or a killed NPC, gives you at least one Mini Crossbow. Best chance first. Some containers hand it over already damaged, and which container it came from is what decides that.
