Recycling
| Recycler | Returns | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Recycler50% back | 25 High Quality Metal, 2 Rifle Body, 3 Metal Spring, 6 Metal Pipe | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 20 High Quality Metal, 1 to 2 Rifle Body, 2 to 3 Metal Spring, 4 to 5 Metal Pipe | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 37 to 38 High Quality Metal, 3 Rifle Body, 4 to 5 Metal Spring, 9 Metal Pipe | 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.
