Recycling
| Recycler | Returns | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Recycler50% back | 5 Cloth, 25 Low Grade Fuel | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 4 Cloth, 20 Low Grade Fuel | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 7 to 8 Cloth, 37 to 38 Low Grade Fuel | 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 2 tree, 9 unlocks in, reachable after Semi-Automatic Pistol.
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.
