Mortar

The Mortar fires in an arcing trajectory and favors volume over precision. Pairs well with binoculars.

How to get it

  • Crafted

Repair

At a repair bench, fully worn: 6 High Quality Metal. A half worn one costs half as much.

Condition lost per repair
None, it repairs to full forever
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

RecyclerReturnsTime
Recycler50% back10 High Quality Metal, 1 to 2 Metal Pipe5s
Barrel recycler40% back8 High Quality Metal, 1 to 2 Metal Pipe8s
Powered recycler75% back15 High Quality Metal, 2 to 3 Metal Pipe4s

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, 19 unlocks in, reachable after Propane Explosive Bomb.

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.
