Recycling

Recycler	Returns	Time
Recycler50% back	1 to 2 Metal Fragments, 0 to 1 Gun Powder	5s
Barrel recycler40% back	1 Metal Fragments, 0 to 1 Gun Powder	8s
Powered recycler75% back	1 to 2 Metal Fragments, 0 to 1 Gun Powder	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, 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.
