How to get it

  • Crafted
  • Found in loot
  • Worn by NPCs Shields

Repair

At a repair bench, fully worn: 40 Wood, 2 Cloth, 1 High Quality Metal. A half worn one costs half as much.

Condition lost per repair

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

Powered recycler75% back0 to 1 Road Signs, 7 to 8 Cloth, 150 Wood4s

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, 5 unlocks in, reachable after Salvaged Sword.

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.
