Recycling
| Recycler | Returns | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Recycler50% back | 250 Wood, 125 Metal Fragments, 0 to 1 Gears | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 200 Wood, 100 Metal Fragments, 0 to 1 Gears | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 375 Wood, 187 to 188 Metal Fragments, 0 to 1 Gears | 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, 10 unlocks in, reachable after High External Wooden Gate.
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.

Scrap
Siege Tower has 1000 health and ignores 40% of explosion damage.
15 x 12 Gauge Incendiary Shell for 300 sulfur. No mix of tools beats it.
Cheapest explosive on its own: 4 x High Velocity Rocket for 800 sulfur, about 14s. That is what most raids actually run, because sulfur is not the only cost.

A siege tower has no soft side, so these are its only numbers. Times are exact for melee and for anything fired: swings times swing delay, or shots times fire rate plus the reloads that forces. For a charge you place by hand it is one second per charge plus the fuse, and that one second is the only estimate here. Melee tool counts assume fresh tools, because repairing lowers a tool's maximum condition each time and that rate is not in the files we read. Vanilla server settings, contact range, no distance falloff.
The chance that a freshly spawned container, or a killed NPC, gives you at least one Siege Tower. Best chance first.
