Repair

At a repair bench, fully worn: 40 Wood, 20 Stones. A half worn one costs half as much.

Condition lost per repair: 20% of maximum
Blueprint needed: No

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

Recycler	Returns	Time
Recycler50% back	100 Wood, 50 Stones	5s
Barrel recycler40% back	80 Wood, 40 Stones	8s
Powered recycler75% back	150 Wood, 75 Stones	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.
