Recycling
| Recycler | Returns | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Recycler50% back | 10 Explosives, 2 to 3 Cloth, 1 Tech Trash | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 8 Explosives, 2 Cloth, 0 to 1 Tech Trash | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 15 Explosives, 3 to 4 Cloth, 1 to 2 Tech Trash | 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 3 tree, 9 unlocks in, reachable after Explosives.
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.
