How to get it
- Crafted
Repair
At a repair bench, fully worn: 100 Wood, 50 Metal Fragments. A half worn one costs half as much.
- Condition lost per repair
- None, it repairs to full forever
- 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
| Recycler | Returns | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Recycler50% back | 250 Wood, 1 Gears, 0 to 1 Sheet Metal | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 200 Wood, 0 to 1 Gears, 0 to 1 Sheet Metal | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 375 Wood, 1 to 2 Gears, 0 to 1 Sheet Metal | 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.
