How to get it
- Crafted
- Worn by NPCs Industrial
Repair
At a repair bench, fully worn: 100 Wood, 20 Metal Fragments. 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 | 250 Wood, 50 Metal Fragments | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 200 Wood, 40 Metal Fragments | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 375 Wood, 75 Metal Fragments | 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.

Metal Fragments
Workbench Level 1 has 500 health.
28 x Handmade Shell for 140 sulfur. No mix of tools beats it.
Cheapest explosive on its own: 7 x F1 Grenade for 420 sulfur, about 10s. That is what most raids actually run, because sulfur is not the only cost.

A workbench level 1 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.
