Rust: How to Recycle Items and Recycler Locations

 We show you the main locations where you can find a recycler in Rust and we tell you the characteristics of this machine to recycle components and obtain resources in return.


Sometimes we will have so many resources in Rust that we will want to go through a recycler to get rid of them and, at the same time, obtain other valuable components in exchange (thus we kill two birds with one stone, which in this game everything is taken advantage of). However, the recycling machine cannot be made like many other tools, so the title challenges us to find one. In this entry of our complete guide we show you the places on the map where you can find a recycler and how to use it.


How to recycle at Rust

In order to recycle objects and components that we have in our inventory, the essential requirement is to find a recycling machine , also known as the recycler. The problem is that we must emphasize the word "find", because this machine cannot be manufactured (as it happens with ovens or workbenches).

If we are lucky enough to come across a recycler or have gone in search of one, then recycling our objects is as easy as approaching the machine to interact with it. The following characteristics must be taken into account:

  • In the recycler, elements and components can be decomposed into their raw materials.
  • This means that if, for example, we recycle a gear, we will receive scrap metal and metal fragments in return (because they are the resources that the gear is made of).
  • Approximately the recycler delivers 50% of the resources used in the manufacture of the component (but for this to happen, the recycled items must not have a durability lower than 100% , otherwise they will produce less recycled quantities ).
  • The machine has 6 input and 6 output slots.
  • Only one player at a time can use the recycler.

Basically the recycler is a good way to obtain some raw materials that we need quickly , getting rid of other components that we do not need or that we have left over (as a general rule, players use them to obtain a lot of scrap, high quality metals , cloth or metal fragments).

As you can see, it can be very useful to have one on hand for certain times.
