Cooking Workbench
The order is part of the recipe. The table checks slot 1 against the first ingredient, slot 2 against the second, and so on, and stops at the first empty slot: the same ingredients in another order make nothing.
Put more of the same in every slot to mix several batches in one go. Each extra batch adds 3s.
The table only starts this mix if you have learned the Incendiary Pistol Bullet blueprint.
| Weapon | Damage | Headshot | Velocity | Damage per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Custom SMG | 33.6 | ×2 | 180 m/s | 146 |
Handmade SMG | 22.4 | ×2 | 112.5 m/s | 63 |
M92 Pistol | 50.4 | ×2 | 225 m/s | 168 |
MP5A4 | 42 | ×2 | 202.5 m/s | 183 |
Prototype 17 | 44.8 | ×2 | 225 m/s | 168 |
Python Revolver | 61.6 | ×2 | 225 m/s | 82 |
Revolver | 39.2 | ×2 | 225 m/s | 68 |
Semi-Automatic Pistol | 44.8 | ×2 | 225 m/s | 105 |
Thompson | 42 | ×2 | 225 m/s | 130 |
Damage is one body hit up close, with no armour. A headshot multiplies it against players only. Damage per second empties one magazine and counts the reload. Velocity and spread are applied locally by your game client, while the server bounds their limits.

| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 2 Gun Powder, 2 Metal Fragments, 1 Sulfur |
| Green recycler | 50% | 1 + 67% Gun Powder, 1 + 67% Metal Fragments, 83% Sulfur |

A recycler takes 13 per cycle, so a full stack of 128 goes through in 10 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “2 + 50%” means 2 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
