Workbench Level 1, 3s, yields 2
Faster at a higher workbench: 1.5s at Workbench Level 2, 0.75s at Workbench Level 3.
Researching the blueprint costs 30 scrap at a Research Table.
| Weapon | Damage | Headshot | Velocity | Damage per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Blow Pipe | 20 | ×1.5 | 55 m/s | 7 |
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.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Radiation Dart, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Jungle Crate | 42.1% | 5 to 33 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
What the Radiation Dart gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 1 + 88% Metal Fragments, 9 + 38% Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 1 + 50% Metal Fragments, 7 + 50% Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 1 + 25% Metal Fragments, 6 + 25% Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 1 Metal Fragments, 5 Wood |
The Radiation Dart breaks down into Metal Fragments and Wood.
A recycler takes 7 per cycle, so a full stack of 64 goes through in 10 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “1 + 88%” means 1 every time and a 88% chance of one more.
