No workbench, 15s, yields 1

Every player starts with this blueprint. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table.
These do not land on one part of the body: the game adds up every piece you wear, then keeps a sixth of the total for explosions, bites and heat, and all of it for radiation. Cold is insulation, where 100% is as warm as clothing gets.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Candle Hat, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Mine Crate and Minecart | 15.4% | 1 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
What the Candle Hat gives back in each recycler

The Candle Hat breaks down into Cloth and Low Grade Fuel.
A recycler takes one at a time.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “11 + 25%” means 11 every time and a 25% chance of one more.

In Rust, Candle Hat is a clothing and armor in the Attire category (item ID #1714496074, console shortname hat.candle). In active play, it follows standard server rules for clothing and armor gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
A hat with a candle on top. You can turn the candle on in your inventory.
Crafting Candle Hat in Rust takes 15 seconds by hand without a workbench, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When comparing Candle Hat against related attire in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (15 seconds per craft) and recycle surplus spares at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base efficiency) rather than a safe-zone yellow recycler (forty percent efficiency) to maximize recovered materials.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |

| Santa Hat | Attire | 1 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Miners Hat | Attire | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 60 path | Not recyclable |

The Candle Hat is crafted by hand from 15 Cloth and 5 Low Grade Fuel in Rust. Raw ores smelt into metal inputs in a furnace while non-craftable components must be looted from monument crates before queuing the craft at your workbench.
The Candle Hat drops from 1 container and NPC loot table in Rust, led by Mine Crate and Minecart (15.4% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Candle Hat recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 7 Cloth plus a 50% chance of one more and 2 Low Grade Fuel plus a 50% chance of one more. It belongs to the Attire category under numeric ID 1714496074 across 133 attire.
The Candle Hat takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 2 or 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Attire category under numeric ID 1714496074 across 133 attire and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server.
Every player starts with the Candle Hat blueprint, so it never needs researching; a Research Table would still charge 10 scrap for it in Rust. It sits in the Attire catalog with item ID 1714496074 alongside 132 related attire across 133 published Attire entries.
Dropped with nothing attached or inside in Rust, the Candle Hat despawns after 5 minutes by default. Picking it back up into a player inventory or storing it inside a base container immediately resets that ground despawn timer, which the server scales by item rarity tier.
The Candle Hat has 32-bit signed item ID 1714496074 and shortname hat.candle in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Attire category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Candle Hat in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give hat.candle 1 or inventory.giveid 1714496074 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
