No workbench, 15s, yields 1

Every player starts with this blueprint. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table.
A repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn.
What the Wooden Shield gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 15 Cloth, 187 + 50% Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 12 Cloth, 150 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 10 Cloth, 125 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 8 Cloth, 100 Wood |
The Wooden Shield breaks down into Cloth and Wood.
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. “187 + 50%” means 187 every time and a 50% chance of one more.
In Rust, Wooden Shield is a clothing and armor in the Attire category (item ID #1604837581, console shortname wooden.shield). 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 40 minutes.
A basic wooden shield, won't last very long. Usable with single handed weapons and tools.
Crafting Wooden Shield 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). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
When comparing Wooden Shield 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 |

| Reinforced Wooden Shield | Attire | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 60 node / 195 path | Not recyclable |
| Metal Shield | Attire | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 210 path | Not recyclable |
| Hide Skirt | Attire | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |

The Wooden Shield is crafted by hand from 250 Wood and 20 Cloth 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 Wooden Shield recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 10 Cloth and 125 Wood. Monument green recyclers shred items one unit at a time on fast radtown cycles, whereas safe-zone yellow units trade lower material recovery for peacekeeper protection.
The Wooden Shield 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 1604837581 across 133 attire and despawns after 40 minutes when dropped on a default server.
Every player starts with the Wooden Shield blueprint, so it never needs researching; a Research Table would still charge 10 scrap for it in Rust. It belongs to the Attire category under numeric ID 1604837581 across 133 attire, stacking to 1 unit per slot.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Wooden Shield despawns after 40 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 Wooden Shield has 32-bit signed item ID 1604837581 and shortname wooden.shield 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 Wooden Shield in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give wooden.shield 1 or inventory.giveid 1604837581 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.
