Workbench Level 2, 25s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 12.5s at Workbench Level 3.
Researching the blueprint costs 60 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 Engine Vehicle Module gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 2 + 25% High Quality Metal, 75 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 1 + 80% High Quality Metal, 60 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 1 + 50% High Quality Metal, 50 Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 1 + 20% High Quality Metal, 40 Metal Fragments |
The Engine Vehicle Module breaks down into High Quality Metal and Metal Fragments.
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. “2 + 25%” means 2 every time and a 25% chance of one more.
In Rust, Engine Vehicle Module is a car and horse part in the Components category (item ID #1559779253, console shortname vehicle.1mod.engine). In active play, it follows standard server rules for car and horse part gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 40 minutes.
Single module large engine.
Crafting Engine Vehicle Module in Rust takes 25 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 once the 60 scrap blueprint node is unlocked, 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 choosing between Engine Vehicle Module and related components in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (60 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 240-scrap tech tree path and save 180 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Engine Vehicle Module | Components | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 240 path | Not recyclable |
| Fuel Tank Vehicle Module | Components | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 360 path | Not recyclable |
| Cockpit With Engine Vehicle Module | Components | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 300 path | Not recyclable |
| Taxi Vehicle Module | Components | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 360 path | Not recyclable |

The Engine Vehicle Module is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 100 Metal Fragments and 3 High Quality Metal, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Smelting raw ores and looting required components from monument crates lets players queue the craft at their workbench.
The Engine Vehicle Module recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 1 High Quality Metal plus a 50% chance of one more and 50 Metal Fragments. Undamaged copies return the full listed yield, whereas worn items scale their recycler output down in proportion to remaining durability.
The Engine Vehicle Module takes 25 seconds to craft, down to 12.5 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It is indexed under the Components category alongside 62 other components in Rust (item ID 1559779253) across 63 published Components entries (35 with crafting blueprints).
Blueprint progression for Engine Vehicle Module at Engineering Workbench in Rust charges 60 scrap on the target node and 240 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 60 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Engine Vehicle Module 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 Engine Vehicle Module has 32-bit signed item ID 1559779253 and shortname vehicle.1mod.engine in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Components category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Engine Vehicle Module in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give vehicle.1mod.engine 1 or inventory.giveid 1559779253 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.
