Workbench Level 1, 5s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 2.5s at Workbench Level 2, 1.25s at Workbench Level 3.
Researching the blueprint costs 15 scrap at a Research Table.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Low Quality Crankshaft, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
 Vehicle Parts Crate | 28.4% | 1 to 2 | 25 to 75% |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any. Condition is the state the item comes out in.
A repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn.
What the Low Quality Crankshaft gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 18 + 75% Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 15 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 12 + 50% Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 10 Metal Fragments |
The Low Quality Crankshaft breaks down into Metal Fragments.
A recycler takes them one at a time, so a full stack of 5 goes through in 5 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “18 + 75%” means 18 every time and a 75% chance of one more.
In Rust, Low Quality Crankshaft is a car and horse part in the Components category (item ID #1158340334, console shortname crankshaft1). In active play, it follows standard server rules for car and horse part gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 5 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
A low quality crankshaft for a combustion engine. Converts piston movement into rotational motion.
Crafting Low Quality Crankshaft in Rust takes 5 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 once the 15 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.
Most car and horse parts stack to 1; the Low Quality Crankshaft stacks to 5.
When choosing between Low Quality Crankshaft and related components in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (15 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 255-scrap tech tree path and save 240 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low Quality Crankshaft | Components | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 255 path | Not recyclable |
| Medium Quality Crankshaft | Components | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 15 node / 270 path | Not recyclable |
| High Quality Crankshaft | Components | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 3 | 15 node / 285 path | Not recyclable |
| Low Quality Pistons | Components | 10 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 255 path | Not recyclable |

The Low Quality Crankshaft is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 25 Metal Fragments, once the blueprint is learned 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 Low Quality Crankshaft drops from 1 container and NPC loot table in Rust, led by Vehicle Parts Crate (28.4% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Low Quality Crankshaft recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 12 Metal Fragments plus a 50% chance of one more. Full recycler yields apply to an undamaged copy, while partially worn gear returns proportionally fewer materials based on its remaining durability bar.
The Low Quality Crankshaft takes 5 seconds to craft, down to 1.25 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Components category under numeric ID 1158340334 across 63 components, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 1158340334 5 across 63 published Components entries.
Blueprint progression for Low Quality Crankshaft at Engineering Workbench in Rust charges 15 scrap on the target node and 255 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 15 scrap.
The Low Quality Crankshaft has 32-bit signed item ID 1158340334 and shortname crankshaft1 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 5 units per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Low Quality Crankshaft in the F1 developer console with inventory.give crankshaft1 5 or inventory.giveid 1158340334 5 for 5 units. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
