Armored Door
Door and hatch,Very rare,Deployable,Blueprint
The Armored Door holds 1,000 health, four times a Sheet Metal Door, and takes 180 scrap to reach on the Workbench Level 3 tech tree.
What it takes to destroy the Armored Door with one siege weapon alone, each paid in what its own recipe asks: metal and fuel for the ram, sulfur and the rest for a propane bomb.
A battering ram head is worn out after 9 hits, and one hammer swing on it costs 16 High Quality Metal and gives it 3 more. The ram strikes once every 4.5 seconds with its engine running, which burns at least 0.1 Low Grade Fuel a second.
Every count starts from full health, with the Timed Explosive Charge and the Satchel Charge stuck on the Armored Door and Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo fired from an Assault Rifle.
A Satchel Charge fails to go off 20% of the time and a Beancan Grenade 15%, so carry spares.
What the Armored Door is looted from
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Armored Door, most likely first
Each swing charges the share of the cost for 50 health, rounded up to whole resources, and restores as much health as it paid for, which can be more than 50. Nothing can be repaired for 30 seconds after it takes damage.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “3 + 75%” means 3 every time and a 75% chance of one more.

Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Placed structures heal with a Hammer using raw materials from your inventory.
How Armored Door compares to related construction in Rust
