No workbench, 30s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 15s at Workbench Level 1, 7.5s at Workbench Level 2 or 3.
Every player starts with this blueprint. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table.
What it takes to destroy the Tool Cupboard with one explosive alone, cheapest first.
| Explosive | Needed | Sulfur |
|---|---|---|
Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo | 9 | 225 |
High Velocity Rocket | 2 | 400 |
Satchel Charge | 1 | 480 |
Beancan Grenade | 4 | 480 |
Rocket | 1 | 1,400 |
Timed Explosive Charge | 1 | 2,200 |
F1 Grenade | 43 | 2,580 |
40mm HE Grenade | 2 | Loot only |
What it takes to destroy the Tool Cupboard 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.
| Siege weapon | Needed | Costs |
|---|---|---|
Battering Ram | 1 hit | at least 1 Low Grade Fuel |
Propane Explosive Bomb by catapult | 1 | 1,350 Charcoal, 900 Sulfur, 100 Metal Fragments, 15 Animal Fat, 10 Scrap, 5 Cloth |
|
Propane Explosive Bomb placed by hand | 1 | 1,350 Charcoal, 900 Sulfur, 100 Metal Fragments, 15 Animal Fat, 10 Scrap, 5 Cloth |
Incendiary Bolt by ballista | 15 | 750 Metal Fragments, 188 Cloth, 113 Animal Fat |
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 Tool Cupboard 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.
A repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn.
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.
What the Tool Cupboard gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 750 Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 600 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 500 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 400 Wood |
The Tool Cupboard breaks down into 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.
This list holds a skin you get outside the game, marked “Outside”. It changes the look and nothing else, and no skin for this item is sold between players, so it has no price.
In Rust, Tool Cupboard is a deployable in the Construction category (item ID #-97956382, console shortname cupboard.tool). Once placed, the structure holds 100 HP and takes at least 225 sulfur to breach. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
Placing and authorising with the cupboard will make it so only you can build in a 50 meter radius of it. If you want your friends to build, they'll need to auth too. You should protect this.
Crafting Tool Cupboard in Rust takes 30 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.
The Tool Cupboard is one of the 181 deployables; Rust classifies it under the Construction inventory category.
When comparing Tool Cupboard against related construction in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (30 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 |

| Tool Cupboard | Construction | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Animal Fence | Construction | 10 per slot | Crafted by hand | 15 node / 45 path | Not recyclable |
| Furnace | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Heart Balloon | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |

A repair bench fixes the Tool Cupboard from broken for 200 Wood, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in two swings for 500 Wood in Rust. Bench repairs require no blueprint and reduce maximum condition by 20% across a full durability bar.
Every player starts with the Tool Cupboard blueprint, so it never needs researching; a Research Table would still charge 10 scrap for it in Rust. It belongs to the Construction category under numeric ID -97956382 across 61 construction, stacking to 1 unit per slot.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Tool Cupboard 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 Tool Cupboard has 32-bit signed item ID -97956382 and shortname cupboard.tool in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Construction category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Tool Cupboard in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give cupboard.tool 1 or inventory.giveid -97956382 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.
