Workbench Level 1, 15s, yields 1

Researching the blueprint costs 30 scrap at a Research Table.

WoodA 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 Biofuel Generator gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 187 + 50% Metal Fragments, 112 + 50% Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 150 Metal Fragments, 90 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 125 Metal Fragments, 75 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 100 Metal Fragments, 60 Wood |
The Biofuel Generator breaks down into Metal Fragments 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, Biofuel Generator is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #-1661343913, console shortname generator.biofuel). In active play, it follows standard server rules for deployable gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 20 minutes.
A large pot that can convert organic matter into fuel.
Crafting Biofuel Generator in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 once the 30 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 Biofuel Generator and related deployables in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 105-scrap tech tree path and save 75 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biofuel Generator | Deployables | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 105 path | Not recyclable |
| Anchor | Deployables | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 165 path | Not recyclable |
| Chippy Arcade Game | Deployables | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Bath Tub Planter | Deployables | 10 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |

The Biofuel Generator has 500 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -1661343913 across 168 deployables, while F1 console command inventory.giveid -1661343913 1 spawns 1 unit for testing across 168 published Deployables entries (158 with crafting blueprints).
The Biofuel Generator is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 250 Metal Fragments and 150 Wood, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Players smelt raw ores in a furnace and gather required components from monument crates before queuing the craft at their workbench.
The Biofuel Generator recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 125 Metal Fragments and 75 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 Biofuel Generator takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -1661343913 across 168 deployables, stacking to 1 unit per slot, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -1661343913 1.
A repair bench fixes the Biofuel Generator from broken for 50 Metal Fragments and 30 Wood, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in ten swings for 124 Metal Fragments and 76 Wood in Rust.
Blueprint progression for Biofuel Generator at Workbench Level 1 in Rust charges 30 scrap on the target node and 105 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 30 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Biofuel Generator despawns after 20 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 Biofuel Generator has 32-bit signed item ID -1661343913 and shortname generator.biofuel in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Deployables category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Biofuel Generator in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give generator.biofuel 1 or inventory.giveid -1661343913 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.
