What the Chinese Lantern gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 18 + 75% Cloth, 3 + 75% Low Grade Fuel |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 15 Cloth, 3 Low Grade Fuel |
| Green recycler | 50% | 12 + 50% Cloth, 2 + 50% Low Grade Fuel |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 10 Cloth, 2 Low Grade Fuel |
The Chinese Lantern breaks down into Cloth and Low Grade Fuel.
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. “18 + 75%” means 18 every time and a 75% chance of one more.
In Rust, Chinese Lantern is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #-1916473915, console shortname chineselantern). 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 5 minutes.

Crafting Chinese Lantern in Rust takes 15 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). Placed structures heal with a Hammer using raw materials from your inventory.
When comparing Chinese Lantern against related deployables in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (15 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 |

| Lantern | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Chinese Lantern White | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Vending Machine | Deployables | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |

The Chinese Lantern has 50 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -1916473915 across 168 deployables, while F1 console command inventory.giveid -1916473915 1 spawns 1 unit for testing across 168 published Deployables entries (158 with crafting blueprints).
The Chinese Lantern is crafted by hand from 25 Cloth and 5 Low Grade Fuel 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 Chinese Lantern recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 12 Cloth plus a 50% chance of one more and 2 Low Grade Fuel plus a 50% chance of one more. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -1916473915 across 168 deployables.
The Chinese Lantern takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 2 or 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -1916473915 across 168 deployables and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server.
The Chinese Lantern repairs in Rust once placed with a Hammer for up to 12 Cloth and 2 Low Grade Fuel at full wear (1 swings). Hammering a placed structure restores health with no maximum-durability loss after a 30-second combat cooldown.
Dropped with nothing attached or inside in Rust, the Chinese Lantern 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 Chinese Lantern has 32-bit signed item ID -1916473915 and shortname chineselantern 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 Chinese Lantern in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give chineselantern 1 or inventory.giveid -1916473915 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.
