Type a few letters of a name: an item, a skin, a monument, a CCTV code, an animal or a tool. Player names work too, like AK, C4 or HQM.

No workbench, 15s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 1, 3.75s at Workbench Level 2 or 3.
Every player starts with this blueprint. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table.
A repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn. A component in the recipe is charged as the first ingredient of its own recipe instead, or not at all when it has no recipe.
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 Composter gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 1 + 50% Tarp, 150 Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 1 + 20% Tarp, 120 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 1 Tarp, 100 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 80% Tarp, 80 Wood |
The Composter breaks down into Tarp 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. “1 + 50%” means 1 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Composter is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #-1488398114, console shortname composter). 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.
Produces fertilizer from compostable items.
Crafting Composter 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). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
When comparing Composter 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Composter | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Small Water Catcher | Construction | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 135 path | Not recyclable |
| Small Planter Box | Deployables | 10 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Water Barrel | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 15 node / 150 path | Not recyclable |

The Composter has 500 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -1488398114 across 168 deployables, while server admins spawn it via inventory.giveid -1488398114 1 or queue crafts with craft.add 0 -1488398114 1 across 168 published Deployables entries.
The Composter is crafted by hand from 2 Tarp and 200 Wood in Rust. Non-craftable components like Tarp must be looted from monument crates or recycled gear before queuing the craft at your bench. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -1488398114 across 168 deployables.
The Composter recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 1 Tarp and 100 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 Composter 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 -1488398114 across 168 deployables, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -1488398114 1 across 168 published Deployables entries.
A repair bench fixes the Composter from broken for 40 Wood and 40 Cloth, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in ten swings for 99 Wood and 52 Cloth in Rust. Bench repairs require no blueprint and reduce maximum condition by 20% across a full durability bar.
Every player starts with the Composter blueprint, so it never needs researching; a Research Table would still charge 10 scrap for it in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -1488398114 across 168 deployables, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -1488398114 1.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Composter despawns after 5 minutes by default. Moving it into a storage box, locker, or player inventory immediately cancels the ground despawn countdown, which the server assigns by item rarity tier to prevent dropped loot from lagging active worlds.
The Composter has 32-bit signed item ID -1488398114 and shortname composter 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 Composter in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give composter 1 or inventory.giveid -1488398114 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.
