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.
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 Hitch & Trough gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |

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.
In Rust, Hitch & Trough is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #1160881421, console shortname hitchtroughcombo). 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.
A Hitching post and Trough. Dismounting your horses here will keep them healthy and fed as long as it is kept stocked with food. Livestock will also eat from here if there's not enough grass nearby.
Crafting Hitch & Trough 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 Hitch & Trough 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.

The Hitch & Trough is crafted by hand from 200 Wood in Rust. It sits in the Deployables catalog with item ID 1160881421 alongside 167 related deployables, while F1 console command inventory.giveid 1160881421 1 spawns 1 unit for testing across 168 published Deployables entries.
The Hitch & Trough recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 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 Hitch & Trough 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 1160881421 across 168 deployables, stacking up to 1 unit per inventory or container slot.
A repair bench fixes the Hitch & Trough from broken for 40 Wood, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in five swings for 100 Wood in Rust. Bench repairs require no blueprint and reduce maximum condition by 20% across a full durability bar.
Every player starts with the Hitch & Trough 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 1160881421 across 168 deployables across 168 published Deployables entries.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Hitch & Trough 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 Hitch & Trough has 32-bit signed item ID 1160881421 and shortname hitchtroughcombo 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 Hitch & Trough in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give hitchtroughcombo 1 or inventory.giveid 1160881421 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.
