WoodEach 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 Hobo Barrel gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 75 Wood |

| Green recycler | 50% | 50 Wood |

The Hobo Barrel 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.
In Rust, Hobo Barrel is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #-1442559428, console shortname hobobarrel). 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 vagabond staple. Use this repurposed oil barrel to stay warm.
Crafting Hobo Barrel 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 Hobo Barrel 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.

| Water Barrel | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 15 node / 150 path | Not recyclable |
| Sleeping Bag | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Barbeque | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |

The Hobo Barrel has 50 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -1442559428 across 168 deployables, while F1 console command inventory.giveid -1442559428 1 spawns 1 unit for testing across 168 published Deployables entries (158 with crafting blueprints).
The Hobo Barrel is crafted by hand from 100 Wood in Rust. It sits in the Deployables catalog with item ID -1442559428 alongside 167 related deployables and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -1442559428 1.
The Hobo Barrel recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 50 Wood. It is indexed under the Deployables category alongside 167 other deployables in Rust (item ID -1442559428) and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -1442559428 1.
The Hobo Barrel 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 -1442559428 across 168 deployables and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Hobo Barrel 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 Hobo Barrel has 32-bit signed item ID -1442559428 and shortname hobobarrel 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 Hobo Barrel in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give hobobarrel 1 or inventory.giveid -1442559428 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.
