Workbench Level 1, 15s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 2, 3.75s at Workbench Level 3.
Researching the blueprint costs 15 scrap at a Research Table.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Kayak, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Sunken Chest | 1.1% | 1 |
 Normal Crate | 0.44% | 1 |
 Wagon Normal Crate | 0.44% | 1 |
Scientist | 0.16% | 1 |
Tunnel Dweller and Underwater Dweller | 0.16% | 1 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.

What the Kayak gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 37 + 50% Cloth, 56 + 25% Metal Fragments, 150 Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 30 Cloth, 45 Metal Fragments, 120 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 25 Cloth, 37 + 50% Metal Fragments, 100 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 20 Cloth, 30 Metal Fragments, 80 Wood |
The Kayak breaks down into Cloth, 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. “37 + 50%” means 37 every time and a 50% chance of one more.
In Rust, Kayak is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #190184021, console shortname kayak). 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.
An improvised wooden kayak. Seats two and requires a Paddle to operate.
Crafting Kayak in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 once the 15 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 Kayak and related deployables in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (15 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 60-scrap tech tree path and save 45 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kayak | Deployables | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 60 path | Not recyclable |
| Clump of Latex Balloons | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Small Stash | Deployables | 5 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Heavy Scientist Plushie | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |

To compare Kayak against every item in its inventory category, browse All 168 items in Deployables, or plan prerequisite scrap paths on the The Workbench Level 1 tech tree, tile by tile.
The Kayak has 200 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID 190184021 across 168 deployables, while server admins spawn it via inventory.giveid 190184021 1 or queue crafts with craft.add 0 190184021 1 across 168 published Deployables entries.
The Kayak is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 75 Metal Fragments, 200 Wood and 50 Cloth, 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 Kayak drops from 5 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Sunken Chest (1.1% chance), Normal Crate (0.44% chance), and Wagon Normal Crate (0.44% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Kayak recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 25 Cloth, 37 Metal Fragments plus a 50% chance of one more and 100 Wood. Undamaged copies return the full listed yield, whereas worn items scale their recycler output down in proportion to remaining durability.
The Kayak takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It sits in the Deployables catalog with item ID 190184021 alongside 167 related deployables, stacking to 1 unit per slot, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 190184021 1.
A repair bench fixes the Kayak from broken for 15 Metal Fragments, 40 Wood and 10 Cloth in Rust. Repairing at a Repair Bench requires no learned blueprint, scales material cost by missing durability, and reduces maximum condition by 20% across a full durability bar.
Blueprint progression for Kayak at Workbench Level 1 in Rust charges 15 scrap on the target node and 60 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 15 scrap. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID 190184021 across 168 deployables.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Kayak 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 Kayak has 32-bit signed item ID 190184021 and shortname kayak 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 Kayak in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give kayak 1 or inventory.giveid 190184021 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.
