Dropped on the ground, the Paper Map despawns after 30 seconds.
What the Paper Map gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 75  Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 60 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 50 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 40 Wood |
The Paper Map 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, Paper Map is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #696029452, console shortname map). 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 30 seconds.
Helps you figure out where you are. You can annotate the map by right-clicking and drawing on it. Drag the map into your belt bar to make it active. You will then be able to view the map by holding down the map button (G by default).
In Rust, Paper Map has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on map collection, smelting, or vendor trades 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). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When comparing Paper Map against related deployables in Rust, prioritize farming its highest-probability monument containers or recycling surplus components at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base yield, versus forty percent at safe-zone yellow units) because this item cannot be crafted at a player workbench.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper Map | Deployables | 1 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Key Lock | Construction | 10 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Artist Canvas Small | Deployables | 5 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Artist Canvas XL | Deployables | 5 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |

The Paper Map recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 50 Wood. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID 696029452 across 168 deployables, while F1 console command inventory.giveid 696029452 1 spawns 1 unit for testing across 168 published Deployables entries.
The Paper Map has no durability bar in Rust and never loses condition in storage or on the belt, so condition never degrades during use. Grouped with 168 deployables entries under Deployables, it stacks to 1 per slot and despawns in 30 seconds.
The Paper Map is limited to 1 unit per slot in Rust, so each copy takes its own slot in a 24-slot player inventory, 6-slot belt, or 48-slot large wood box. Across 168 Deployables entries, it carries ID 696029452 and despawns after 30 seconds.
The Paper Map remains on the ground for 30 seconds (30 seconds) before despawning on a default Rust server. Picking it back up into an inventory (up to 1 per slot) or storage box resets that timer under the Deployables category (item ID 696029452).
The Paper Map belongs to the Deployables category (168 published items, 158 with crafting blueprints) and sits in the deployable display family alongside 167 other deployables items in Rust. For server administration and conveyor filters, it uses shortname map and item ID 696029452.
The Paper Map has 32-bit signed item ID 696029452 and shortname map 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 Paper Map in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give map 1 or inventory.giveid 696029452 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands work only on dedicated or local worlds where your Steam account holds administrator or moderator privileges.
