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.

Plank stats, mechanics, and overview in Rust

In Rust, Plank is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #-952411326, console shortname plank). 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.

Crude boarding plank thrown together from ruined floorboards, watch out for splinters.

  • Blueprint unlock savings (game files): Research Table study (15 scrap) saves 150 scrap (91% less) vs the 165-scrap tech tree branch
  • Monument recycling yield: Radtown green units return 50% of ingredients (5s cycle), beating 40% yellow safe-zone units by +25%
  • Maintenance rule: Carries no condition wear bar and needs no bench maintenance
  • Conveyor & locker automation: Filter by category or shortname plank to auto-stock locker kits and storage boxes

Plank crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust

Crafting Plank 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). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.

How Plank compares to related deployables in Rust

When choosing between Plank and related deployables in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (15 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 165-scrap tech tree path and save 150 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.

Frequently asked questions about Plank in Rust

How much health does the Plank have in Rust?

The Plank has 300 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -952411326 across 168 deployables, while server admins spawn it via inventory.giveid -952411326 1 or queue crafts with craft.add 0 -952411326 1 across 168 published Deployables entries.

How do you get the Plank in Rust?

The Plank is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 100 Wood, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Raw ores smelt into metal inputs in a furnace while non-craftable components must be looted from monument crates before queuing the craft at your workbench.

What does the Plank recycle into in Rust?

The Plank 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 -952411326) and despawns after 5 minutes (300 seconds) when left on the ground on default servers.

How long does the Plank take to craft in Rust?

The Plank takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -952411326 across 168 deployables and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -952411326 1.

How much scrap is the Plank on the Rust tech tree?

Blueprint progression for Plank at Workbench Level 1 in Rust charges 15 scrap on the target node and 165 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 -952411326 across 168 deployables.

How long does a dropped Plank take to despawn in Rust?

Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Plank 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.

What is the item ID for the Plank in Rust?

The Plank has 32-bit signed item ID -952411326 and shortname plank 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).

What is the give command for the Plank in Rust?

Server administrators in Rust spawn the Plank in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give plank 1 or inventory.giveid -952411326 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.
