No workbench, 15s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 1, 3.75s at Workbench Level 2 or 3.
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 Scarecrow gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 7 + 50% Cloth, 150 Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 6 Cloth, 120 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 5 Cloth, 100 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 4 Cloth, 80 Wood |
The Scarecrow breaks down into Cloth and Wood.
A recycler takes them one at a time, so a full stack of 5 goes through in 5 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “7 + 50%” means 7 every time and a 50% chance of one more.
In Rust, Scarecrow is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #177226991, console shortname scarecrow). In active play, it follows standard server rules for deployable gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 5 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
Get into the halloween spirit with this decorative deployable item.
Crafting Scarecrow 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.
Most deployables stack to 1; the Scarecrow stacks to 5.
When comparing Scarecrow 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.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |

| Christmas Tree | Deployables | 1 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Artist Canvas Standing | Deployables | 5 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Artist Canvas Large | Deployables | 5 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |

The Scarecrow has 250 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID 177226991 across 168 deployables, while server admins spawn it via inventory.giveid 177226991 5 or queue crafts with craft.add 0 177226991 1 across 168 published Deployables entries.
The Scarecrow is crafted by hand from 200 Wood and 10 Cloth in Rust. It sits in the Deployables catalog with item ID 177226991 alongside 167 related deployables, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 177226991 5 across 168 published Deployables entries (158 with crafting blueprints).
The Scarecrow recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 5 Cloth and 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 Scarecrow 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 177226991 across 168 deployables, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 177226991 5 across 168 published Deployables entries.
A repair bench fixes the Scarecrow from broken for 40 Wood and 2 Cloth, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in five swings for 100 Wood and 5 Cloth in Rust. Bench repairs require no blueprint and reduce maximum condition by 20% across a full durability bar.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Scarecrow 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 Scarecrow stacks to 5 per slot in Rust. Players can split a pile in half with middle-click drag or move a custom quantity with Shift-click drag across inventory slots, storage boxes, and the Tool Cupboard, while dropped copies despawn after 5 minutes under the Deployables category (item ID 177226991).
The Scarecrow has 32-bit signed item ID 177226991 and shortname scarecrow 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 5 units per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Scarecrow in the F1 developer console with inventory.give scarecrow 5 or inventory.giveid 177226991 5 for 5 units. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
