Workbench Level 2, 25s, yields 1

Faster at a higher workbench: 12.5s at Workbench Level 3.

Researching the blueprint costs 15 scrap at a Research Table.

Small Boat Engine recycling

What the Small Boat Engine gives back in each recycler

Recycler Efficiency You get
Red recycler75%1 + 50% Gears, 3 + 75% High Quality Metal, 37 + 50% Low Grade Fuel
Green recycler (powered)60%1 + 20% Gears, 3 High Quality Metal, 30 Low Grade Fuel
Green recycler50%1 Gears, 2 + 50% High Quality Metal, 25 Low Grade Fuel
Yellow recycler40%80% Gears, 2 High Quality Metal, 20 Low Grade Fuel

The Small Boat Engine breaks down into Gears, High Quality Metal and Low Grade Fuel.

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. “1 + 50%” means 1 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.

Small Boat Engine stats, mechanics, and overview in Rust

In Rust, Small Boat Engine is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #-2115299615, console shortname smallengine). 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 punchy boat engine made from scavenged parts, not good for the environment. More engines means more speed.

  • Blueprint unlock savings (game files): Research Table study (15 scrap) saves 180 scrap (92% less) vs the 195-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 smallengine to auto-stock locker kits and storage boxes

Small Boat Engine crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust

Crafting Small Boat Engine in Rust takes 25 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 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 Small Boat Engine compares to related deployables in Rust

When choosing between Small Boat Engine and related deployables in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (15 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 195-scrap tech tree path and save 180 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.

Frequently asked questions about Small Boat Engine in Rust

How much health does the Small Boat Engine have in Rust?

The Small Boat Engine has 300 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -2115299615 across 168 deployables and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server across 168 published Deployables entries (158 with crafting blueprints).

How do you get the Small Boat Engine in Rust?

The Small Boat Engine is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 5 High Quality Metal, 2 Gears and 50 Low Grade Fuel, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Smelting raw ores and looting required components from monument crates lets players queue the craft at their workbench.

What does the Small Boat Engine recycle into in Rust?

The Small Boat Engine recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 1 Gears, 2 High Quality Metal plus a 50% chance of one more and 25 Low Grade Fuel. Radtown green recyclers return higher base material efficiency than safe-zone yellow recyclers, which trade lower output for peacekeeper turret protection.

How long does the Small Boat Engine take to craft in Rust?

The Small Boat Engine takes 25 seconds to craft, down to 12.5 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -2115299615 across 168 deployables, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -2115299615 1 across 168 published Deployables entries.

How much scrap is the Small Boat Engine on the Rust tech tree?

Blueprint progression for Small Boat Engine at Workbench Level 2 in Rust charges 15 scrap on the target node and 195 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 15 scrap.

How long does a dropped Small Boat Engine take to despawn in Rust?

Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Small Boat Engine 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.

What is the item ID for the Small Boat Engine in Rust?

The Small Boat Engine has 32-bit signed item ID -2115299615 and shortname smallengine 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 Small Boat Engine in Rust?

Server administrators in Rust spawn the Small Boat Engine in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give smallengine 1 or inventory.giveid -2115299615 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.
