What the Small Oil Refinery gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 187 + 50% Low Grade Fuel, 375 Metal Fragments, 150 Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 150 Low Grade Fuel, 300 Metal Fragments, 120 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 125 Low Grade Fuel, 250 Metal Fragments, 100 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 100 Low Grade Fuel, 200 Metal Fragments, 80 Wood |
The Small Oil Refinery breaks down into Low Grade Fuel, 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. “187 + 50%” means 187 every time and a 50% chance of one more.
In Rust, Small Oil Refinery is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #-1293296287, console shortname small.oil.refinery). 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 20 minutes.
A small refinery which can produce Low Grade Fuel from Crude Oil.
Crafting Small Oil Refinery in Rust takes 25 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 once the 30 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). Placed structures heal with a Hammer using raw materials from your inventory.
Only two of the 181 deployables have more health than the Small Oil Refinery.
The Small Oil Refinery has 1,500 health, as does the Large Furnace.
When choosing between Small Oil Refinery and related deployables in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 450-scrap tech tree path and save 420 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 |

| Christmas Lights | Deployables | 20 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Portrait Picture Frame | Deployables | 5 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Single Plant Pot | Deployables | 5 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |

The Small Oil Refinery has 1,500 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -1293296287 across 168 deployables and despawns after 20 minutes when dropped on a default server across 168 published Deployables entries (158 with crafting blueprints).
The Small Oil Refinery is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 200 Wood, 500 Metal Fragments and 250 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.
The Small Oil Refinery burns one Wood every 1.5 seconds, about 2,400 an hour in Rust. It is indexed under the Deployables category alongside 167 other deployables in Rust (item ID -1293296287), with F1 console command inventory.giveid -1293296287 1 across 168 published Deployables entries.
The Small Oil Refinery drops from 9 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Locked Crate (1.3% chance), Elite Crate (0.78% chance), and Scientist PT Boat Dry Box (0.73% chance). It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -1293296287 across 168 deployables.
The Small Oil Refinery recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 125 Low Grade Fuel, 250 Metal Fragments and 100 Wood. Full recycler yields apply to an undamaged copy, while partially worn gear returns proportionally fewer materials based on its remaining durability bar.
The Small Oil Refinery repairs in Rust once placed with a Hammer for up to 105 Wood, 238 Metal Fragments and 132 Low Grade Fuel at full wear (27 swings). Hammering a placed structure restores health with no maximum-durability loss after a 30-second combat cooldown.
Blueprint progression for Small Oil Refinery at Workbench Level 2 in Rust charges 30 scrap on the target node and 450 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 30 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Small Oil Refinery despawns after 20 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.
The Small Oil Refinery has 32-bit signed item ID -1293296287 and shortname small.oil.refinery 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 Small Oil Refinery in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give small.oil.refinery 1 or inventory.giveid -1293296287 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.
