Metal FragmentsA 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 Snowman gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 37 + 50% Charcoal, 15 Cloth, 15 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 30 Charcoal, 12 Cloth, 12 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 25 Charcoal, 10 Cloth, 10 Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 20 Charcoal, 8 Cloth, 8 Metal Fragments |
The Snowman breaks down into Charcoal, Cloth and Metal Fragments.
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. “37 + 50%” means 37 every time and a 50% chance of one more.
In Rust, Snowman is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #1629293099, console shortname snowman). 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 holiday spirit with this decorative snowman.
Crafting Snowman 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 Snowman stacks to 5.
When comparing Snowman 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Snowman | Deployables | 5 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Anchor | Deployables | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 165 path | Not recyclable |
| Chippy Arcade Game | Deployables | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Bath Tub Planter | Deployables | 10 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |

The Snowman has 250 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID 1629293099 across 168 deployables, while server admins spawn it via inventory.giveid 1629293099 5 or queue crafts with craft.add 0 1629293099 1 across 168 published Deployables entries.
The Snowman is crafted by hand from 50 Charcoal, 20 Cloth and 20 Metal Fragments 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.
The Snowman recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 25 Charcoal, 10 Cloth and 10 Metal Fragments. 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 Snowman 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 1629293099 across 168 deployables, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 1629293099 5 across 168 published Deployables entries.
A repair bench fixes the Snowman from broken for 10 Charcoal, 4 Cloth and 4 Metal Fragments, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in five swings for 25 Charcoal, 10 Cloth and 10 Metal Fragments in Rust.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Snowman 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 Snowman 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 1629293099).
The Snowman has 32-bit signed item ID 1629293099 and shortname snowman 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 Snowman in the F1 developer console with inventory.give snowman 5 or inventory.giveid 1629293099 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.
