Workbench Level 1, 15s, yields 1

Every player starts with this blueprint. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table.
What it takes to destroy the Vending Machine with one explosive alone, cheapest first.
| Explosive | Needed | Sulfur |
|---|---|---|
Timed Explosive Charge | 5 | 11,000 |
Satchel Charge | 29 | 13,920 |
Rocket | 10 | 14,000 |
Beancan Grenade | 139 | 16,680 |
High Velocity Rocket | 84 | 16,800 |
40mm HE Grenade | 70 | Loot only |

Satchel Charge, 10,680 sulfurWhat it takes to destroy the Vending Machine with one siege weapon alone, each paid in what its own recipe asks: metal and fuel for the ram, sulfur and the rest for a propane bomb.
| Siege weapon | Needed | Costs |
|---|---|---|
Battering Ram | 25 hits, 6 hammer swings on the head | 96 High Quality Metal, at least 12 Low Grade Fuel |
Propane Explosive Bomb by catapult | 10 | 13,500 Charcoal, 9,000 Sulfur, 1,000 Metal Fragments, 150 Animal Fat, 100 Scrap, 50 Cloth |
|
Propane Explosive Bomb placed by hand | 16 | 21,600 Charcoal, 14,400 Sulfur, 1,600 Metal Fragments, 240 Animal Fat, 160 Scrap, 80 Cloth |
A battering ram head is worn out after 9 hits, and one hammer swing on it costs 16 High Quality Metal and gives it 3 more. The ram strikes once every 4.5 seconds with its engine running, which burns at least 0.1 Low Grade Fuel a second.
Every count starts from full health, with the Timed Explosive Charge and the Satchel Charge stuck on the Vending Machine.
A Satchel Charge fails to go off 20% of the time and a Beancan Grenade 15%, so carry spares.
A repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn. A component in the recipe is charged as the first ingredient of its own recipe instead, or not at all when it has no recipe.
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 Vending Machine gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 2 + 25% Gears, 15 High Quality Metal |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 1 + 80% Gears, 12 High Quality Metal |
| Green recycler | 50% | 1 + 50% Gears, 10 High Quality Metal |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 1 + 20% Gears, 8 High Quality Metal |
The Vending Machine breaks down into Gears and High Quality Metal.
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. “2 + 25%” means 2 every time and a 25% chance of one more.
On the Steam Market, the 19 skins for the Vending Machine sell for $0.98 at the cheapest and $23.52 at the dearest.

Nothing here matches that. Try a shorter piece of the name.
In Rust, Vending Machine is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #198438816, console shortname vending.machine). Once placed, the structure holds 1,250 HP and takes at least 10,300 sulfur to breach. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 20 minutes.
Trade your goods with other players safely by creating sell and buy orders. If a raider gains access to the rear panel, they will have free reign over all of your goodies. Keep it safe.
Crafting Vending Machine in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1, 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.
When comparing Vending Machine 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vending Machine | Deployables | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 10 scrap (Table) | 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 Vending Machine has 1,250 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID 198438816 across 168 deployables, while F1 console command inventory.giveid 198438816 1 spawns 1 unit for testing across 168 published Deployables entries (158 with crafting blueprints).
The Vending Machine is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 20 High Quality Metal and 3 Gears 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 Vending Machine (1,250 health once placed) breaks for at least 10,300 sulfur using 4 Timed Explosive Charge and 60 Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo in Rust. Single-explosive raids against the Vending Machine require 5 Timed Explosive Charge (11,000 sulfur).
The Vending Machine recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 1 Gears plus a 50% chance of one more and 10 High Quality Metal. Undamaged copies return the full listed yield, whereas worn items scale their recycler output down in proportion to remaining durability.
The Vending Machine takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It sits in the Deployables catalog with item ID 198438816 alongside 167 related deployables, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 198438816 1 across 168 published Deployables entries.
A repair bench fixes the Vending Machine from broken for 4 High Quality Metal and 15 Metal Fragments, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in 12 swings for 12 High Quality Metal and 12 Metal Fragments in Rust.
Every player starts with the Vending Machine blueprint, so it never needs researching; a Research Table would still charge 10 scrap for it in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID 198438816 across 168 deployables, stacking to 1 unit per slot.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Vending Machine 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 Vending Machine has 32-bit signed item ID 198438816 and shortname vending.machine 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 Vending Machine in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give vending.machine 1 or inventory.giveid 198438816 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.
