Workbench Level 2, 25s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 12.5s at Workbench Level 3.
Every player starts with this blueprint. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table.

High Quality MetalA 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 Workbench Level 3 gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 3 + 75% Advanced Blueprint Fragment, 75 High Quality Metal, 750 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 3 Advanced Blueprint Fragment, 60 High Quality Metal, 600 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 2 + 50% Advanced Blueprint Fragment, 50 High Quality Metal, 500 Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 2 Advanced Blueprint Fragment, 40 High Quality Metal, 400 Metal Fragments |
The Workbench Level 3 breaks down into Advanced Blueprint Fragment, High Quality Metal and Metal Fragments.
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. “3 + 75%” means 3 every time and a 75% chance of one more.
In Rust, Workbench Level 3 is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #-1607980696, console shortname workbench3). 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.
This allows you to craft and unlock items requiring workbench level 3.
Crafting Workbench Level 3 in Rust takes 25 seconds at a Workbench Level 2, 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 Workbench Level 3 against related deployables in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (25 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Workbench Level 3 | Deployables | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Workbench Level 2 | Deployables | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Workbench Level 1 | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Small Stash | Deployables | 5 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
Compare Workbench Level 3 with closely related deployable sheets in the Rust item catalog:
To compare Workbench Level 3 against every item in its inventory category, browse All 168 items in Deployables.
The Workbench Level 3 has 750 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -1607980696 across 168 deployables and despawns after 20 minutes when dropped on a default server across 168 published Deployables entries (158 with crafting blueprints).
The Workbench Level 3 is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 1,000 Metal Fragments, 100 High Quality Metal and 5 Advanced Blueprint Fragment in Rust. Non-craftable components like Advanced Blueprint Fragment must be looted from monument crates or recycled gear before queuing the craft at your bench.
The Workbench Level 3 opens the Workbench Level 3 tech tree when placed in a base in Rust, covering 20 craftable items for 1,800 scrap from first node to last. It sits in the Deployables catalog with item ID -1607980696 alongside 167 related deployables.
The Workbench Level 3 runs random blueprint experiments in Rust for 1,000 scrap per roll, picking an unlearned recipe from its workbench tier at random. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -1607980696 across 168 deployables, stacking to 1 unit per slot.
The Workbench Level 3 recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 2 Advanced Blueprint Fragments plus a 50% chance of one more, 50 High Quality Metal and 500 Metal Fragments. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -1607980696 across 168 deployables.
The Workbench Level 3 takes 25 seconds to craft, down to 12.5 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It is indexed under the Deployables category alongside 167 other deployables in Rust (item ID -1607980696) across 168 published Deployables entries (158 with crafting blueprints).
A repair bench fixes the Workbench Level 3 from broken for 200 Metal Fragments and 20 High Quality Metal, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in 15 swings for 492 Metal Fragments and 58 High Quality Metal in Rust.
Every player starts with the Workbench Level 3 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 -1607980696 across 168 deployables across 168 published Deployables entries.
The Workbench Level 3 has 32-bit signed item ID -1607980696 and shortname workbench3 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 Workbench Level 3 in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give workbench3 1 or inventory.giveid -1607980696 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.
