Fridge
Electrical,Common,Deployable,Blueprint
Unlocking the Fridge takes 270 scrap on the Engineering Workbench tech tree, path included, and it has 200 health once placed.
A 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.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “112 + 50%” means 112 every time and a 50% chance of one more.

Fridge crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust
Crafting Fridge in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 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). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
How Fridge compares to related electrical in Rust
When choosing between Fridge and related electrical in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (15 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 270-scrap tech tree path and save 255 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
