Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Industrial Crafter, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Locked Crate | 1.3% | 1 to 2 |
 Elite Crate | 0.78% | 1 to 3 |
| Scientist PT Boat Dry Box | 0.73% | 1 to 3 |
 Military Crate | 0.42% | 1 |
 Underwater Lab Military Crate | 0.42% | 1 |
 Wagon Military Crate | 0.42% | 1 |
Missile Silo Scientist (underground) | 0.3% | 1 |
Scientist | 0.074% | 1 |
Heavy Scientist | 0.061% | 1 |
 Treasure Box, mission reward | 1.6% | 1 to 2 |
 Gingerbread Mine Present, Christmas event only | 0.42% | 1 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
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 Industrial Crafter gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 2 + 25% High Quality Metal, 1 + 50% Tech Trash |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 1 + 80% High Quality Metal, 1 + 20% Tech Trash |
| Green recycler | 50% | 1 + 50% High Quality Metal, 1 Tech Trash |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 1 + 20% High Quality Metal, 80% Tech Trash |
The Industrial Crafter breaks down into High Quality Metal and Tech Trash.
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. “2 + 25%” means 2 every time and a 25% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Industrial Crafter is a electrical in the Electrical category (item ID #1430085198, console shortname industrial.crafter). In active play, it follows standard server rules for electrical gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 5 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 20 minutes.

Crafting Industrial Crafter 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.
When choosing between Industrial Crafter and related electrical in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 390-scrap tech tree path and save 360 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 |

| Industrial Crafter | Electrical | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 390 path | Not recyclable |
| Industrial Splitter | Electrical | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 330 path | Not recyclable |
| Industrial Combiner | Electrical | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 345 path | Not recyclable |
| Seismic Sensor | Electrical | 10 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 225 path | Not recyclable |
