Workbench Level 2, 15s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 3.
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.

The Medium Animated Neon Sign breaks down into High Quality Metal 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. “1 + 50%” means 1 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.

Crafting Medium Animated Neon Sign in Rust takes 15 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). Placed structures heal with a Hammer using raw materials from your inventory.
When comparing Medium Animated Neon Sign against related electrical 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.
