Workbench Level 1, 15s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 2, 3.75s at Workbench Level 3.
Researching the blueprint costs 15 scrap at a Research Table.
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.
What the Mini Fridge gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 37 + 50% Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 30 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 25 Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 20 Metal Fragments |
The Mini Fridge breaks down into 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. “37 + 50%” means 37 every time and a 50% chance of one more.
In Rust, Mini Fridge is a electrical in the Electrical category (item ID #1174484438, console shortname mini fridge). In active play, it follows standard server rules for electrical gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
Ideal for preserving food and keeping items cool.
Crafting Mini 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.
When choosing between Mini 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 135-scrap tech tree path and save 120 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini Fridge | Electrical | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 135 path | Not recyclable |
| Fridge | Electrical | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 270 path | Not recyclable |
| Twitch Rivals Neon Sign | Electrical | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Electrical Branch | Electrical | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 150 path | Not recyclable |

The Mini Fridge has 100 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Electrical category under numeric ID 1174484438 across 83 electrical, while F1 console command inventory.giveid 1174484438 1 spawns 1 unit for testing across 83 published Electrical entries (79 with crafting blueprints).
The Mini Fridge is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 50 Metal Fragments, once the blueprint is learned 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 Mini Fridge recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 25 Metal Fragments. Monument green recyclers shred items one unit at a time on fast radtown cycles, whereas safe-zone yellow units trade lower material recovery for peacekeeper protection.
The Mini Fridge takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Electrical category under numeric ID 1174484438 across 83 electrical, stacking to 1 unit per slot, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 1174484438 1.
A repair bench fixes the Mini Fridge from broken for 10 Metal Fragments, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in two swings for 25 Metal Fragments in Rust. Bench repairs require no blueprint and reduce maximum condition by 20% across a full durability bar.
Blueprint progression for Mini Fridge at Engineering Workbench in Rust charges 15 scrap on the target node and 135 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 15 scrap. It belongs to the Electrical category under numeric ID 1174484438 across 83 electrical.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Mini Fridge despawns after 5 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 Mini Fridge has 32-bit signed item ID 1174484438 and shortname mini fridge in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Electrical category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Mini Fridge in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give mini fridge 1 or inventory.giveid 1174484438 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.
