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.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Pressure Pad, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Normal Crate | 1.3% | 1 to 2 |
 Wagon Normal Crate | 1.3% | 1 to 2 |
 Sunken Chest | 1.1% | 1 |
Scientist | 0.16% | 1 |
Tunnel Dweller and Underwater Dweller | 0.16% | 1 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
Wood,
High Quality Metal,
Metal FragmentsEach 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 Pressure Pad gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 75% Gears, 75% Metal Spring, 112 + 50% Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 60% Gears, 60% Metal Spring, 90 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 50% Gears, 50% Metal Spring, 75 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 40% Gears, 40% Metal Spring, 60 Wood |
The Pressure Pad breaks down into Gears, Metal Spring and Wood.
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. “112 + 50%” means 112 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Pressure Pad is a electrical in the Electrical category (item ID #-2049214035, console shortname electric.pressurepad). 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.
A gate which allows power to flow while a player is standing on it.
Crafting Pressure Pad 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). Placed structures heal with a Hammer using raw materials from your inventory.
When choosing between Pressure Pad and related electrical in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (15 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 165-scrap tech tree path and save 150 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pressure Pad | Electrical | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 165 path | Not recyclable |
| CCTV Camera | Resources | 64 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Ceiling Light | Electrical | 10 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 135 path | Not recyclable |
| Command Block | Electrical | 64 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
To compare Pressure Pad against every item in its inventory category, browse All 83 items in Electrical, or plan prerequisite scrap paths on the The Engineering Workbench tech tree, tile by tile.
The Pressure Pad has 200 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Electrical category under numeric ID -2049214035 across 83 electrical, while F1 console command inventory.giveid -2049214035 1 spawns 1 unit for testing across 83 published Electrical entries (79 with crafting blueprints).
The Pressure Pad is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 150 Wood, 1 Metal Spring and 1 Gears, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Smelting raw ores and looting required components from monument crates lets players queue the craft at their workbench.
The Pressure Pad drops from 5 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Normal Crate (1.3% chance), Wagon Normal Crate (1.3% chance), and Sunken Chest (1.1% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Pressure Pad recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into a 50% chance of Gears, a 50% chance of a Metal Spring and 75 Wood. Undamaged copies return the full listed yield, whereas worn items scale their recycler output down in proportion to remaining durability.
The Pressure Pad takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It sits in the Electrical catalog with item ID -2049214035 alongside 82 related electrical, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -2049214035 1 across 83 published Electrical entries.
The Pressure Pad repairs in Rust once placed with a Hammer for up to 72 Wood, 4 High Quality Metal and 15 Metal Fragments at full wear (4 swings). Hammering a placed structure restores health with no maximum-durability loss after a 30-second combat cooldown.
Blueprint progression for Pressure Pad at Engineering Workbench in Rust charges 15 scrap on the target node and 165 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 -2049214035 across 83 electrical.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Pressure Pad 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 Pressure Pad has 32-bit signed item ID -2049214035 and shortname electric.pressurepad 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 Pressure Pad in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give electric.pressurepad 1 or inventory.giveid -2049214035 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.
