High Quality Metal,
Metal Fragments,
ScrapA repair bench charges 20% of the item’s recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn. A component in the recipe is charged as the first ingredient of its own recipe instead, or not at all when it has no recipe.
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.

A recycler takes one at a time.

In Rust, Test Generator is a electrical in the Electrical category (item ID #-295829489, console shortname electric.generator.small). 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 20 minutes.
A Mailbox that accepts notes. Only you can access the mail due to a one way slit.
In Rust, Test Generator has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on map collection, smelting, or vendor trades 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.
The Test Generator has the most health of the 83 electrical items.
When comparing Test Generator against related electrical in Rust, prioritize farming its highest-probability monument containers or recycling surplus components at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base yield, versus forty percent at safe-zone yellow units) because this item cannot be crafted at a player workbench.
