Workbench Level 1, 15s, yields 1

Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 2, 3.75s at Workbench Level 3.

The Boom Box blueprint comes with the Voice Props Pack DLC, so owners craft it without researching it. Researching it anyway costs 10 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.

Boom Box crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust

Crafting Boom Box in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1, 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.

How Boom Box compares to related fun in Rust

When comparing Boom Box against related fun 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.
