Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 2, 3.75s at Workbench Level 3.
The Connected Speaker 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.
What the Connected Speaker gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 56 + 25% Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 45 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 37 + 50% Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 30 Metal Fragments |
The Connected Speaker breaks down into 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. “56 + 25%” means 56 every time and a 25% chance of one more.
In Rust, Connected Speaker is a fun and decoration in the Fun category (item ID #968421290, console shortname connected.speaker). In active play, it follows standard server rules for fun and decoration gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 5 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
A small speaker that will play any audio from a connected Boom Box.
Crafting Connected Speaker 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.
Most fun and decoration items stack to 1; the Connected Speaker stacks to 5.
When comparing Connected Speaker 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.
