The Inner Tube blueprint comes with the Summer Pack DLC, so owners craft it without researching it. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table.

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. “56 + 25%” means 56 every time and a 25% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.

Inner Tube stats, mechanics, and overview in Rust

In Rust, Inner Tube is a fun and decoration in the Fun category (item ID #-697981032, console shortname innertube). In active play, it follows standard server rules for fun and decoration gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.

An inflated tube for aquatic activities.

  • Acquisition profile (game files): Uncraftable in vanilla Rust (0 loot tables, 0 downstream recipes)
  • Monument recycling yield: Radtown green units return 50% of ingredients (5s cycle), beating 40% yellow safe-zone units by +25%
  • Maintenance rule: Carries no condition wear bar and needs no bench maintenance
  • Conveyor & locker automation: Filter by category or shortname innertube to auto-stock locker kits and storage boxes

Inner Tube crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust

Crafting Inner Tube 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). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.

How Inner Tube compares to related fun in Rust

When comparing Inner Tube 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.

How long does a dropped Inner Tube take to despawn in Rust?

Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Inner Tube 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.

What is the item ID for the Inner Tube in Rust?
