Metal FragmentsA 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 New Year Gong gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 37 + 50% Metal Fragments, 75 Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 30 Metal Fragments, 60 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 25 Metal Fragments, 50 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 20 Metal Fragments, 40 Wood |
The New Year Gong breaks down into Metal Fragments 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. “37 + 50%” means 37 every time and a 50% chance of one more.
In Rust, New Year Gong is a fun and decoration in the Fun category (item ID #-961457160, console shortname newyeargong). 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.
Ring in the Lunar new year with a massive gong!
Crafting New Year Gong in Rust takes 15 seconds by hand without a workbench, 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.
When comparing New Year Gong 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.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Year Gong | Fun | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Above Ground Pool | Fun | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Beach Chair | Fun | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Beach Parasol | Fun | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |

The New Year Gong has 100 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Fun category under numeric ID -961457160 across 63 fun and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server across 63 published Fun entries (57 with crafting blueprints).
The New Year Gong is crafted by hand from 100 Wood and 50 Metal Fragments in Rust. Raw ores smelt into metal inputs in a furnace while non-craftable components must be looted from monument crates before queuing the craft at your workbench.
The New Year Gong recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 25 Metal Fragments and 50 Wood. Monument green recyclers shred items one unit at a time on fast radtown cycles, whereas safe-zone yellow units trade lower material recovery for peacekeeper protection.
The New Year Gong takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 2 or 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Fun category under numeric ID -961457160 across 63 fun, stacking up to 1 unit per inventory or container slot.
A repair bench fixes the New Year Gong from broken for 20 Wood and 10 Metal Fragments, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in two swings for 50 Wood and 25 Metal Fragments in Rust.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the New Year Gong 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 New Year Gong has 32-bit signed item ID -961457160 and shortname newyeargong in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Fun category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the New Year Gong in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give newyeargong 1 or inventory.giveid -961457160 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.
