What the Sky Lantern gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 7 + 50% Cloth, 3 + 75% Low Grade Fuel |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 6 Cloth, 3 Low Grade Fuel |
| Green recycler | 50% | 5 Cloth, 2 + 50% Low Grade Fuel |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 4 Cloth, 2 Low Grade Fuel |
The Sky Lantern breaks down into Cloth and Low Grade Fuel.
A recycler takes 2 per cycle, so a full stack of 20 goes through in 10 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “7 + 50%” means 7 every time and a 50% chance of one more.
In Rust, Sky Lantern is a fun and decoration in the Fun category (item ID #1819863051, console shortname skylantern). In active play, it follows standard server rules for fun and decoration gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 20 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
A set of beautiful sky lanterns. Comes in 5 colors. Can be launched in any direction. Has one inventory slot. Can be Ignited with a lit torch.
Crafting Sky Lantern in Rust takes 2 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). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
Most fun and decoration items stack to 1; the Sky Lantern stacks to 20.
When comparing Sky Lantern against related fun in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (2 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.

| Wrapped Gift | Fun | 1 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Inner Tube | Fun | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Spider Webs | Misc | 10 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |

The Sky Lantern is crafted by hand from 10 Cloth and 5 Low Grade Fuel 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 Sky Lantern recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 5 Cloth and 2 Low Grade Fuel plus a 50% chance of one more. Undamaged copies return the full listed yield, whereas worn items scale their recycler output down in proportion to remaining durability.
The Sky Lantern takes 2 seconds to craft, down to 0.5 seconds at Workbench Level 2 or 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Fun category under numeric ID 1819863051 across 63 fun and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Sky Lantern 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 Sky Lantern stacks to 20 per slot in Rust. Players can split a pile in half with middle-click drag or move a custom quantity with Shift-click drag across inventory slots, storage boxes, and the Tool Cupboard, while dropped copies despawn after 5 minutes under the Fun category (item ID 1819863051).
The Sky Lantern has 32-bit signed item ID 1819863051 and shortname skylantern 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 20 units per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Sky Lantern in the F1 developer console with inventory.give skylantern 20 or inventory.giveid 1819863051 20 for 20 units. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
