What the Bandage gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 3 Cloth |

| Green recycler | 50% | 2 Cloth |

The Bandage breaks down into Cloth.
A recycler takes them one at a time, so a full stack of 3 goes through in 3 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “2 + 40%” means 2 every time and a 40% chance of one more.
In Rust, Bandage is a medical in the Medical category (item ID #-2072273936, console shortname bandage). In active play, it follows standard server rules for medical gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 3 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
Heal yourself or others with this bandage. Left-click heals you, right-click heals a target.
Crafting Bandage in Rust takes 5 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.
When comparing Bandage against related medical in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (5 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.
