The Egg Basket breaks down into Metal Fragments and Scrap.
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. Scrap keeps its decimals: the recycler pays whole pieces and carries the rest into its next payout.
In Rust, Egg Basket is a event item and key in the Misc category (item ID #1856217390, console shortname easterbasket). In active play, it follows standard server rules for event item and key gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 20 minutes.
An easter egg basket. Equip to pick up eggs during an easter egg hunt with left click. Use right click to throw.
In Rust, Egg Basket has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on map collection, smelting, or vendor trades read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler returns 15 scrap at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When comparing Egg Basket against related misc in Rust, prioritize farming its highest-probability monument containers or recycling surplus components at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base yield, versus forty percent at safe-zone yellow units) because this item cannot be crafted at a player workbench.

The Egg Basket recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 15 scrap and 50 Metal Fragments. 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.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Egg Basket despawns after 20 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 Egg Basket has no crafting blueprint in Rust and cannot be made at a workbench or Research Table. Within the Misc category (18 craftable of 50), it spawns in the world or via inventory.give easterbasket 1, with item ID 1856217390 and despawns after 20 minutes when dropped.
The Egg Basket has no durability bar in Rust and never loses condition in storage or on the belt, so condition never degrades during use. Grouped with 50 misc entries under Misc, it stacks to 1 per slot and despawns in 20 minutes.
The Egg Basket is limited to 1 unit per slot in Rust, so each copy takes its own slot in a 24-slot player inventory, 6-slot belt, or 48-slot large wood box. Across 50 Misc entries, it carries ID 1856217390 and despawns after 20 minutes.
The Egg Basket has 32-bit signed item ID 1856217390 and shortname easterbasket in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Misc category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Egg Basket in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give easterbasket 1 or inventory.giveid 1856217390 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands work only on dedicated or local worlds where your Steam account holds administrator or moderator privileges.
