The Star Tree Topper 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. “112 + 50%” means 112 every time and a 50% chance of one more. Scrap keeps its decimals: the recycler pays whole pieces and carries the rest into its next payout.
In Rust, Star Tree Topper is a event item and key in the Misc category (item ID #-1331212963, console shortname xmas.decoration.star). 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 5 minutes.
A golden star to top off your Christmas Tree.
In Rust, Star Tree Topper 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 10 scrap at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When comparing Star Tree Topper 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.

Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Star Tree Topper 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 Star Tree Topper 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 5 minutes.
The Star Tree Topper 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 -1331212963 and despawns after 5 minutes.
The Star Tree Topper has 32-bit signed item ID -1331212963 and shortname xmas.decoration.star 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).
