Rust Component Guide

As a core mechanic of Blueprints 3.0, components are found throughout the map.

Not everything requires components. Many early game items can be crafted without components or blueprints.

Here is a list of all major components along with their rarity, where to find them, and what crafting recipes use them (quantity required is in parenthesis next to each item).

Scrap

Scrap is used in research tables to acquire blueprints by researching an item, though the learned item will be destroyed in the process. It is also used to craft workbenches and research tables. It can be used in work benches to gamble for a blueprint from the respective tier.
