Low Grade Fuel

Low Grade Fuel is a resource made from Animal Fat and Cloth. It is required early game to make furnaces and mid game for Syringes. There are three ways to get this, hunting animals (or to a lesser effect, humans) and crafting it, refining crude oil at a monument or personal refinery, and finding it in oil barrels (or to a lesser effect in mine carts).

Recycling

Rust has two recycler types. Monument recyclers are faster and yield 60%, but you can be attacked. Safe-zone recyclers in Outpost and Bandit yield 40% and take longer, but turrets protect you.
