Mail Box

The mail box can be placed just about anywhere and have a special compartment that can only accept notes and cassettes. Players without building privileges will only be shown one slot for the note or cassette they are about to leave. Players with building privileges can open it to gain access to any items left inside. When an item is left then the small red flag on the side of the mail box is raised to indicate at a glance that something is inside. Once the mail box is accessed by a player with building privileges then the red flag will lower, regardless of whether the mail box is emptied or not.

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.
