Reduction is how much of that damage type never lands. Damage taken is the rest: at 50% reduction a hit for 100 does 50. A negative reduction means the hit lands harder than it would bare.

A green recycler always gives back 125 × Metal Fragments and 1 × Sheet Metal for one.

From full health (250 HP), each one placed on it: damage per hit is after its protection. Duds are throws that fizzle and need another throw, not counted in Needed. Costs are for the whole count, crafted from raw materials.
