Flatbed Vehicle Module

Single module flatbed.

The Flatbed Vehicle Module is a vehicle module in Rust that takes 1 socket on a modular car's chassis. It weighs 120 kg and has 250 health on the car. You craft it at a Level 2 Workbench, and its blueprint costs 100 scrap to research.

About the Flatbed Vehicle Module

Its health on the car is the module item's condition, so a module taken off keeps its damage and goes back on with it. Shredded with its car at the Junkyard, it gives back half of its recipe, rounded down.

On the tech tree it sits behind 5 other unlocks: Modular Car Lift, Small Rechargeable Battery, Large Solar Panel, Water Wheel and Switch.
