Fogger-3000
A Fog machine which runs on low grade fuel. Can be set to fill an area with a dense fog or triggered by motion.
The Fogger-3000 is an electrical component in Rust that draws no power of its own. It has 3 inputs and no outputs to connect, and 100 health once placed. You can craft it without a workbench.
About the Fogger-3000
It takes only Low Grade Fuel. Only players with building privilege can open it. Destroyed, it drops what it holds.
Of everything on its raid list, the 40mm HE Grenade costs the least sulfur: 6 of them destroy it for 510 sulfur in all. Without a tool cupboard covering it, it starts to decay after 2 days, then goes from full health to nothing in 4 days outdoors; a repair resets the wait. Recycling it returns the Metal Pipe only by chance, 50% of the time.

×1 How to repair the Fogger-3000
A full repair at a Repair Bench costs 21 × Metal Fragments, 7 × Low Grade Fuel and 1 × High Quality Metal, and no blueprint is needed.
×21 ×7 ×1 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.
