Snow Machine
A machine which will blanket the surrounding terrain in snow.
The Snow Machine 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 craft it at a Level 1 Workbench.
About the Snow Machine
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. Recycling it returns the Metal Pipe only by chance, 50% of the time.

Low Grade Fuel Repair when placed
A damaged Snow Machine can be repaired where it stands with a hammer. Repairing it from nothing to full costs:

×1 How to repair the Snow Machine
A full repair at a Repair Bench costs 26 × Metal Fragments, 7 × Low Grade Fuel and 1 × High Quality Metal, and no blueprint is needed.
×26 ×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.
What the Snow Machine recycles into
A green recycler always gives back 62 × Metal Fragments and 15 × Low Grade Fuel for one.
