Rust: High-quality metal - how to get the material

High-quality metal lives up to its name, because it is especially important to advance in Rust. At the same time, the material is not available in rough quantities. Read how to get it.

Progress: High-quality metal allows you new building opportunities.

High-quality metal is a prerequisite for solar panels, batteries and all other electrical items. You should therefore start collecting the material early.

Rust: High-grade metal available from two sources

Basically, there are two ways to get high-grade metal:

• If you mine ore nuggets, you will get high-grade metal ores in the final strike. You can melt them down in the furnace and get the metal as the final product. The conversion ratio is 1:1.
• Reuse is worthwhile in Rust: from many items you get high-quality metal by recycling, and always when the item was constructed with high-quality metal according to the blueprint.

The good thing is that both methods are easily possible in Rust. Recyclable items can be found regularly, such as through barrels and boxes, while metal ores are spread all over the map.
