Salvage

Overview

Salvage recipes define how existing items are broken down into raw materials at the Salvage Bench. They use the same base recipe schema as crafting recipes but always have exactly one input item, multiple outputs, and a BenchRequirement pointing to the "Salvagebench" processing bench. The PrimaryOutput field identifies the most valuable recovered material shown in the UI.

File Location

Assets/Server/Item/Recipes/Salvage/

One JSON file per salvageable item, named Salvage_<ItemId>.json, e.g. Salvage_Armor_Adamantite_Chest.json.
