Average units from one clear. Resources leave scrap out.

Methodology

A clear opens every crate and barrel the monument spawns, once. Each one rolls its loot table as in game: every loot slot picks from its table, and some picks give several items.

The averages are tested in game: each container was opened 1,000 times and its contents counted. Containers with no tested table yet are left out of the clear and the averages. A monument with several layouts uses the layout its wiki page shows. Blueprints are not counted.

The recycled ranking puts every item through a powered monument recycler (60%) with the yields of the recycler calculator, then recycles what comes out again until only the eight materials in the table are left. Anything a recycler refuses, such as food, sulfur and blueprint fragments, is not counted.
