Ceramic Scrap

Byproducts: nearly every recipe now leaves waste behind, so recipe pages list byproducts alongside ingredients.
Garbage &amp; recycling: waste sorts from mixed garbage down to pure materials, and can be recycled back into stock.
Pollution has four kinds: acid rain, chemical, soil and heavy mineral, each settling into the ground differently. Pollution guide &rarr;
Modules reworked: upgrades are now Basic / Advanced / Modern / Specialty , one per slot, driving the same bonus system as talents. Module guide &rarr;
Fresh water: machines need it &mdash; water drawn from the ocean has to be desalinated first.

Notes

Ceramic Scrap is a recovered waste material produced as a byproduct of sorting mixed garbage, meaning it is one of the outputs you get when processing your town's trash through a sorting chain. Because it carries the Block and Crushed Rock tags, it can serve as a direct substitute for crushed rock or stone in several important recipes, including Asphalt Concrete and Reinforced Concrete, making it a valuable feedstock rather than just a liability. A practical tip: if your town is generating Ceramic Scrap, keep it on hand for construction projects, as it can replace a portion of your raw crushed stone demand in high-volume concrete and road recipes.
