  • Byproducts: nearly every recipe now leaves waste behind, so recipe pages list byproducts alongside ingredients.
  • Garbage & recycling: waste sorts from mixed garbage down to pure materials, and can be recycled back into stock.

Notes

The Composite Hardwood Bench is a placed furniture item that adds 4 housing value as Seating, contributing to a room's score and boosting residents' XP gain. As a Chair-type object, each additional bench placed in the same room offers only half the value of the previous one, so furnishing variety yields better returns. To function, it must be inside an enclosed room with at least 6 m³ of free volume. It is crafted at a Composite Lumber Bench, making it a mid-tier seating option for improving housing quality.
