Residual Waste Sorter
A specialized machine that separates mixed residuals into compost, garbage and concentrated pollutants for disposal or decontamination.
Notes
The Residual Waste Sorter is an industrial machine that processes mixed residuals into compost, garbage, and concentrated pollutants for safe disposal or decontamination. It is a placed object with an 18x4x7 footprint and requires a Tier 3 enclosed room with at least 500 m³ of free volume. Because it demands high-tier building materials, prioritize upgrading your workshop's room quality before building this sorter to ensure it functions within the recycling chain.
