Truck Garbage Collector
A garbage compaction module for the modern truck.
Notes
The Truck Garbage Collector is a module attachment for the Modern Truck that allows it to compact and collect garbage blocks, integrating with the Update 14 garbage and recycling mechanics. Installing this module on a truck turns it into a mobile waste-collection vehicle, making it easier to transport garbage from dumpsites to sorting or recycling stations. A practical tip: if your town posts garbage-pickup bounties, this tool lets you haul large volumes of waste efficiently rather than carrying it by hand.
