Recycler

The Recycler is a general building featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.

Description[]

An engineering marvel that allows recycling of multiple items at once. Upgrade to increase productivity.

Details[]

The Recycler allows the player to recycle multiple items at once, over a period of time. Individual resource units count as separate items. Upgrades to this structure increase its item recycling capacity as well as aesthetic changes, though it will not affect speed.

All items can be recycled using the Recycler, including normally unrecyclable items (certain components, schematics and supply boxes), though there will be no items recovered in the latter case.

Specifications[]

Indoor and outdoor placement.
Cannot be scavenged from during raids.
Provides Moderate Cover
Occupies area of 2x3 squares bordered by walking area.

Notes[]

When recycling a Rare or Unique over level 15, the Infamous Components generated are not added to the Time to Recycle amount. Each Infamous Component takes 70 seconds to recycle, and will only be added to the timer after the recycling process starts.
If the recycling process takes less than five minutes, it can be sped up for free.
