Recyclotron

Overview

The Recyclotron is a buildable Seabase Module that can break apart most inserted items into their crafting components. To use it, objects are placed into it in a similar manner to a storage device. Once the "Recycle" button is pressed, the player can retrieve the broken-down materials.

The Recyclotron recycles items according to their recipes. For example, recycling a Flashlight will yield one Glass and one Battery.

Key Features

• Function: Recycles items into their constituent parts without needing to rinse or sort them into bins first.
• Acquisition: Blueprint is acquired by scanning 4 Architect Artifacts.
• Builder: Crafted with the Habitat Builder.
