Ship

Recycler

The garbage collector of space: only the recycler can harvest debris fields and turn battle wreckage back into resources.

When ships or defenses are destroyed, a debris field with part of their metal and kryptonite is left behind. Recyclers collect this debris – send them to the debris field on the Recycle mission.

Each recycler carries 25,000 units, part of which goes to fuel. Work out how many you need before you launch: whatever doesn't fit stays behind – and can be picked up by others.

Tips

Recyclers accelerate very slowly – even short trips take their time. Launch them early enough so they arrive shortly after the battle.
Large debris fields attract other players: first come, first served.
You can recycle your own losses too: after a lost battle, this gets back part of the costs.
Recyclers cost Pig iron, so they take longer to build than their price suggests.

Background

The recycler is the intergalactic debris removal ship and is found everywhere battles were fought and planets spied. It is equipped with strong collecting claws and powerful sorting and shredder machinery. At return the raw materials can be used directly in factories for new products. This heavy ship is slow and sluggish.
