Core game mechanics finally polished

Side Effect · published 8 Mar 2021, 14:55 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

There was a long time question of how you as a player will be able to get rid of all that garbage laying around to make progress in the game. This core mechanics now gives you ability to pick any garbage object from the ground and manipulate with it. Recycler will also become handy.

But how does it work exactly?


First of all you need to find garbage and spawn a recycler near it. Then by holding the left mouse button (LMB for short) will you be able to pick up the garbage. After that pressing right mouse button will throw garbage forward. Garbage will fly in direction you're facing so make sure you aim at the recycler's catcher so that it can catch it.

What is Recycler?


Recycler is a key machine to successful garbage recycling in the game and it also keeps track of how many garbage pieces have you recycled already.

Recycler has a big circle on top of it called "The Garbage Catcher". Whatever garbage touches this circle will be recycled and counted. This means you can throw garbage from far away towards the catcher and hope it hits it. Less courageous players can walk up to it while holding garbage and still get recycling done!
