Recycling nodes

The recycling category has only four nodes, all deep in the fleet branch – 17 to 24 steps from the centre. You have to work towards them deliberately, but in return they change recycling noticeably (Recycling).

Who benefits?

Fleeters who collect the debris after their own battles, and recycling players who clean up other people's battlefields. Alliances benefit too when one member can clear large debris fields quickly.

Tips

• With the longer waiting time you can send recyclers right behind an attack: if they aren't full, they stay at the target longer and also pick up debris created in the meantime.
• The return boost only applies when the recyclers aren't full – on small fields, for example. It switches on after a random waiting time once you save.
• With the ultimate neighbour node, your recyclers also collect debris at a neighbouring planet.
• The transport node turns the Small transport, Large transport and Transmitter into helper recyclers: part of their cargo capacity can take debris. It isn't an on/off node – you can upgrade it.
