Recycling

Recycling is the process of turning an entity back into Raw Materials. There are two steps to recycling: wrecking and recycling.

Wrecking

Wrecking is the process of damaging an entity so that it can be recycled at a later date.

Recycling

Recycling is where you break apart a wreck, destroying it to generate a number of Raw Materials.

In order to be able to recycle you must meet some requirements first.

• You must be in an entity that has the recycling capability, such as the Salvager Droid. Indicated by the icon:
• The recycling entity must be owned by a Recycling faction.
• Recycling faction must have sufficient credits to cover the recycling.
• Must be sufficient storage space if wanting to recover any Raw Materials.
