F.A.Q

Set Config.Language in shared/config.lua. See the locales/ folder.

1Config.Language = 'en'

Add an entry to Config.RecycleRecipes with the input item as the key:

1Config.RecycleRecipes['my_item'] = {
2    baseTime = 45,
3    outputs = {
4        { item = 'scrap_metal', min = 1, max = 3, chance = 100 },
5        { item = 'rare_part',   min = 1, max = 1, chance = 15 },
6    },
7    tierBonuses = {
8        [2] = { chanceBoost = 5,  quantityBoost = 1 },
9        [3] = { chanceBoost = 15, quantityBoost = 2 },
10    },
11}

The input item and every output item must exist in your inventory.

The recycler runs at tier 1 by default. Recipes can reward higher recycler tiers in two ways: an output with tierRequired = 2 only drops at tier 2 or above, and tierBonuses raise chance and quantity per tier. Raise the machine tier by setting tier = 2 (or 3) on Config.Recycler.

Yes. Tier bonuses change loot chance and quantity. The turbo motor upgrade changes processing speed. They apply independently.

With Config.Features.fuelSystem = true, a running machine burns Config.Fuel.perMinute units per minute. When the tank hits zero, processing pauses. Refuel with the one-shot items in Config.Fuel.items, or with reusable ml_fuel jerrycans, which are kept and only emptied. The solar panel upgrade regenerates fuel passively.

Set Config.Features.fuelSystem = false. The fuel bar is hidden and processing never needs fuel. Fixed stations with infiniteFuel = true always skip fuel as well.

Set Config.Fuel.mlFuel.enabled = true and list the fuel types you accept in acceptedFuelTypes. Any item carrying metadata.fuelAmount and metadata.fuelType is treated as a jerrycan. One liter becomes litersToUnits recycler units.

Each completed slot lowers durability by Config.Durability.degradePerProcess. Below the slowdown threshold the machine runs slower. Below the malfunction threshold it can jam. At the broken threshold it stops until repaired with an item from Config.RepairItems.

Set Config.Features.durabilitySystem = false.

Players install upgrades from inventory, up to Config.MaxUpgradesPerRecycler per machine. The item is consumed on install and returned on removal, and survives pickup and re-placement through item metadata. Four modules ship: turbo motor, extra tank, silencer kit, solar panel.

Yes. Add an upgrade to Config.Upgrades with effects = { slotBonus = N } and give it an item. The machine unlocks N extra slots, capped at Config.Recycler.maxSlots. The upgrade_slot_expansion label already exists in the locale files.

Not by default. Add a wear table to an upgrade definition to give it a durability curve that drains on use and auto-removes the module at zero.

With Config.ZombieNoise.enabled = true and the zombie resource running, a working machine attracts zombies within defaultRadius. The silencer kit upgrade shrinks that radius. The noise stops when processing stops.

1. Download latest from CFX Portal
2. Backup shared/config.lua and server/config_server.lua
3. Replace all files except config
4. Restart the resource

Recycler positions, slots, upgrades and durability live in the database and survive updates.
