Recycling 4.0

One man's trash is another man's treasure - provided you can find it in amongst all your rubbish. This Recycling mod will let your prisoners dig through the filthy garbage to sort out valuable bits and pieces from it.

Sorted Garbage goes straight to Exports and Green Garbage will be put in a Recycle Bin to end up as Super Compost for a Garden where your prisoners make food for the Kitchen and flowers for export.

This is an improved version of Recycling 3.0.

• Build a Garden (outdoor) or a GreenHouse (indoor). Pick a Quickbuild if you're lazy.
• Build a small Recycling Room with a few Recycle Desks.
• Put some Trash Bins around your prison to replace standard Bins.
• Put a Trash Compactor at the Garbage room.
• Hire some staff members for your new rooms.
• Start reform programs to learn prisoners how to work in the new rooms.

That's it!

• Garden
  Produces Cucumber, Tomato, Lily, Rose, Apple & Cherry for Exports,
  and Ingredients, Potatoes, Bacon and Eggs.
• Greenhouse
  Produces Cucumber, Tomato, Lily, Rose, Ingredients & Potatoes.
• Recycling
  Recycles the garbage in your prison and sorts out reusable stuff.

• Garden Control
  Place it in the centre of your garden or greenhouse.
  Set the Harvest Hour and range (3-29 square tiles) with its buttons.
  You can also connect a DoorTimer to specify several harvest hours per day.
• Garden Pot
  Place it around the Garden Control.
  Will need Compost, DDT and Fertilizer which gets spawned at the Garden Control or produced by Recycle Bins.
• Shed
  Produces Eggs and Bacon at specified times of the day.
  Set the Harvest Hour with its buttons.
  You can also connect a DoorTimer to specify several harvest hours per day.
• Cherry and Apple Tree
  Will blossom and grow fruit for exports.
• Recycle Desk
  Sorts out usable stuff from garbage.
  Use it's buttons to determine what it will spawn.
  Set spawn rate to specify after how many garbage bags it will spawn one of the selected items.
• Recycle Bin
  Collects Green Garbage from the Recycle Desk and turns it into Super Compost for the Garden.
• TrashBin
  Replaces normal Bins in your prison to collect Unsorted Trash.
  When filled, the trash goes to Recycling.
  DO NOT place too many TrashBins, follow the guideline mentioned below!
• TrashCompactor
  Stores up to 100 bags of sorted garbage and creates 1 stack of garbage to export.
  Place 1 at Garbage area or Recycling.

• Basic Garbage Recycling
  Learn prisoners how to sort out filthy stinking garbage bags.
• Plant Cultivation
  Learn prisoners to tend/harvest garden plants. A Garden Worker will guide them through this Outdoor reform in a Garden.
• Botany
  Learn prisoners to tend/harvest garden plants. A Greenhouse Worker will guide them through this Indoor reform in a Greenhouse.

Prisoners qualified for either Plant Cultivation or Botany will be able to work in both rooms, so it doesn't matter if you prefer indoor or outdoor reform programs.

• Garden Worker
  Does reform and jobs at the Garden.
• Greenhouse Worker
  Does reform and jobs at the Greenhouse.
• Recycling Worker
  Does reform and jobs at the Recycling room.

• Plant, Harvest, Tend, Water, Fertilize, Prune, Give DDT, Remove Plants. Most of these jobs are issued between 8am and 22pm, and some can continue through the night.

• Garden: create a Garden.
• Garden Production: harvest various products.
• Recycling: create a Recycling room.

Prisoners and staff operating the Recycle Desk will find a lot of stuff:

• rotten food gets collected in Green Garbage bags and goes to the Recycle Bins in a Garden or Greenhouse,
• not rotten enough? Then the cabbage goes back to the Kitchen,
• reusable pieces of SheetMetal: back to Workshop,
• pieces of Log and Wood (also -> Workshop),
• thrown away but still usable Library Books with pages missing and other pages sticking together, but who cares, so back to the Library with it,
• bent LicensePlates (who threw those away? they are worth money! just bend them back),
• smelly Dirty Prisoner Uniforms (somebody thought the washing machine is broken, but it ain't),
• used Food Trays with stinking pieces of rotten food still on them (fire the lazy cook who threw it away instead of washed it clean),
• ingredients (that cabbage should still be eatable),
• used Shop goods (oh yes, why not resell that filthy stained porn magazine),
• and Crumpled Prisoner Uniforms which will just need another ironing job before they can be worn again by a new inmate.

Oh, and by the way, did anybody mention the Contraband Heaven your prisoners are working in? Since anything could be thrown away, from rusty old needles to almost empty lighters, the rubbish turns quite valuable for those you don't want it to be. So you'd better put metal detectors and post some guard dogs around the Recycling room, or some volatile inmate might recycle a broken knife in one of your guards!

This mod includes a heavily modified version of the Garden mod from Elfylia. This garden will produce Cabbage and Potatoes for the Kitchen besides Cucumber, Lilies, Roses, Apples and Cherries for Exports. Having Elfylia's old mod active at the same time is NOT recommended.

• 1 TrashBin (10 bags) in a small Kitchen (or 20 in medium, 30 in large kitchen)
• 1 TrashBin in Recycling (10, 20 or 30 bags, depending on prison size)
• 1 TrashBin (10 bags) in any area where garbage is produced, like a Garden or Cemetery
• 1 Trash Compactor in either Recycling or Garbage area
• 2 Recycling Desks in the Recycling room
• 2 Recycle Tables in Recycling room
• 1 Recycle Bin per Garden or Greenhouse

This should be more than plenty to deal with the garbage in prisons up to 500 inmates.
If you place more TrashBins, then the garbage will be split over more objects, so it will take longer for each TrashBin to fill up and get recycled. TrashBins work like a buffer for your Recycling room.

Place as many default Bins from the game if you wish.
They are just eye-candy now and never collect Unsorted Trash.

Garbage area only needs to hold the Trash Compactor and some walking space for idle Janitors.
No other garbage is stored there, so it can be a small room.

• Unsorted Trash scans for doors and repositions.
• Rotatable Recycle Desk.
• Better RecycleDesk script now throws stuff neatly on stacks to prevent workmen swarming allover the place.
• Recycle Desk now also finds half rotten but still eatable Cabbage going back to Kitchen.
• Added Recycling Worker.
• Added Super Compost: reduces grow times and increases production x2.
• Improved Garden Control script.
• No more lag spikes during Garden Pot jobs spamming.
• Garden Control now has buttons for Weather events and Light.
• Ripe Garden Pots now spawn stacks of exportable stuff instead of single items.
• New Quickbuilds. (Garden quickbuild is not available in Anniversary 2018 edition)
• Added more bushes and plants.
