Every facility has 'Production Points' ranging from (0 to 375), shown in each facility window at the top right corner as material ratio, time ratio or efficiency increase. Production points determine the efficiency of the facility, the more production points the better its efficiency. Alpha islands (Safe islands) have a maximum of 50 points, Beta islands(PVP) have a maximum of 125 points and Gamma islands(PVP) 375. Note that facilities are not the only factor effecting efficiency. Calibration templates (CT)(Factory only) Relation ratio (Faction Standings) and extension points (EP) all add up your production points, that determines your agent's efficiency. You can find out the breakdown of all production points by hovering cursor at the top right corner of any facility window, where the production points are shown.

Another common feature of facilities is that they can utilize only raw materials and commodities that are located in your private storage, so you need to store all the requirements there.

The facility

Recycling plants are to be found on most bases. Here, you will have the opportunity to convert items back into their components (basic industrial commodities).

The process of recycling is simple: each item you currently own is listed on the left side of the recycling window. Select the items you want to recycle by clicking on the box next to it. After you select an item, the commodities you will get back appear on the right side of the window. Don’t be alarmed by the high wastage values –recycling, even in the future, is still a very difficult process! Damaged items can also be recycled at a lower efficiency than fully repaired items. Use the repair shop first to get the most out of your recycling, bare in mind there would be a higher (NIC) cost than just recycling damaged items, so use the repair shop wisely.

You can also choose select all as well as deselect all to make recycling an easier and faster process. After you have selected the items to dismantle, click on the recycle button to perform the action. Gained commodities will be transferred to your private storage instantly.

Facility ratios

Additional parameters that affect your total efficiency.

Relation ratio - Improve this factor by reaching a good relationship with the owner of the facility.

Material ratio – You can get more out of recycled materials with the Recycling and High Grade Recycling Extensions.
