Recyclers
Switch recyclers on or off, make them faster, set safe-zone recycler times, and add extra recyclers to monuments like the Dome, Fishing Villages, Oil Rigs, Stables and the Cargo Ship.
01Where to find it
Open Server Settings > Modifiers and Multipliers and pick the Recyclers tab. The page reads the live values from your server every time you open it, and the Refresh button checks again.
If the bot isn't connected to your server, you'll see the last values Surge saw and the controls are locked until it reconnects.
02Recycler Functionality
One switch that turns every recycler on the map on or off. It's ON by default. Turning it off asks you to confirm first, because nobody on the server can use a recycler until you switch it back on.
03Processing time and start time
- Recycler processing time: how long a recycler takes for each round of items. Lower is faster. Pick anything from 0.1 to 10 seconds. The default is 5.
- Recycler start time: the warm-up delay before a recycler starts working after someone turns it on. Lower is faster. Pick anything from 0 to 60 seconds. The default is 5.
Type a value or tap one of the quick picks, then press Save. The card shows what's Current on the server, and after saving Surge makes sure the server took the new value.
04Safe Zone Recyclers
These only change recyclers in safe zones (Outpost and Bandit Camp). They sit on the Recyclers tab, just above Monument Recyclers.
- Safe zone recyclers starting time: the warm-up delay before a safe-zone recycler starts. Pick anything from 0 to 60 seconds. The default is 8.
- Safe zone recycler recycle time: how long a safe-zone recycler takes for each round of items. Pick anything from 0.1 to 60 seconds. The default is 8.
Save runs the matching command on your server and stores it in My Settings, so it comes back after every restart.
05Monument Recyclers
These add extra recyclers at monuments. Before you pick, the page asks your server which monuments it supports and which ones are already turned on. The ones already on show up under Enabled on your server and get an On tag in the list.
- Dome
- Large Fishing Village and Small Fishing Village
- Large Oil Rig and Small Oil Rig
- Stables (the Large Barn and the Ranch)
- Cargo Ship (both versions of the ship)
- 1Open the dropdown on Monument Recyclers and tick every monument you want. You can pick as many as you like.
- 2Press Enable and confirm.
- 3Restart or wipe your server so the new recyclers can spawn.
Disable Monument Recyclers works the same way and stops extra recyclers from spawning at the monuments you pick. Each monument is handled on its own, so if one fails the rest still go through, and you'll see a short result for each one.
Monument recyclers you enable or disable only change after your next server restart or wipe. The Cargo Ship is the exception: its recycler shows up on the next Cargo Ship that spawns.
06Force-spawn
Force-spawn Monument Recyclers puts recyclers at the monuments you pick right now, without a restart or wipe. It's a one-off, so it isn't saved to My Settings.
For the Cargo Ship, force-spawn only adds a recycler to the ship that's out right now. Future Cargo Ships won't have one unless you also enable Cargo Ship under Monument Recyclers.
07Good to know
- Everything on this page except force-spawns is saved to My Settings and applied again after every restart.
- If you disable a monument that was enabled before, My Settings swaps the old entry for the new one, so only the latest choice is kept.
- The bot needs to be connected to your server to change anything here.
