Cleaning trash piles

Compare pile contents, junk values, and upgrades without treating composition patterns as fixed map routes.

← Guides

Cleaning connects ordinary junk, special finds, money, and upgrades. Use the pile tables to compare possible contents and item weights; treat each pattern as a composition reference rather than a map location.

How it works

01

Collect and identify

Ordinary junk has a base value, while cards, tapes, and fragments follow their own collection rules.

02

Compare contents, not fixed routes

The 42 pile patterns show possible contents and relative weights, not guaranteed map locations for a particular run.

03

Use upgrades to remove friction

Capacity, reach, movement, magnet, and energy upgrades change the cleaning loop; compare their level tables before spending.
