First of all, thanks for the great idea and for getting the implementation started.
Perhaps the following ideas would be fairly easy to implement and could be included in a future update.
To start with, I think it might be worth considering having the recyclables and regular waste come out in a compacted form.
I took a look at the statistics for waste processing in Germany and think the breakdown could perhaps look like this:
15% Plastic
15% Biomass
30% Remains as regular waste
35% Recyclables
5% Sludge (possibly toxic)
That way, your mod would be even more meaningful and realistic.
Sorry for taking so long to read your message.
Thank you for the idea! For now, though, I’m not looking only at how waste processing works in Germany. I’m also looking at how it works in Ukraine, the US, and other countries. I’m trying to find a reasonable middle ground and build the system around that. I can see how waste is processed in Germany, but I think basing everything on just one country wouldn’t be quite right. Looking at three, four, five, or even eight different countries and finding some kind of average seems like a better approach to me.
As for the example you suggested — 15% / 15% / 30% / 35% / 5% — who knows? Maybe one day you’ll see something similar in the mod. But for now, I have a particular direction I want to follow.
I also have a lot of other ideas planned. As you may have seen from my latest messages, I’m currently dealing with some problems, so for now I’m writing all these ideas down in my notebook. Once I resolve the issue, I’ll continue working on them.
If you have any other ideas or interesting suggestions, I’ll always be happy to hear them!
