Damaged Components
This article is timeless and should be accurate for any version of the game.

| — In-game description |
Damaged Components (also known as Broken Components, Bcomps, or Dcomps) are a raw resource specially designed to be refined into regular Components.
Production
| Structure | Input(s) | Output | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stationary Harvester (Components) (Excavator) | 6L x Petrol  |
9 x Damaged Components  |
00:00:12 |
Unlike regular Components, the production does not consume nodes in the field's reserve and will continuously run as long as the Stationary Harvester is fueled and the internal storage is not full.
Tier 2 Facilities must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structure 
Tech Tree in order to be produced.
Use
| Structure | Input(s) | Output | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metalworks Factory (Recycler) | 30 x Damaged Components 4 MW of power  |
20 x Components  |
00:01:30 |
Storage
Like other raw resources they stack up to 100 per slot in inventories and can be stored in Resource Containers and Resource Transfer Stations. They can be transported by Truck or Small Container Car.
They can't be packed into crates, unlike materials, and can not be stockpiled inside of a Storage Depots or Seaport. They can be stored in a Resource Transfer Station, though this method is counter-intuitive as it is more beneficial to refine them immediately.
Tips
- Since the Excavator upgrade doesn't deplete the Component Field's reserve (aka able to make them 24/7), it is highly recommended to switch to this recipe to maximize the harvesting process of Components
- This can be done once Tier 2 Facilities are unlocked, as the upgrade is able to be constructed
- Given their slow refinement, it is highly recommended to set up multiple Metalworks Factories with the Recycler upgrade to process them faster
- A single Diesel Power Plant with a Petrol Power Plant upgrade is able to supply power for three Recyclers
- Three Recyclers can produced up to 2,400 components per hour (three Stationary Harvesters have enough output to have six Recyclers running at max efficiency)
Trivia
- Damaged Components were introduced during the dev branch of Update 1.50 (also known as 'Inferno') in response to the community's concerns of components becoming extremely scarce and potentially causing internal conflict due many of the new materials required them
