| — In-game description |
The Salvage Mine is a World Resource Mine that automatically produces Salvage when given fuel (either Diesel or Petrol).
Interactions
The Salvage Mine can be interacted either by hand, in a Truck, or by placing a Resource Container on the invisible loading pad in the front. You can press E or Shift + E to open the interface, while the only way to interact with the invisible loading pad via a Crane.
Construction
All Salvage Mines start off destroyed when a new war starts, and can be rebuilt using a Construction Vehicle and Basic Materials. Unlike some world structures, it does not require tech to be reconstructed, meaning it can be quickly rebuilt after a region was captured from the enemy faction.
Salvage Production
| Input(s) | Output(s) | Time (hh:mm:ss) |
|---|---|---|
1L x Diesel  |
9 x Salvage  |
00:00:08 |
1L x Petrol  |
27-34 x Salvage |
00:00:08 |
All World Resource Mines can hold up to 1,000 liters of each type of fuel (10 cans of Diesel and 20 cans of Petrol) and can be refuelled like a vehicle. A full tank will run the mine for 2 hours and 13 minutes.
A Salvage Mine fueled with Diesel will fill its stockpile in 1h14m and consume 556L of Diesel. One fueled with Petrol will fill its stockpile in about 22m and consume about 164L of Petrol.
Resource Collection
Salvage produced in the Salvage Mine can be retrieved either by hand, in a Truck, or from a Resource Container.
Unlike other world structures that have a visible loading area (such as a Refinery), there's an invisible loading area in front of the Salvage Mine that allows players to place Resource Containers and directly transfer resources into it. In order to use it, aim the crane's arm containing the container towards the front of the Mine until the icon under the Container has a gear symbol.
NOTE: If you exit out of the structure's menu, especially if the crane used to placed the Resource Container is outside of the Resource Mine's interaction area, you are unable to re-enter the menu. This requires the player to get out of the Crane, and manually repackage the Container. Be mindful of this so that you do not inconvenience yourself.
Tips
- Every time you collect resources from the Resource Mine, you should refuel it in order to get the most resources out of it
- You can check how much fuel and resources is in a Salvage Mine from the map by hovering your mouse cursor over the Salvage Mine's icon
- It does not show contents in Enemy or Neutral Territory
- Out of all the World Resource Mines, the Salvage Mine is the fastest
- While Salvage is pretty abundant compared to other resources, if there is a steady source of Petrol nearby (i.e. an Oil Field producing Public Petrol in the region), it is worth using that to fuel it
Trivia
- All World Resource Mines used to produce much faster prior to Update 1.50 (officially known as 'Inferno'), with the Salvage Mine used to having its tick speed being every second
- they now produce resources at a slower rate, but this was compensated with Facilities being introduced, which made Petrol much easier to obtain
