About
A Compost Bin is a composter with 63x slots for either Worms or Humus. A Farmer's Compost Bin is obtained from the Store bought Farmer's Pack.
Composting
Composters, when filled with Organic Material, will generate 1x Humus and possibly a Common Earthworm or rarely an Earthworm Python every 2 hours. The Purity of the Humus will be affected by Worm Purity and your Composter's Worm Efficiency. Each Common Earthworm will raise your Worm Efficiency by 4% and each Earthworm Python 16%. Composters have a 50 point fill capacity; the bar seen when opening a composter shows what percent that bar is filled. To fill your composter, select some Organic Material and right-click it onto your composter.
Worm and Humus Purity
Common Earthworms and Earthworm Pythons can have their Purity raised by allowing them to eat Any Plant with a higher Purity than their own. To do this place a Worm in a Container and place your pure Any Plants directly next to, above, or below the Worm. After a few hours the Worm will eat one of the Plants and take 10% of the difference between the Plant's Purity and the Worm's Purity. Additionally Common Earthworms found when Rummaging an Abandoned Bird's Nest will take on the Purity of the Tree it came from. Worms in turn pass their Purity to the Humus they produce in a Compost Bin based on the average Purity of ALL the Worms inside the Compost Bin and its Worm Efficiency. For this reason it is recommended you regularly check on your Compost Bin and remove any unwanted Worms that spawn as they will lower your average Purity. Humus is one of three components for Gardening Purity.
