About

A Compost Bin icon.png Compost Bin is a composter with 35‬x slots for either Worms or Humus.

Composting

Composters, when filled with Organic Material, will generate 1x Humus icon.png Humus and possibly a Common Earthworm icon.png Common Earthworm or rarely an Earthworm Python icon.png 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 Earthworm icon.png Common Earthworms and Earthworm Python icon.png Earthworm Pythons can have their Purity raised by allowing them to eat Any Plant icon.png 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 icon.png Abandoned Bird's Nest will take on the Purity of the Tree icon.png Tree it came from. Worms in turn pass their Purity to the Humus icon.png Humus they produce in a Compost Bin icon.png 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.
