⬇ Download on CurseForge




This is an addon mod to the TekTopia mod that adds a Recycler. The Recycler is a vendor that allow you to sell your unwanted structure and profession tokens for emeralds.
If you have the TekTopia Information mod installed, the Recycler will be visible in the Visitors section, and in the map.
The Recycler is only available during the day and will be summoned at the start of each day. If a Blacksmith is located in the village, the Trader will hang out there, otherwise they will hang out at the Merchant Stall.
The more villagers you have in your village, the less often the Recycler will appear. This can be configured in the settings.
The trades are restricted to the TekTopia
- structure types (Barracks, Blacksmith, Butcher, Chicken Coop, Cow Pen, Guard Post, Home2, Home4, Home6, Kitchen, Library, Merchant Stall, Mineshaft, Pig Pen, Sheep Pen, School, Storage and Tavern).
- profession types (Bard, Blacksmith, Chef, Cleric, Druid, Enchanter, Farmer, Guard, Lumberjack, Miner, Rancher and Teacher).
The tokens must be associated with your village to be recycled. If they they were purchased/taken at another village they cannot be recycled.
Note: if you have the Tektopia Tinker mod installed, you can convert tokens from other villages to your village, then recycle them.
The maximum number of emeralds you will get back is dependant on the current value of the token in the village. There is a maximum cap of 64 emeralds returned.
There is a config setting that allows you to set the percentage of the current value to be returned. This is set to 50% by default.
Included are the following commands
- Force spawn a recycler. Using the command will fail if one or more spawn conditions fail.
/recycler spawn <0|1> [me]
<0|1> this determine which recycler will appear - 0 = Structure tokens, 1 = Profession tokens
[me] this is optional and if included, the trader will spawn near the player, rather than at the village border.
- Kill a spawned recycler
/recycler kill
