Compost

Compost

Compost is a loose product generated by the processing of Food from a Farm or Sludge from a Wastewater Treatment machine.

Compost's primary usage is to boost the food production by increasing fertility: it serves as the ingredient for Fertilizer, and it can be dumped to create fertile soil that Farms can be built upon. Dumped Compost turns into Dirt.

Note that the loop

• Compost -> Fertilizer (Organic) -> Greenhouse -> Animal Feed -> Compost

can produce enough extra fertilizer for about 2.5 additional farms, assuming the crop is Wheat or Corn and that Dirt is added to the fertilizer recipe. This does cost significant extra water for irrigation, plus the workers and power to run the chain, plus the continuous consumption of Dirt. Corn has a higher output but also uses more water.
