As a first wipe player. I honestly never used more than 10 composters at once, that were mainly used for farming fert and enough scrap to get more pickles. Some scrap was definitely got.
But flying my mini with very basic skills became impossible on US survival on alot of the map.
Ive seen suggestions of limitations on composters, seems the best option but like other said, ppl will just go build another one somewhere to get around it. Shame.
Voted to break even, the rate already is sloooow
