Say goodbye to the days of grinding and salvaging piece by piece! The brilliant minds at EGS have introduced a science-powered solution to deconstructing ships and structures: EGS Recycle.
With this feature, you can recycle entire vessels and recover up to 90% of your materials—depending on your EGS Recycle Level—and even perform recycling from anywhere at higher upgrade tiers.

EGS Recycle Zones
To recycle a structure, you must be inside a Recycle Zone (unless your level allows global access).
Main Recycle Locations
- ECC Sector, above the ECC Planet — (Primary Recycle HQ)
Create Your Own Recycle Zone
You can create a personal Recycle Zone around a base structure via a Supporter Package.
Command:
do:recz:id
Replace id with your Base ID, found via:
- HWS Connect > Structure Commander
- or type
diin-game console
Notes:
- Recycle Zone size: 50x50x50 around your core
- Must be on a PvE playfield
- Shouldn’t overlap other zones (e.g., OCD Zone)
- Anyone can use your zone (not restricted to owner or faction)
- Recycle Zones are consumable and not permanent if the base is deleted
- You can stockpile and deploy multiple zones at any time
General Info & Mechanics
Items recovered go to:
- Devices → Your backpack, if space allows
- Blocks + Overflow devices → Your OCD, if there’s room
Great for cleaning up old ships and freeing class size
Encouraged for both PvE and PvP players
Prevent unnecessary ship clutter and improve server performance
