Junk in, gold out
You start with $40, a phone and an empty unit. The supplier has a pallet of dead electronics for $25. There's gold in it somewhere.
Take the machines apart at the bench. Sort what comes out into the hoppers: boards, metal, gold and the dangerous stuff. Strip the boards, drop them in the acid, melt the mud in the furnace and pour a bar. Sell it to the refiner at today's gold price, or lock it in the vault and wait for a better day.
Don't melt everything
An old ceramic CPU, a vintage sound card, a console that still works. Melted, they're a few dollars of gold. Kept whole and cleaned up, they're worth a lot more.
Grow the yard
Nine kinds of pallet, from a house clearance to a data centre, plus bulk contracts and auctions. More than 60 upgrades: hoppers, a strip line, robot arms, a sorting crane, a bigger furnace. Buy the building, open the back room and start building machines from your own parts, all the way up to a warehouse robot.
A story with an ending
Name your company and it goes on the signs, the water tower and every bar you pour. The supplier keeps calling with work. An old shopkeeper's last pallet has something in it worth finding. Five chapters and about ten hours to the end, then 16 long goals in the Trade Book if you want to keep going.
There's a radio on the shelf with 19 songs on it.
