All That Junk

About the Game

All That Junk is an automation/organization game where you should sort a huge pile of junk into containers. To your help you have conveyer belts and four machines that help you. The catch is that the machines are not great at sorting. The challenge is to combine the machines in a way so that you can sort it all.

• A magnet arm lifts steel.

• A screen's holes let through what is small enough.

• A shaker's kicks throw off what is light enough.

• An eddy current separator throws on what conducts electricity well for its weight.

Chain them with conveyors, lift belts and grapple cranes, and set each machine's lever by hand: the hole size, how hard it kicks, how fast the rotor spins. Copper and lead are too close in density for a shaker to tell apart, but lead conducts far worse, so an eddy separator can. Pieces can be hollow or solid in any material, so no line sorts perfectly and you can only sort 10 items wrong.
