One’s Trash Another’s Treasure

Game premise and core loop

One’s Trash Another’s Treasure is a first-person incremental game where you buy and process unclaimed cargo boxes. You start with 500,000 boxes purchased at an auction, which you need to grind down for profit. The primary activity involves manually carrying and feeding the boxes into a grinder that outputs money. As you progress, each payout allows you to improve your capabilities and automate tasks.

Automation and upgrades

You can unlock various tools to automate the grinding process, including vacuums, trash bags, fans, conveyors, and drones that collect boxes for you. This automation means you can build a setup that runs independently, allowing you to watch the volume of boxes decrease far more quickly than the manual method. What initially takes an hour can be done in seconds as you develop your system.
