What is Trash Cans?

3 parts

Same as in the All the Mods - Gravitas 4.0 guide

Trash Cans is a simple utility mod that gives you a way to get rid of things you don't want. It adds trash cans that can void items, fluids (liquids and gasses) and energy. This pack includes version 1.0.18 of the mod.[1][2]

The four trash cans

  • Item Trash Can: voids items, and you can set up item filters in its GUI.[1]
  • Fluid Trash Can: voids liquids and gasses, with fluid filters in its GUI.[1]
  • Energy Trash Can: voids energy, and you can set a transfer limit in its GUI.[1]
  • Ultimate Trash Can: handles items, fluids and energy in one block, with the same item and fluid filters and the same energy transfer limit.[1]

Items and fluids can be filtered with either a whitelist or a blacklist. That lets you void only the junk you pick, or everything except the things you want to keep.[1]

Who it's for

It's for anyone whose machines keep producing byproducts, whose tanks are overflowing, or whose energy network needs somewhere to dump surplus power. The mod has no cap on how much it can void or how fast, so a trash can won't become a bottleneck in your setup.[1]

Tip: Deleted something by accident? The mod lets you retrieve up to the last 6 deleted items.[1]
Watch out: Voiding Mekanism nuclear waste is disabled by default in the mod's config and has to be switched on there. Whether this pack changes that setting is unverified.[1]

Where it fits in the pack

The sources don't place Trash Cans at any particular stage of progression. No quests in this pack involve it, and it isn't on the ATM Star path. Treat it as an optional quality-of-life block that you can craft whenever you need it. The mod also has no in-jar guidebook.[1][2]

How does Trash Cans work?

5 parts

Same as in the Project Infinity 0.1 0.0.51.4-hotfix-2 guide

Trash Cans is a simple mod: you place a can, and whatever you push into it is gone. There are no multiblocks or processing steps. What matters is which can you pick, and what you set up in its screen.[1]

The cans

There is no cap on how much a can will void. Items, fluids and energy can be voided as much and as fast as you want, so you don't have to worry about a can filling up.[1]

Filters and limits

Items and fluids can be whitelisted or blacklisted. You set the filter inside the can's screen. With a blacklist you pick what gets destroyed, and with a whitelist you pick the list the can applies instead.[1]

Energy works differently: instead of a filter, you set an energy transfer limit in the GUI. The ultimate can combines both, with filters for items and fluids and a limit for energy.[1]

Retrieving deleted items

If you void something by accident, you can get it back from the trash can screen. The mod keeps up to the last 6 deleted items for this.[1]

In this pack, retrieveDeletedItems is set to true, so retrieval is switched on. The pack's value matches the mod's default.[5]

Voiding Mekanism nuclear waste

Radioactive fluids from Mekanism are protected by default. allowVoidingNuclearWaste is set to false in this pack, which is also the mod's default, so the cans won't void nuclear waste unless you change that option to true.[1][5]

Crafting

Each can has its own crafting recipe in this pack. These are the exact recipes the pack uses.[4]

How do you progress through Trash Cans?

2 parts

Same as in the All the Mods - Gravitas 4.0 guide

Trash cans in this pack aren't a ladder of ever-bigger upgrades. You get separate cans for items, fluids and energy, plus an Ultimate Trash Can that is crafted from those cans.[6]

The basic cans

The Item Trash Can, the Liquid Trash Can and the Energy Trash Can are the basic cans. The recipes below show exactly what the pack uses for each.[6]

The Energy Trash Can is a shaped crafting recipe as well.

The final step: Ultimate Trash Can

The Ultimate Trash Can is the top of the line. It is a shapeless recipe made from the item, liquid and energy cans, so craft those first. Nothing else is listed in the recipe.[6]

Crafting Shapeless

Recipe id: trashcans:ultimate_trash_can

Shapeless crafting: the order in the grid doesn't matter.

Tip: The Ultimate Trash Can recipe lists the item, liquid and energy cans, so you can make those as you need them and combine them into the Ultimate Trash Can later.[6]

Unverified The sources here do not show any quest for this mod, so there is no quest order to follow. If the pack's quest book mentions trash cans, that detail is not covered here.

Which Trash Cans config options matter?

Same as in the FTB StoneBlock 4 1.21.0 guide

Trash Cans keeps its config small. There are two options in the common config, and in this pack both are left at the mod's default values, so nothing has been changed from stock.[7]

  • retrieveDeletedItems is set to true in the pack, which is also the default. It lets you retrieve recently deleted items from the trash can screen, so you can recover something you voided by accident. The mod page says up to the last 6 deleted items can be retrieved.[1][7]
  • allowVoidingNuclearWaste is set to false in the pack, which is also the default. This controls whether radioactive fluids from Mekanism can be voided. The mod page notes you can enable it in the config file if you want to.[1][7]
Tip: If you accidentally delete something, open the trash can screen and check the retrieval list. Since the pack keeps retrieval enabled, you get a safety net for recent deletions.[1][7]
Watch out: Because nuclear waste voiding is off in this pack, you can't use a trash can to dispose of Mekanism radioactive fluids unless you change the config yourself.[1][7]
