# ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

#### *Burning • Incinerators • Farming • Tokens • Weather • Tools • Energy*

This FAQ covers burning requirements, farming mechanics, weather effects, tools, tokens, and the multi-token resource economy of **The CleanupCentr**.

***

## 🏁 **GENERAL QUESTIONS**

#### **What is The CleanupCentr?**

The CleanupCentr is a multi-token, utility-based resource economy built on the WAX blockchain.\
Players burn NFTs using **Incinerators** to generate CINDER, load energy using Simple Cores, and farm crops to earn TOMATOE.

***

#### **Is this financial advice?**

No.\
Nothing here is investment advice.\
All systems exist for gameplay, strategy, and community participation.

***

#### **Is everything final?**

No.\
Weather, advanced tools, crafting, blends, and expansions are **under development** and may change during balancing.

***

## 🔥 **BURNING / INCINERATOR QUESTIONS**

#### **Do I need an Incinerator to burn NFTs?**

✅ **YES.**\
An **Incinerator NFT** is required to perform any burn.

Burning requires:

* 🔥 Incinerator NFT (staked)
* 🗑️ TRASH (fuel)
* 🧩 A burnable NFT
* ⚡ CINDER output rules

No Incinerator → No burning → No CINDER.

***

#### **What does the Incinerator do?**

The Incinerator:

* Processes burns
* Converts NFTs into CINDER
* Consumes TRASH
* Stabilizes supply
* Enables entry into the energy economy

***

#### **Does the Incinerator break or wear out?**

No — Incinerators have **no durability**.

***

#### **Can I use multiple Incinerators?**

Yes.\
Stacking burns or preparing for future upgrades is allowed.

***

#### **Why is TRASH required for burning?**

TRASH acts as **fuel**, making burning:

* Cost-based
* Controlled
* Balanced
* Bot-resistant

***

## 🔥 **CINDER / ENERGY QUESTIONS**

#### **How do I earn CINDER?**

Burn eligible NFTs using your Incinerator and TRASH.\
The contract issues CINDER based on the NFT’s burn configuration.

***

#### **Can I farm without CINDER?**

❌ **No.**\
Every farming action requires CINDER energy.

***

#### **What is a Simple Core?**

A one-time-use NFT required to load CINDER into a Farm Cell.

#### Simple Cores:

* Inject CINDER
* Activate farming
* Control throughput
* Act as NFT sinks

***

## 🌱 **FARMING QUESTIONS**

#### **Do I need to own a Farm?**

No.\
You can farm on:

* The CleanupCentr **Starter Farm**
* Your own Farm
* Another player’s Farm

Simply stake your Plot(s).

***

#### **Do Plots get consumed?**

No — Plots are permanent.\
Only Seeds and Compost are consumed.

***

#### **What do I earn from farming?**

You earn **TOMATOE**, spent on utility items like Seeds, Compost, Tools, Packs, and blends.

***

#### **Is farming pay-to-win?**

No.\
All tools and plots are equal at launch.\
No wallet-based advantage exists.

***

#### **Does weather affect farming?**

Yes — weather affects:

* Cooldowns
* Energy cost
* Watering frequency
* TOMATOE boosts (5–15%)
* TOMATOE penalties (5–15%)

Weather is global, equal, and fair.

***

## 🌧️ **WEATHER QUESTIONS**

#### **Is weather final?**

No — the Weather System is under development and may change during testing.

***

#### **Does weather change yields?**

Yes — weather can apply TOMATOE boosts and penalties based on global conditions.

***

#### **Can players manipulate weather?**

No — weather is controlled by system cycles.

***

## 🧰 **TOOLS QUESTIONS**

#### **What tools do I need?**

Two tools:

* 🪣 **EcoSpout** → watering
* 🔪 **EcoScythe** → harvesting

***

#### **Are tools consumed?**

No — tools are permanent utility NFTs.

***

#### **Do tools have rarity?**

Not at launch.\
Future rarity will add depth (cooldowns, weather resistance) but **never yield multipliers**.

***

#### **Do tools use CINDER?**

Yes — every action consumes CINDER.

***

## 🍅 **TOMATOE QUESTIONS**

#### **What is TOMATOE used for?**

TOMATOE is the main ecosystem **sink token**, used for:

* Seeds
* Compost
* Tools
* Packs
* Crafting
* Blending

***

#### **Does TOMATOE inflate?**

TOMATOE is balanced by:

* Strong gameplay sinks
* Weather penalties
* Energy costs
* Simple Core usage
* Dynamic farming throughput

***

## 🗑️ **TRASH QUESTIONS**

#### **Is TRASH needed for farming?**

Indirectly — TRASH is required to burn NFTs, generating CINDER which powers farming.

***

#### **Is TRASH inflationary?**

No — TRASH supply is circulating and demand-driven.

***

#### **Why is TRASH paired with WAX/USDC?**

To keep burn costs stable and give the fuel token a predictable market.

***

## 📊 **MARKET BEHAVIOR QUESTIONS**

#### **What happens if CINDER becomes cheap?**

Farming increases → TOMATOE rises → market self-corrects.

***

#### **What happens if TRASH becomes expensive?**

Burning slows → CINDER supply tightens → price stabilizes.

***

#### **What happens if TOMATOE becomes too cheap?**

Seeds and Compost become cheaper → farming increases → TOMATOE normalizes.

***

#### **Are token prices controlled by the team?**

No — prices are **100% player-driven** and regulated by sinks and counter-sinks.

***

## 🔧 **DEVELOPMENT & FUTURE QUESTIONS**

#### **Will more NFTs be added?**

Yes — but only with strong sinks and balance.\
No inflationary spam.

***

#### **Will Incinerators get upgrades?**

Yes — future upgrade modules may include:

* Faster burn capacity
* Weather shielding
* Energy efficiency
* Enhanced throughput

Always balanced. Never pay-to-win.

***

#### **Will partner projects be supported?**

Yes — the system is built to support external ecosystems through modular resource loops.

***

#### **Will mechanics change?**

Some may — balancing and testing determine final tuning.

***

## 🛑 **SAFETY & CLARITY**

#### **Are farming rewards guaranteed?**

No — weather, energy, supply, and player activity all influence output.

***

#### **Can I lose money?**

Yes — all tokens fluctuate based on market conditions.

***

#### **Is this an investment platform?**

No — The CleanupCentr is a gameplay economy.

***

## 🎯 **Summary**

This FAQ clarifies:

* Burning requires an **Incinerator NFT**
* TRASH is burn fuel
* CINDER powers all actions
* Simple Cores load energy
* Farming requires Seeds, Compost, Tools, and Plots
* Weather affects both timing and TOMATOE yield
* Tools are equal at launch
* Tokens interact in a circular loop
* Markets self-balance naturally
* Systems evolve with development
