* Cryo Gel / Salvage deposit popovers are simpler: fewer preset buttons, withdraw tucked behind a link, and the popover closes itself after a deposit.

| [[The Recovery Bay]]
|
* Fuel is Salvage. It draws from the same shared Salvage pool your other bays use, so a busy Recovery Bay is one more reason to keep the Refinery running.
* Over-clock: aggressive. Bigger, more frequent cuts, but it runs much hotter and burns much more Salvage.

|
* Withdrawing mint fuel no longer lets your Salvage go over the 25M cap.

|
* Charge builds gradually as salvage is actually burned by the bay. Simply depositing salvage right before pressing Work no longer gives instant benefit.
* The bar shows how much “Charge” the bay has built toward the cap (full charge now requires burning 300 salvage).

|
* The Refinery now burns much more BC to produce Salvage. Salvage rates were retuned so salvage/min feels consistent, and Salvage values are now shown as whole numbers (no trailing decimals).
* Quest and leaderboard Salvage rewards were rescaled upward. Players have been back-paid the difference for quest milestones already earned so your quest progress/rewards reflect the new scale.

|
'''TL;DR'''
* Salvage is the new relay-only material. It funds research, bay upgrades, and new module crafting. Leftovers can be used as Mint fuel for a bonus.
'''The Mint, in plain terms'''
* Fueling the Mint with Salvage adds roughly a 30% BC bonus on top of baseline.
'''Salvage'''
* Salvage is the material the relay system runs on. It is not a market item and it does not live in your inventory. It has its own balance, shown on the Relay Network page and on a new Relay Network section of your Inventory page.
* Salvage funds, in priority order:
# The research tree (account-wide upgrades)
# Bay upgrades (per-bay upgrades)
# New module crafting
# Mint fuel (overflow use, optional bonus BC)
* You can earn Salvage four ways: the Refinery, daily and weekly Refined leaderboards, the new Relay Network Launch quest season, and a small passive trickle from specialized explore and mine pets (see below).
'''The Relay Network Launch season'''
* Salvage drops directly from quest rewards at every level 100, scaling from 5 up to 50 per claim.
