The Composting Bin is a Structure exclusive to Don't Starve Together and introduced in Return of Them. It is used to produce Compost.

The Composting Bin accepts items that fall under two categories:

Category Items
Wet All Foods, Rot Spoiled Fish Rotten Egg Ham Bat Garland Seawreath Fish Food
Dry Cut Grass Twigs Pine Cone Twiggy Tree Cone Birchnut Cut Reeds Log Boards Living Log Driftwood Piece Oar Driftwood Oar

After a period of time, the Compost Bin consumes two items and produces Compost. If possible, it consumes one item from each category, otherwise it consumes two from the same category.

The composting time depends on the current load of the compost bin: The more items, the quicker the composting is done. Composting time also depends on the ratio of wet and dry items. It is fastest when there is 50% of each category and slowest when there are only items of one category.

  • For Rot, turning it into Compost and then burning it makes it more efficient.
