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,
Dry

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.

Next Compost Time

Items Loaded	Time (days)

6	0.56	1.12
4 - 5	0.68	1.36
2 - 3	0.8	1.6
Total (for 3 composts without reload)	2.04	4.08
