| - | In the shop you will find, next to the packing station and some machinery, a poster showing you the logic that you need to follow in order to put an offcut on the rack. After following the algorithm you will be able to discern if the offcut meets the criteria, however, you can choose to dispose your offcuts directly into the bin (you can’t throw pieces that are already on the rack though unless they don’t meet the criteria to be there). | + | |
