## What is PlatePate?

PlatePate is a solar panel recycling facility management game where you guide each panel lot through intake, analysis, sorting, and material recovery. Choose how batches enter the facility, review their condition, and prepare them for the most suitable processing workflow.

Run active production lines, adjust throughput, monitor recovery progress, and manage recovered materials such as glass, silicon, aluminum, copper, silver, and polymer waste. Each technology has different recovery, speed, eco impact, and line wear characteristics.

Complete contracts with specific material requirements, improve your facility with practical upgrades, and tune custom recovery technologies to match your preferred operating style. Track eco rating, reputation, completed batches, inventory, and long-term progress through detailed statistics.

PlatePate supports a clean light interface, smooth animations, iPhone and iPad layouts, and both portrait and landscape play.
