Quick Answer
Put your finished cans into the tube to sell them. You can carry cans individually, collect them with a basket, or improve delivery with conveyors. Throwing a creature's body into the transport tube unlocks Not a Can.
How do you sell cans through the tube?
You sell finished cans by delivering them into the tube after processing.
Collect your finished cans
Carry your cans one at a time while you still handle delivery manually. Processing produces cans, but those cans still need to reach the tube for sale.
Deliver the cans into the tube
Take your finished cans to the tube and put them in. This completes the selling step of your factory's production chain.
The tube is the large blue opening with a glowing ring. The on-screen prompts show E to drop, Q to rotate, and a mouse button to throw.
How do you use the basket and conveyors?
Put your basket at the end of a conveyor so finished cans fall into it.
That gives you a collection point instead of carrying every can individually from the conveyor. The basket collects cans; your finished cans still need to go into the tube for sale.
If processed cans are waiting for delivery, complete missing conveyor sections or improve your manual delivery. Conveyor sections become more useful when carrying cans takes too much of your shift.
For the surrounding production chain, use the Can 'Em All factory guide.
What happens if you throw a body into the transport tube?
You unlock Not a Can by throwing a creature's body into the transport tube instead of a can.
Throwing yourself into the transport tube unlocks Special Delivery and ends your current day. Use finished cans when you want to keep selling.
