Nests are virtual homes in Bin Weevils. Every user has a nest in which they can decorate and show off their interior designs. Players can obtain up to 8 nest rooms and decorate them with many thrones, trophies, portraits, shelves, gadgets, wallpapers, beds, sofas, floors, ceilings, lighting, flowers, appliances, photo frames among other item types. Every item a player purchases throughout the game is collected in the My Stuff Box.

Run by Gott, a member of the Rott family, Nestco is the main department store located inside the Shopping Mall. Its purpose is to showcase a large variety of nest items players can spend their hard earned Mulch and Dosh on to decorate their nest rooms with, including bundles, XP bottle potions and item ranges. To decorate nest rooms, you drag items out from your My Stuff Box and place them into the rooms accordingly. There are over 18 categories to help you locate every item you purchase in your My Stuff Box.

Plazas are virtual businesses located underneath your nest. Bin Tycoons can obtain up to four party rooms and a photo studio. They can decorate their plaza clubs with a variety of party items and customisations for players to visit. Photo studios can be decorated with props, cutouts, and decorations. Players can visit your clubs and take photos for their nests in your photo studio and buy them in several frames and sizes. In return, Bin Tycoons receive Mulch earnings at Cash Machines. They also earn Mulch for every picture snapped in their photo studio. The longer customers stay in plazas the more XP they earn. Plaza items can be obtained at the Party Shop outside Club Fling and Snappy's Photo Shop outside Rum's Airport.

Entrance[]

Every nest has a lobby with doors to each room, a pipe to a Bin garden, a portal to plazas, a home cinema, and other features. Using the three colour sliders in the top right corner, the entrance hall can be coloured in several options. Included in the entrance lobby is:

  • Nest rooms
  • Bin garden
  • Plaza Portal
  • Nest generator
  • Bin Cards
  • SWS Portal
  • Bin Bots Portal
  • Home Cinema
  • Nest Coolness rating

Plazas are virtual businesses located underneath your nest for Bin Tycoons. They can be accessed through the plaza portal. Decorate your nightclubs with party items and accessories for players to visit. From picking the most danceable soundtrack to decking out your club in top style, your goal is to make your plaza the #1 place to be! Decorate your nightclubs with dance floors, DJ booths, flashing neon lights, party tables, themed decorations and more. The more weevils that are hitting your dance floor, the more Mulch is hitting your bank account! Run a virtual photo studio and decorate it with props and decorations. Collect the coolest backdrops and props and create the hottest photo studio around! You can earn Mulch as a pro photographer while other weevils can buy and frame your snaps to decorate their own nest. Other users can snap pictures in different sizes and buy them for their nest rooms in several frames. In return, you will receive Mulch earnings for the amount of customers you attract at Cash Machines. Open online plazas can be entered through the Plaza Directory outside the Shopping Mall.

Bin Cards are a daily loyalty card feature. Every day you can stamp your Bin Card for various rewards in your nest hall. There are many incentives for your Bin Card that you can receive such as Mulch, Dosh, XP, discount vouchers, mystery garden seeds, and puzzle pieces. There are 16 Bin Cards and each come with a character and a new set of prizes. The puzzle pieces are used to complete set puzzles. When you complete each puzzle, you will earn exclusive in-game rewards for your nest rooms.

Bin Bots are collectible creatures for weevils to obtain and collect. Each Bin Bot has its own name, animation, personality, and unique design. A player can get them from the Claw Machine and mix daily potion bottle combinations to get them from the Bin Bot Maker, both machines are found at Lab's Lab outside Lab's Laboratory. After purchasing a mystery box the Claw Machine will randomly pick up a mystery Bin Bot box. The mystery box will slowly open revealing the microscopic Bin Bots earned and trivia about the critter. The Bin Bot is then sent to the Bin Bots Portal and can be placed in a special microscopic world with zoom-in features. Bin Tycoons can trade and swap microscopic Bin Bots to complete their collections with other players in the Bin Bots Portal. The Bin Bot Maker houses three stations for creating daily special combination potions. The Bin Bot Maker works by mixing combinations of potions together. Once a user has completed their potion combinations, they can pick a time to wait. The longer the wait, the more chance of obtaining a rare Bin Bot. Bin Tycoons have the benefit of creating more potions to make rarer Bin Bots. Bin Tycoons get more daily potions and can have two experiments on the go at once. They can use the Tycoon Bin Bot Maker with exclusive sets of potion bottles. After a potion is ready, the Bin Bot you have made will be revealed with trivia about it. The Bin Bot is then collected in the Bin Bots Portal.

The nest generator is a fuel system. You must purchase fuel every now and then or your nest will become darker. You can do this by using the nest generator located inside nest halls. When your fuel is low and your nest becomes darker, there are a few hats from Hem's Hats that glow in the dark, and items from Nestco. Place the solar panel garden items from the Garden Shop inside your garden to save Mulch and keep your nest eco-friendly.

The 2007-2009 nest hall was quite simple with a news board, SWS Portal, nest doors and the Bin Tycoon plaza portal. The news board consisted of of a title, underlined text that would take you to a website or to a location in-game and text that would describe what the news was about. There was also two major features which were the Scoreboard (King of the Bin leaderboard) and the Star Challenge where you could complete various challenges and gain stars for your weevil profile.

Rooms[]

Each nest can have up to eight rooms. The nest rooms cost about 3000-9000 Mulch each. Bin Tycoons can expand their nests at Rigg's Property Shop inside the Shopping Mall, alongside purchasing a plaza unit for their virtual businesses.

The more nest rooms, the the more XP is given when weevils rate. Players can invite weevils to their nest via the nest invite feature. This adds a set of weevils to your guest list. The nest rating feature allows invited weevils to rate each of your nest rooms out of 1-5 stars. When a player rates your room, this increases your Nest Coolness and grants you XP. You will earn 5-20 XP when weevils rate your nest rooms. If you invite a set of weevils, you can earn about 1000 XP per day. Having more nest rooms increases your Nest Coolness daily. Each room can be coloured using sliders in the top-right corner. Rooms can be filled with furniture of various types, including:

  • Kitchen
  • Bathroom
  • Lounge
  • Bedroom
  • Seating
  • Tables
  • Storage
  • Bin Pet stuff
  • Toys
  • Lighting
  • Shelving
  • Plants
  • Flooring

  • Gadgets
  • Other stuff

To re-arrange a room, open the My Stuff Box (located in the bottom left corner) and drag the furniture into the desired position in the room, to put an item away, drag it to the selection bar or chest. To help with decorating the My Stuff Box has 18 different item categories and a latest category for your newest purchased items.

Nest rating & blue camera[]

Nest Coolness is the house rating system in Bin Weevils. The more weevils you invite to your nest, the higher Nest Coolness and XP you will receive. There are eleven stages of Nest Coolness and each stage requires a rigorous nest rating. Nest Coolness changes at the end of each day if you redecorate. It'll also go up if you get good nest ratings from your guests. Items can increase your Nest Coolness, with some items granting more Nest Coolness daily than others, especially more deluxe and expensive items. Every item in the game's database rewards a certain amount of Nest Coolness when items are placed in your nest room accordingly. Displaying XP potion bottles in your nest rooms can also widely increase your Nest Coolness. Expanding your nest rooms increases your Nest Coolness and XP from guest ratings. The more rooms you have unlocked and decorated, the more Nest Coolness you will earn.

The eleven stages of Nest Coolness are:

  • Just Moved In
  • Nest Newbie
  • Not Too Shabby
  • Pleasant Pad
  • Cool Crib
  • Getting Glitzy
  • Diamond Decor
  • Blingin'
  • Superstar
  • Celebrity
  • A-List

If a player receives enough Nest Coolness ratings, they may submit their nest deigns to the Nest Inspector, who will reward the nest with a bronze, silver or gold nest trophy, depending on the quality. When a buddy has been rewarded a trophy, you will be alerted on buddy news. Once your nest is ready for inspection, you will receive a Blue Nest Inspector Camera in your nest hall near your Nest Coolness. You can use this camera to take pictures of your nest rooms. Players can decorate rewarded nest trophies in their nest rooms. The minimum Nest Coolness score for gaining the Nest Inspector's Blue Camera is 37000 (Superstar).

Best Nest is an official in-game nest interior magazine published by the Bin's decorating expert, the Nest Inspector. There are over 400 issues published. Every week the Nest Inspector features his favourite nest rooms submitted by Bin Tycoons through his Blue Camera. To be featured in Best Nest a Bin Tycoon must have high Nest Coolness ratings and every room unlocked. Each weevil featured in Best Nest earns a Best Nest Plaque award for their nest rooms.

''Sophisticated, simple, easy. Nestco is here to make your online shopping experience as smooth as you want. Whatever you need, at the click of a mouse.''

Introduced in 2012 and run by Gott, Nestco is the main department store in Bin Weevils located inside the Shopping Mall. Its purpose is to showcase a variety of items that you can spend your hard earned Mulch and Dosh on. Nestco is a parody of the British supermarket Tesco.

Ran by Kip, a member of the Kip family, Bin Mart was formally a large department store located inside the Shopping Mall. Bin Mart was a parody of the American supermarket Walmart. Every item purchased at Bin Mart rewarded players with a certain amount of XP and Nest Coolness. Bin Mart's stock was mostly discounted items compared to its counterpart, Nestco next door. There were over 18 item categories, such as featured, wallpapers, flooring, lighting, tables, plants, kitchen, bathroom, pets, gadgets, etc. Grouping related items together via tags (laboratory, safari, enchanted, medieval, fairytale, gadgets, pets, other stuff, etc) was possible. Each item had a certain delivery time and some items had limited stock. Every item required a minimum level before purchase. The Nest Inspector's favourite nest items were labeled via a blue seal icon. Bin Mart was discontinued in 2014 and merged together with Nestco to provide a wider shopping experience.
