I guess you played with the space exploration using AAI signal transmisssion :) Have you tried to automate the collection & recycling of old rocket parts ? Fuel ? Ice ? The mod itself creates a setup that justify the use of heave contraption :). It makes particularly visible the desirability ...

... and cancelled the rest. The immediate result was that I now have efficiency modules I don't plan on ever using and can't recycle (not running any recycling mods), and had to go back to get more circuits and advanced circuits to make production modules. I have red-green color blindness, deuteranopia ...

... with mods like bob's, angel's or pyanodon's (they are more or less impossible to play comfortably without either TSM or LTN) where byproduct recycling is critical. Not prioritizing byproducts can result in increased resource voiding or even deadlocks/blackouts. Currently the only way to prioritize ...

... No inserter input has been stopped, it is only robot deliveries that would be affected. As many of us have said, this scenario is mostly used for recycling use cases. True production would use a requester chest so production elsewhere is immediately brought to the chest. Storage chest only gets ...

Also I guess its after all those years balanced-like what amounts of ores etc. on which settings appear - and if u add recycling, wouldn't that need an overhaul of all ressource-patch-ratio's since suddenly you can re-use some percentage of the raw-ressources? I dare say that this ...

I'm well aware of the fact that the ideas around recycling and incinerating stuff are included in mods. My hope is that the devs would re-consider adding this to the main game, if enough players (or forum members...) find these interesting / useful ...

... getting it back later on. So a small amount lost every "day" would suit this concept. I'm well aware of the fact that the ideas around recycling and incinerating stuff are included in mods. My hope is that the devs would re-consider adding this to the main game, if enough players (or ...

I'll have a look thanks

There are so many such suggestions I don't have the courage to list them all. Help yourself.

But I'm sure you'll find the perfect mod for you here

There are a lot of mods which allow recycling. Check out those if you like.

Hi, i have an idea for recycling unused items, is make it so you could put the item back into furnace which could then out put the materials you used to make it, not sure if it would go straight back to raw materials, or just take it ...

... killing some nests! Apart from that obvious solution, i am of the opinion, that Factorio indeed needs some "real" waste management and recycling gameplay. There should be way more byproducts and waste management should be one of the logistic problems to solve. There should be things, ...

... adding more acid-catalysed drilling (Copper), introducing probabilistic assembly (prematurely broken circuits, modules, ammo, gears) and waste recycling (smelting those for semi-random results) similar to centrifuge Uranium production and used Nuclear cell recycling, etc etc There are some ...

... prefer something like needing 1sulfur+1plastic+ (fuel) to make some sort of burnable caseless flamethrower ammo... (Yes, I know there are barrel recycling mods).

I like the idea of items being disassembled back into their base-parts. An electric pole is turned back into copper wires and wood, copper wires could be placed into furnaces and turned back into plates.

I think converting unwanted items to landfill seems a simple and reasonable thing to do. A related question ... should any of these by-products be toxic to the player? I have long thought that standing next to a uranium processor should start to damage the health of the player and perhaps carrying t...

Please, consider and implement a not complicated chain of disposal of unnecessary items. Or the incinerator, once studied the technology or a small automatic / processing plant, which produced a certain percentage of resources expended (for example, from a stone furnace or a manipulator).
