... pollution level at all, and force player to use more advanced water treatment plant. But player has a chance to stuck with dirty water and no recycling. So yeah, higher pollution -> lower water throughput might be a best option. Water treatment plant must also be affected by this effect, but ...

Dissembling/Recycling it is?

TBH, if this had been OP's request, I'd have merged this topic with all the other sugegstions for recycling .

... Sadly Apart form crafting "Burrner" Items they have no other use. In conclusion there will always be a Item that's useless. Dissembling/Recycling it is? ;)

... the cargo wagon is six storage chests wired to the stop. Anything >0 and the stop enables, train takes stuff back to my build everything train for recycling. I very rarely have to worry about my personal robots running out to collect/fix anything.

I find it a little strange : All assembly machines are working perfectly ( no rejected goods) There are no left overs by the assembly machines. The drills do not produce any excavation material. The smelting machines do not produce any slag. No toxic wastes are produced by the refinery or the chemic...

There are 40ish suggestions turning around the recycling unused items in this topic. Good luck suggesting something new

destroying items this way should produce more pollution than if it were done properly in a grinder/incinerator

It can work, but when biter break your chest you would get waste explosion.

For this to work, you should be forbidden to destroy items in any other way. By weapon for example. No, it shouldn't be forbidden, but destroying items this way should produce more pollution than if it were done properly in a grinder/incinerator. That way, nobody would want to destroy items with we...

For this to work, you should be forbidden to destroy items in any other way. By weapon for example. To add a bit of fairness to this, you would need each recipe to give you some waste. So you should fight with it from the start. From the other side you would need pollution poison and pollution clean...

Yes, I really like this suggestion.

I'm sure it could be implemented as a mod, but having this in the vanilla base game would be great.

This suggestion is awsome and should be implemented!

All the items i have that is unusable in late game (pistol, smelters, poles, lights etc.) gives me OCD-problems when just stuffed in the wooden crates (wich is also junk). MakeItSo.

TLDR: New machines and items to close the life cycle of waste material. Description: I'm proposing several new machines and items they produce. Grinder (machine) - little or medium pollution, inputs all ingame items and grinds them into following materials Scrap (item) - Based on the composition of...

... point in game development. Replace the copper wires with wooden poles. That would be a better sink for wood compared to the usual "thermal recycling". To make it attractive, the electric train would need to be supperior to uranium fuel driven regular trains, i.e. similar acceleration ...

... I'd say RTG, but that requires something other than Uranium, like Plutonium. Perhaps an RTG could be made from Plutonium, which is a byproduct of recycling a used fuel cell? Not only does it force you to have to mine uranium, but it also forces you to set up a nuclear power plant! The old Nukular ...

... Really. Because Iron Chests are so cheap: they are 1/5th the cost of steel chests. So just throw them away when you're done and don't worry about recycling the raw material costs. For example, if you build a 4x double-sided wagon unloader (12x chests per wagon or 48x chests + 48 stack inserters), ...

... 1 bar of steel from each. Iron Chests cost 8 Iron Plates Steel Plates cost 5 Iron Plates Steel Chests cost 8 Steel Plates We loose 3 Iron Plates recycling Iron Chests to produce Steel Plates This ensures that using iron in this manner to get steel is not a "better way" to play or an ...

That's a good alternative. My thinking of recycling items would be that all items[1] could be recycled, and it would produce their immediate recipe though with each component halved rounded down, and all liquids lost. So, if you recycled a heat ...

... because you always need more trains. The new recipe costs 10 less iron than before, which is basically a rounding error. No biggie. Too many recycling recipes would be messy, but it might be fun to have a centrifuge recipe that crushes stone furnaces back into stone. Just because centrifuges ...
