... this one does interact with Gleba more severely since everything can spoil there, but the mixed-quality jamming itself isn't Gleba-exclusive).

... way to get rid of potentially unusable items. It is having to pay a tiny bit of mental attention tax to the "clean up" operation.

For example, recycling doesn't 100% get rid of everything. If I have six of a certain quality level and put them in a recycler, I get one back and an unprocessed second ...

The idea is to make better quality priority inserter logic using quality transfer by holding the belt.
Appeared when used in the scrap recycling on fulgora and suddenly the processing stopped because only non-base quality items were on the belt.

... That's funny to imagine someone getting thru the trouble of making quality ALL the way from the mining drill to the armor mk2 instead of just a recycling loop for that one product if that's the only one they want and someone told them about recycling loop, and then deciding they prefer to stop ...

2.1 breaks some factories.


It breaks small parts of some factories. Specifically, hazard concrete recycling, asteroid cycler platforms, and certain cases of assembler recipe controls. These are non-trivial changes, which is why they waited until a point release.

But the level of changes we're ...

... Age as a whole has a lot more cases where YOLO just ain't gonna cut it. You can kinda slop a platform together and get to another planet. But recycling on Fulgora and especially spoilage on Gleba do not lend themselves to victory by beating your head against the problem until it goes away. You ...

Recycling wood poles has questionable utility. Sure, wood can be recrafted into other items or processed for seeds, but to what end? More wood chests ...

The cost is just too high, and you can easily realize, that ...

... fuel and generating heat locally is really the only scalable way to manage it IMO.

Once you get legendary quality speed and productivity modules, the problem with ice inverts. I had to switch from recycling extra ice to transporting it back to the main island so the science factories had enough!

... chains works mostly as a skimming operation. If you are locked into upcycling approaches, you get bad results because you have to use self-recycling recipes.

Some inclusions seem puzzling. Crafting speed isn't a strong stat to boost in the "beginning" or "early/middle game".
It's still a ...

... Quality, specifically on Fulgora, gets out of hand quickly." (paraphrasing the OP)


You might have forgotten, or haven't checked in-game, but recycling scrap isn't limited to Fulgora. Meaning, if someone decided to export scrap off-world to be processed on a non-Fulgora world, they could.

... be multiplied by 1.25 and clamped to between 0% and 100%
This approach would allow simpler computing but also increasing freshness via crafting/recycling, whether that's good or bad is up for debate.

Freshness is split into 2 variables.
Buffer: Worth 20% of freshness time ...

... 2/ Some items have ambiguous recipes (some items can be crafted by multiple recipes [LDS], some items are produced by a common recipe [scrap recycling])

Because of that i am against this suggestion because it would add a "sometimes works" feature. Given how much of "sometimes works" blueprint ...

... mechanism, unless a new inventory is added to dump junk onto the platform, the entire mechanism must be rewritten. Furthermore, the current recycling bin is exactly the size of a rocket, making it impossible to cram items with different destinations into it.

My idea is simple: your goal is ...
