The case against this is kind of made by quality and recycling. Heck, even bringing back the pickaxe (but please without durability) could be an option!

I'll concede to you on belt immunity and night vision, though. Other than reduced power draw I don't know what those would get with quality.

... of whether you want stacks or not coming from a building. Also unless I missed something I'm not sure Ore has quality. It's been stated that recycling plates gives a chance back to get higher quality plates, not higher quality ore but also the chance that the plate disappears Maybe you can ...

Anyway even if the recycler would not become a thing (where we need the cap to prevent a positive-feedback loop from recycling)... ... it would still be ridiculous to have unlimited productivity in the vanilla-expansion. At least I would find it extremely questionable ...

... upgrades later, like with modules). Therefore the proposed random-generation-approach which requires lots of infrastructure for filtering and recycling and even a new building and new modules (-> new building required anyways) seems to me like a good way to bloat up a simple task for no other ...

... research level 10 the recycler would return only 12.5% of ingredients (25% base)). You mean when I research productivity I get punished with lower recycling yields? I don't think that makes any sense. Having the recycler use a negative productivity kind of makes sense. If you recycle an existing ...

There’s plenty of recycling mods already for 1.1, just use one of those? I already do, it'll just be nice to have a vanilla recycling machine. It's a big component as to why I say I'm not begging, though some ABSOLUTE IDIOTS don't ...

... water-tiles or some stupid solution. While that's about how it's done in real life ( :lol: ), in game we do specifically have a vanilla recipe for recycling them: Nuclear fuel recycling.jpg

... boxes in the creative mode. It should do exactly the same, just by means of a nice factory-style machine. So, although also a nice concept : the recycling them, I'm mainly targeting the ' just-get-rid-of-stuff'' system. And what to think of all the nuclear waste. IMHO I do run a quite large reactor ...

well, thanks for your kind reply. No, It's not the deconstruction function of the bots (I'm well aware of that btw) You can call it recycling, by all means, but disassembling function I could imagine is for example: first you build a low density structure, requiring well copper plates, ...

You can call it recycling, by all means, but disassembling function I could imagine is for example: first you build a low density structure, requiring well copper plates, plastic, and iron, in a certain amount per item. Disassembling ...

... the production cycle as they can be used to produce higher tier items (or, especially in the case of the two I mentioned, research). Otherwise, recycling is a thing that's been asked for before, and there do exist mods for it. The only potential issue with allowing recycling in the base game ...

What about recycling biter corpses to make fertilizer?
