... is also good in the max-rare stage where you can wash for uncommon scrap and rare recycling results.

B: Vulcanus. It has the second-best recipes: lava to molten copper and LDS / blue chip / rocket fuel. Not having enemies and being less resource constrained are also good.

C: Nauvis. It has ...

... a vanilla feature, it can’t be compared to the entire spoilage system or scrap recycling with its 10 complex byproducts. And that’s not even mentioning nutrient machines, egg/bacteria loops, small building spaces, disconnected power networks, many intermediates… Vulcanus doesn’t have anything even ...

... the output slot corresponding to the position of that product in the recycling recipe — and so the recycler has 12 output slots because the scrap recycling recipe has 12 products. I don’t recall whether it was in FFF or the forum, but someone from Wube said that this is an intentional design for ...

... This can result in getting both items, neither, or one—similar to scrap recycling or other random recipes.

While this works fine for high-volume production in vanilla Factorio (where only a few recipes use randomness, and statistical averages smooth out variances), it breaks down in modded ...

... mines too slowly for that.

Not infinite. Your holmium setup relies on scrap spots which have limited amount of material. Same with uranium and tungsten. Or maybe I overlooked something and your recycling loop can spew holmium without any holmium-related input?

Sure it's not infinite, but given ...

... my Fulgora base in a way that it uses 3000 logistics bots to manage scrap recycling and science production. However, when running the base my UPS/FPS drops to ~30 solely due to the logistics manager using 20ms of processing power. I have an i7 11400f Intel CPU so I am not sure why it's struggling ...

... Similarily some recipes may produce multiple items (for example a scrap-recycling) and in that case the outcome of the recipe is not known in advance and as such cannot be shown in the crafting queue.

Not a bug.

... That big island is taller than 600 meters, and if you don't have scrap recycling then you have to play dodge the lightning with an ocean that cuts your speed by 50-80% as you walk on it. You probably have a nice circle you ran that's at kilometer scale. Hard start can be a fun challenge, why I ...

... or balance issues with the current design. As long as you prioritize recycling the bus over scrap the bus flows effortlessly. The big thing I'm trying to accomplish is minimizing the footprint. Ideally being able to split off 3-4 items in the same space an assembly line would take up or less, And for ...

... It's not necessarily aimed at "legendary" at first, i'd be just scrap mining with quality, and recycling the scrap with quality module in the recycler, it's roughly similar in speed as if doing a non-beaconned base, so if you do it "early" game it doesn't feel "slower" than a regular Fulgora ...

Have you tried to mine quality scrap ?

I tried, but as far as I see this becomes feasible with quality mining drills and quality recyclers, and ... However, with lower quality modules the drills and the initial scrap recycling is just the 1st step of such a loop, while the modules in the machines ...

I'm saying all this because in a "real game", if ... depends on how many green/red/blue circuits are still available from scrap recycling.


Hahahaha ! parallel or next is a difficult question :D ...

... gigantic amount of holmium, so I need to check how much I can extend my scrap recycling facilities, since holmium is the bottleneck here. Current scrap recycling productivity is 14 (+140%). I tried an upcycling facility with 16 normal plants in map editor with great results, however they need ...

I think enough people miss the option of hand-recycling scrap that it would make sense to highlight it somehow.

Putting it in a tip/tutorial is the obvious way. Another way would be to rearrange the tech tree so that you need to hand-recycle some scrap as a trigger to unlock Recycler, but that would ...

... to Fulgoran Vault drop list to help bootstrap production.

What?
Recycling Scrap produces both Concrete and Processing units, and you need both to craft Recyclers. Neither can be found on the planet, causing a soft-lock.

Why?
You need just 20 and 6 respectively to get your first Recycler and ...
