Yes and yes. Sorry for the shitpost. My sample size for the blue circuits was way too small. And a closer look at my longer loops shows that they did not all stop on lack of the same ingredient. I should know better than to post from memory - I'd like to blame it on tiredness if I may do so.

Re: [2.0.23] Recycler returns disproportionate amount of ingredients over a long time


Thanks for the report however I do not believe there is any bug here as I have not seen anyone show a deterministic issue with specific recycling recipes over long periods of test cycles. Random is random, and people interpret that in the short term as unbalanced.

My library uses exactly the same abbroach as deadlock says (including unregister when not in use) because I was also sorely missing it.

Thanks for the clarification (and Dave for posting the correction request). Being somewhat unexperienced with train related stuff I simply wasn't sure - given the doc - if the observed behavior is intentional and supported or mere coincidence.

Slightly more complicated if it's a building that's still needed otherwise (to make something else). It's also possible for a mod/scenario to catch the build event for the building you don't want and then destroy the building.

You're forgetting heat pipes and unfuled reactors as a heat-storage method. They are lossless but not directly measurable. Personally I've never seen a large scale design using this approach but I'm sure they must be out there.
