... am not considering this to be a bug for 2 reasons: quality upcycling does not matter here since you cannot automate production of base items, and recycling to base ingredients does not make iron or copper unbalanced (does not introduce overpowered recipe that would make other means of obtaining ...

Very cool.

Does overall throughput suffer from an on-demand production system vs. constant full production and recycling the excess?


Yes it does. I'm not throughput-limited by Gleba so my focus is minimizing spores.


I never quite got the appeal of the fish nutrients though. If I ran the ...

... you can just dump it into the void of space, no need to ship it to Vulcanus , that does consume the barrel and is a waste of rocket compared to recycling them, or attempting to not be in a situation where that feel necessary, which would be my advice here, reading the amount of fluoroketone from a ...

I need something simple but balanced - just to "1:1" replace annoying recipes we use now (building, transporting and recycling biochambers) with something more realistic and fitting the game.

Since there is already a method to store eggs "fresh" indefinitely (by making and recycling Modules/Biochambers/Soil), with two chances of quality upgrade (once when making it, second when recycling), with effective ratio 4 => 1.5...

Why not just add "proper way" to get the same results (proper = do ...

Very cool.

Does overall throughput suffer from an on-demand production system vs. constant full production and recycling the excess?

I never quite got the appeal of the fish nutrients though. If I ran the numbers right, it results in at best a 30% drop in spores. Not insignificant, but also not ...

... of construction, the remaining items (including any excess deliveries and materials like wood and stone) are retrieved and returned to the mall's recycling station. This encompasses the entire process.



This in particular goes a little beyond what you can automate in factorio without mods , if you ...

... higher quality ingredients in a higher quality recipe and craft an even higher item. It's also possible to use quality modules in a recycler, so recycling also has a chance to get higher ingredients than the original item.

This can be done in a loop, called upcycling. Create item (chance for higher ...

I am new to the space age DLC and item quality seems a bit overwhelming. I've seen people use recycling recepies to achieve better item quality, but I don't get how that works. Also, is it feasible to craft items of higher quality without those recepies? I would appreciate if you guys could link some ...

I bootstrapped myself on fulgora twice, and this most recent time I found myself not knowing how to fuel the stone furnace to get bricks! I spent a whole minute not remembering you get solid fuel from recycling scrap!

It was fun, don't fix.

Productivity bonus does not apply to recycling in general. It only applies to recycling Scrap, the resource found on Fulgora.

For upcycling, there is no productivity boost to Recyclers (at least, as far as I'm aware), so you should be fine to just use one Recycler per tier (or one Recycler total ...

I am not seeing any bugs in this video. Recycler was given uncommon item to recycle, it started recycling it (recipe icon shows the uncommon item being recycled), item being recycled dissapeared from ingredient slot and so other item (including same item of different quality) was allowed to be ...

... be too late for your map, but that's a thing to consider.

Although both on the same big island, I have 2 separate factories with their own scrap recycling: one for science pack production and a small mall for often needed items such as (elevated) rails, and another one for item upcycling. Both ...

Kovarex enrichment is basically circular. Recycling to increase quality certainly is. But strictly speaking neither of these is necessary to finish the game, and anyhow neither of these breaks down ...

-What did you do?
Putting the blueprint book in the recycler pair that is directed towards each other (looped recycling).

All blueprints that are in the book fall out of the recycler and are placed on the tile.

... up the next time the item is recycled, the Quality of the Parts you get back Go up by 1.

If the Recipe is changed or the item the Recycler is Recycling is changed the Bar will reset so you can't do any shenanigans with upgrading Quality.

Ouch. It pains me to see people upcycle things by recycling them into themselves rather than craft-recycle loops.
