Rate Calculator makes it easier to find Intermediate shortages and calculate Ratios
Recycling in Factoriopedia adds Signals to "Recycle" each item - very handy for creating a Quality Recycler Combinator mechanism.

The use case would be to try to do "quality at every step", unlike the setup we posted which are recycling loops of end products, i usually use robots and "trash unrequested" or active prodvider to deal with the intermediates and different quality ...

... wherever you want, then use a classic autofactory that's doing the same as it does for normal components: load ingredients and craft. No recycling.

How I build these omni upcycling factories in general:

dedicated machines for every quality, I have usually 4 for normal, 1-2 for uncommon ...

Even with the other rules it doesn't specific that ALL machines must be switching recipe.

3) No recycling of finished products (only ore recycling is allowed as a baseline). This means if you have ore recycling working for balance, you are not ...

TL;DR
Remove the productivity cap, replace it with a negative productivity 'boost' to the recycling recipe


What?
Presently, productivity is capped at 300%, this was done primarily to prevent infinite loops from occurring via the recycler. What if instead of limiting how high productivity can go ...

... on the end of science belt and inserter in each lab, well, it's ugly but it isn't hard, it's just... idk

Somehow it is ok in Fulgora, the "recycling" part while being obnoxious as well, I can turn it off easily. Another thing to add is that you need things from Fulgora/Vulcanus in quantities ...

... the science recipe

When you don't research Gleba science, you don't need to run an endless egg loop, you can have it stop. You can restart it by recycling biochambers. This can be automated. You need to store some biochamber to make sure you can recycle a few in case you don't get eggs in the first ...

... Today is the day.
Here is a use case: To smart upcycle nutrients and spoilage. With my setup 10 spoilage turn into approx 2.5 nutrients which on recycling turns back into 6.25 spoilage, so 37.5% loss per cycle. That's the absolutely best way i could come up with so far to gain legendary nutrients ...

... as much productivity as possible and recycle it with as much quality as possible.

But here's the difference to standard upcycling: instead of recycling again until it's either gone or legendary, the recycled output is then used again as ingredient for the crafting recipe. When we manage to reach ...

I can't take any credit for how spectacularly well that recycling gizmo works, only for it working at all. Once I sussed out what was happening it took the back burner, I don't know, a day? to come up with any ...

Here it is again with the switchback to the second lane inside the beacon box, '238 recycling so it takes only what it needs from the main supply belt, and supply control done with an actually usable splitter and express belt rather than a not-so-usable-in-a-real-map inserter-to-magic-land. It does ...

Thanks for the report. It looks like this was already fixed for 2.1.

... about what's far away. I discuss an example below.



An example of where this would make far more sense would be where you have multiple large recycling setups on Fulgora. You want all of these chests connected to the logistics network so that the materials can be used anywhere, but this leads to ...

there is no such thing as a asteroid recycling loophole that got closed you can use space mining, it's competitive if you don't have much mining productivity

For anyone wondering what I eventually did:
1) I set the train system on Fulgura to just dump extras to the recycling facility on "Full or No Path" . The scrap is plentiful and I don't need to battle any ennemies to get more so getting right of the extra stuff ...
