Recycling plant

Post by sparr »

I would love to see a "factory" that takes [almost] anything as input and spits out some (maybe random, maybe deterministic) fraction of the resources used to make it.

I like this idea. It's also mentioned in a different thread [1].

Of course, it needs to be balanced so that even with max productivity modules, it doesn't allow you to get more resources out of something than you put into it :)

I'd like this idea
I think you shoud be able to do it manually, not by a factory... and make it so it would take soooo much time of personal (un)building that makes you think 10 times before recicling (and MAYBE maybe lower this time with research).
I think that if this is made in the player's personal inventory it would be less exploitable, since you can't use Beacons, nor Modules, nor have a factory making X item and next a recicling factory unbuilding such X item (IDK why you would do this, but it makes sense... maybe with light oil -> solid fuel -> light oil for "destoying" excess fuel... but this shouldn't be a posibility IMO)
