Looking for PUs/red circuits/LDS annihilator

Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

Looking for PUs/red circuits/LDS annihilator

Post by davcrt »

Hello,

I have been trying to design a late game Fulgora excess recycling facility, and I'm struggling to get rid of the mentioned items. Do you guys have any good universal design that is as small as possible? I need to get rid of approximately half stacked belt of PUs.

Theoretically, it should be possible to destroy almost 100/s PUs with only 8 legendary recyclers (single beacon + speed modules) or not?

Yes, with 8 legendary recyclers equipped with a single beacon and speed modules, you should be able to destroy close to 100 PUs per second. Ensure the recyclers are properly supplied and positioned for optimal output. Consider using priority belts to manage the flow and prevent overloading.

I don't know if this achieves the specific rates you're after, but there are probably ideas from this design that you can use.

This design was made to produce common quality batteries, stone, and holmium ore, and recycle everything else. What's useful about this to you is the ability to recycle literally any input without the design having to change - it'll get ride of processing units, low density structures, etc, and all their downstream outputs, including GCs, copper cable, etc.

Do something like this for your problem items.

Edit to add: I should mention the shortcoming. It only functions up to some maximum input rate. If you overfeed it for too long it will clog. I haven't bothered to measure the maximum rate (since it works for me), but just copy-paste it a few times if it can't keep up with your input rate.

What's a "PU"?

Since this is about scrap recycling, it's most likely processing unit / blue circuit.
