[2.0.28] Recycling recipes with only one ingredient confusingly named in factoriopedia

Post by cyx2020f »

When checking the recycle recipe in factoriopedia of one item, that is:
1. Made from only one type of item
2. Doesn't recycle into itself

It will display recycle recipe as "k × something recycling", where k is the floor of the recycling recipe output, but something is the original item.

E.g.:
Steel chest recycling recycles stell chest into 2 steel plates, but the recipe says "2 × steel chest recycling".
Iron stick recycling recipe is "0 × iron stick recycling".

It is the default behavior of naming a recipe with single output, but it's confusing.

The products are also often displayed as something like 0–1, I wonder if showing 0.25 would be better, or worse ad you can't actually have 0.25 of an item (how about just 25% ? and if it's say 1–2, you could instead have 1 + 25%)

Factoriopedia is showing recipes correectly. I believe that you are talking just about the tooltip. If anyone is puzzeled by this, then they are just one click away from the detailed view…
