Add alternate recipe for concrete from hazard concrete

Post by joeykins »

TL;DR
There should be alternate recipes for producing Concrete from Hazard Concrete, and Refined Concrete from Refined Hazard Concrete

What?
Pretty much as the tl;dr says: with the changes to the (refined) hazard concrete recycling recipe there's now a possibility that a load of hazard concrete will end up as a surplus item which can't be consumed or used. Adding the reverse recipes so that Hazard Concrete can be turned back to Concrete, and Refined Hazard Concrete back to Refined Concrete gives us flexibility to turn an a surplus material back in to something useful. These alternate recipes should of course be banned from using both productivity modules and quality modules, and should be limited to the player and assemblers; the same quality module restriction should be applied to the creation of hazard concrete from concrete.

Why?
Again, pretty much as the What? says. If applying some paint to turn concrete in to hazard concrete can be easily done in an assembler, it stands to reason that removing that paint should be doable just as easily. As things stand right now, if someone uses extensive hazard concrete in decoration and then upgrades that to refined hazard concrete, the standard hazard concrete will then just sit in storage in perpetuity with absolutely no use elsewhere. Yes the addition of the recycler mitigates that somewhat, but I think it's more in keeping with the spirit of the game that we should be able to "drain" an oversupply of hazard concrete by converting it back to regular concrete so that it can be consumed by other recipes.
