A New Machine For Disassembly!

[GPedia]

I would like to request a new way to dispose of obsolete items and machines in the world.

I am thinking of a new machine that unlocks along with the Assembly Machine, called the Reclamation Machine.

It would break the machines down into components and scrap.

For Example:
1) The Burner Mining Drill would become a Stone Furnace and Scrap Iron.
2) The Stone furnace would become stone.
3) Scrap Iron would have to be smelted back into Iron. Same for copper and steel.


They would disassemble into the recipe ingredients (what the assembly machine would need to make it), except for iron, steel and copper, as mentioned above.

The Reclamation Machine would work at half the speed of the associated Assembly Machine, and would draw as much energy. It would take the same resources to make as the Assembly Machine, and would draw the same amount of power. The 'Recipe' tab would choose the item you are going to reclaim using the machine, and you would need Smart inserters to take the different materials out.
