Upcyclers (Fully parameterized blueprint book)

While attempting to obtain rare Mech-armor, I needed several rare quality base ingredients. After building a few very similar factories to obtain those, I decided to make parameterized blueprints.

I've made blueprints for each quality level, and 3 style of production:

* Regular assemblers
* Assemblers with fluids
* Electromagnetic plants (with or without fluids)

thank you good sir!

edit: seems to be an error in the "rare" and "epic" assembling machine upcycler. the last stack inserster is filtering for legendary quality instead of the respective epic/rare quality

This should fix the issue with non-legendary upcyclers requesting/filtering for legendary ingredients at the last stage:

I made an account just to tell you that you are amazing and this is the easiest blueprint to use and up scale.

you are doing the machine gods works, stay awesome :D

This print is awesome and seriously helped me understand how parameterization works....though still feels like level 100 trig.

Is there anyway to get an update with power poles in it? Particularly the rare modules. From what I can see, dragging the rightmost belt going up out one square, a substation will fit perfectly inside. I tried running just medium poles, and in so many cases we end up with an errant inserter unpowered. I've been doing it manually for each instance, but apparently trying to update a print destroys all the parameterizations so I'm at a loss of how to update the print as the non-originator.

You've got some issues with the uncommon and rare Electromagnetic upcyclers recipes. They are requesting 1000 of every ingredient required. I've tried fixing it but it's beyond me.

I tried to take a look at it, but ... I'm confused about the underground belts that seem to go nowhere on those Electromagnetic BPs.

I think you will have an easier time editing parametrized blueprints if you when you paste it down, you don't change any options (just click the checkbox without choosing a recipe) It'll leave more of the information in place when you try to update the blueprint, and can help show where some things are coming from.

I made one with less recyclers, but it's not designed for a lot of throughput. I have not run it through a sandbox or anything but I think the logic is sound. I am just trying to get a few legendary parts for the space platform and the crazy armor achievements and I personally try not to copy other blueprints if I can avoid it.

I absolutely love your Upcycler blueprints, and made some minor tweaks to them for use in my own game (fixing the undergrounds on the EM versions, adding direct feeds from belts, modifying the layout of the Assembler+Fluids blueprint for better extensibility, adding Foundry variants, creating bulk versions of each of them, adding a Combinator to set limits on each of them, etc.), but your design really got me understanding Quality and Upcycling in a way that I was kicking myself over for hours.

Placing them will deploy automatically, but you'll have to set the variable in the Combinator (located near the Legendary machines) to however many of said Item you want in order to start it.

I've still got a lot to learn about the programming behind the variables, but your design is gorgeous! Thanks for the hard work!

The slight modifications to your designs I've been using are here:

doing a search to see what others are doing and this comes up. so does one recycler per tier help vs one in general?

Productivity bonus does not apply to recycling in general. It only applies to recycling Scrap, the resource found on Fulgora.

For upcycling, there is no productivity boost to Recyclers (at least, as far as I'm aware), so you should be fine to just use one Recycler per tier (or one Recycler total, really, but you could run into throughput issues with some of the larger versions).

I know my version of the Bulk designs are a bit wasteful (too many Recyclers, mostly), but they just feel nice and clean.
