Shouldn't Copy, and Cut items have auto_recycle = false?

And while were at it, maybe Blueprint, Blueprint Book, Deconstruction planner, and Upgrade planner, too?

Maybe copy and cut could be taken out of recycling recipes, but that would not be based on the auto_recycle but it would be based on "only-in-cursor" flag being present on the item.

As for the blueprint, blueprint book, deconstruction planner and upgrade planner, that part is rejected. As far as i remeber design about recycling, items that character can have in the inventory should have a recycling recipe so it is possible to dump everything into a chest and have a universal voiding machine based on recyclers so we do not want to be removing those recipes. If a blueprint happens to be on a belt that goes to recycler, it will get recycled.

ah, ok. thanks for the info!

should i make a new bug report that only some items with only-in-cursor flag stops recycle recipes from being made?

Actually, I was just looking through the item definitions of copy, and cut, and the Remote items(spidertron, artillery, and discharge defense) which all have the only-in-cursor flag, but only the other remote items have auto_recycle = false

so it does look like its missing on Copy, and Cut

Ok. I added auto_recycle = false to the copu and cut tools for 2.0.58.
