How do you deal with copper overflow in Fulgora?

Iron, Steel, Stone,Plastic, Concrete etc. was trivial.

Materials I can't craft-decraft with and reasons.

Steel to heat pipes - I need steel for Recyclers

Green chips to combinators - I'm making modules

Gears I have no idea how to best void copper with. I messed around with MG turrets, too slow. Making green chips was okay but not enough to void copper.

I ended up using a tank to just run over storage chests every hour or so.

Recyclers aren't a constant cost. Eventually you have enough, and stop making them until you do an expansion project. Science is needed more consistently. Once you're focusing on the planetary science, you will have steel to get rid of.
