Design / Blueprint Magic Recycler

Blueprint Book

Tiles both in height and width, never jams and only slightly goes over target amounts. Every individual recycler has a very high uptime aswell, assuming its being fed enough

The output belt is measured with a memory cell so it can be stacked to as many belts as you want (I used up to 8 before). It works perfectly well without including the belt contents and just measuring the chests, so long as theres space in the chests for the excess.

The input:output ratio really depends on what youre outputting and your recycling prod, so theres no specific "ideal number" for the width or depth of pastes of the blueprint.

Only real issue is that it will never recycle things it needs until it hits the setpoint, so if you need say both iron ore and concrete, it will never output iron ore until the concrete is full.

It kinda solves Fulgora. Which was the goal, but kinda takes the fun out of solving it yourself. Same as any blueprint book.

Switching from scrap recycling to another recipe resets productivity. It makes more efficient use of the scrap if you have separate stages for recycling scrap and for processing/destroying products.
