- Prismite (not called plates) recycles back into prismite ore. It's not consistent with vanilla ores/plates, where iron/copper plates and stone bricks do not recycle back into their ores.
- The default recipe for Runestones is the 5 carbon:1 runestone recipe, I would expect this one to be used for recycling. Runestones recycling instead uses the Prismatic Runeforging recipe. You get less carbon back, but you also get a few Prismite crystals.
I also kinda wish there was a recipe using Orichalcum which wasn't a slow, expensive one like exalted runes and exalted voidforges, which when recycled would return orichalcum. It makes it difficult upcycling orichalcum to legendary. Using the garbage method of just running it through recyclers with no intermediate step works better simply because it's faster, despite having a much worse material loss rate. Even just being able to start with Orichalcum ore and cook it once with quality modules before the plates enter the recycling loop would be a significant improvement. Gotta get me those legendary exalted voidforges and exalted runes!
If you could recycle coherence catalysts back into their components, that could work. It'd be an interestingly tricky problem to solve if you could only get its components by recycling when the catalysts were inert, while recycling a "live" catalyst would only return the catalyst.
As an aside, I really like the recent addition of coherence catalysts, but I initially didn't see how they were in any way beneficial. I didn't understand that inert catalysts turned back into usable catalysts after 20 seconds, and thought their only purpose was to accumulate as trash. Only when I finally noticed they spoil did I see how they were useful. It might be worth putting something in the description of inert catalysts to clarify they become usable again and are not garbage.
