What's the difference? Your comment over on Upcycler made me investigate this mod, and it seems like this mod is the same as Upcycler. Is there a difference? Can you not set it to 1:1 upgrading? What is changed between the two?

the awesome sink supports modules and gets fed by a belt, the upcycler is configurable and acts as an actual machine with it's own output

so yes they achieve the same goal of "upgrading every x sacrificed items" but they do it slightly differently

which basically allows users to pick ehich feels best for them

If there was an option like the Upcycler, I'd probably use this one but since there's no way to configure it to my liking I'll stick with Upcycler.

what are some configuration options you'd like?

Well, the ability to turn down how many items are needed per quality upgrade. The way I am using Upcycler, I use it as a machine that "enhances" anything that you put in it (1:1), with the Burner Upcycler being a worse version available from game start (2:1). This is balanced by gated researches needed to unlock the higher qualities, and supplemented by a mod that allows you to un-quality things cheaply and easily and a mod that adds in even higher tier qualities.

If Awesome Sink gets the ability to change the ratio of items to quality like Upcycler, I'd probably switch to that as my major issue with Upcycler is its very odd building shape/intake and being always on.

If I was to also think of more configs/changes that I would adore off the top of my head:

• A text panel config that lets you type how much the research costs (like Mining Drones)
• 4 togglable tiers of the Awesome Sink, each with their own configurable ratios that are unlocked at each vanilla quality research tier
• The ability to change the cost of the recipe for each tier of Sink (also like Mining Drones)

Thanks for being so active!
