Hi 77Playmaker,

after work and life keeping me away from Factorio for over a year or more, I'm trying to come back, picking up where I left off.
First, great to see you are still around and working on your mods!

Working on some mod that touches productivity and recycling, I just stumbled upon the fact that chunks, clumps and dust can be recycled, which somehow doesn't feel right. I know, it's personal preference, but... before I consider how to approach this and how it affects my modding efforts, I wanted to ask:
Is there any specific rationale behind it? Is it a conscious decision on your side?
Or are the recipes just picked up by the recycling mod itself automatically and you never gave it any thought?
What is your stance on disabling those? What is anyone else's opinion on this matter?

Cheers and keep up your good work!

Hi mate, long time no see.

I'm always in standby somewhere.

No recycling recipes are done in automatic by the game itself and indeed in the past I had to manually remove many of them to avoid you and me create strange intrusive thoughts and reasonings.
But indeed I forgot the main dish, or ore refining, because who the hell would recycle ores. Never crossed my mind really. xD
I think that disabling those would be definitively lovely, thank you for the advice.

See ya on Nauvis mate, and again thanks for everything!
