g How to use this with complex recipes in SE where you partially recycle items?

27 days ago

I'm trying to use this with Space Exploration, which has a lot of complex production chains where outputs of later steps in the chain become inputs again for earlier steps.
When producing science packs, I need to make blank data cards early in the process. At the very end, junk data cards are produced together with the science packs. These junk data cards can be recycled and 70% come back as blank data cards to be reused.
So I need to tell Helmod to use two recipes for creating blank data cards. It needs to recycle ALL junk cards into blank cards. And whatever number of blank cards it still needs on top of that, need to be generated with the normal recipe. This effectively means that 70% of blank cards should be made with the recycling recipe, and 30% with the regular recipe
I just can't figure out how to do this. I tried switching back and forth between compute by element and matrix solver, I tried shifting the different recipes up and down, I tried manually changing the numbers of the outputs, but nothing works. I just can't get the calculator to use both recipes, one is always 0 and the other tries to do everything. Can anyone help?

I can now too, apparently Imgur didn't like my VPN, apologies. Thanks @Helfima!
