Solution: Blacklist scrap in the prototypes/deepcore-mining-supported-ore.lua file
Perhaps an issue with my rather extensive mod list (Most likely, in fact) but after arriving on Fulgora in my current playthrough, I found myself unable to hand-recycle scrap, and any scrap in a recycler would turn into deep core scrap chunks at a rather bad rate; which would then be refined with sulfuric acid into scrap. Which would turn into deep core chunks.....
This is less of a pls fix post and more to help if someone else also suffers from this problem, although it might be helpful if disabling scrap in the mod settings also blacklisted scrap instead of just preventing it from spawning, to avoid said issue.
Beyond that, I would like to say that this is one of my favorite mods for infinite resources, since it isn't "cheaty" as most of them are.
