Recycler
The recycler (sometimes referred to as the grinder) can be found in disposals. It converts metal and glass objects to metal and glass sheets at varying efficiency. It also destroys objects that cannot be recycled.
If a live person or creature enters the recycler it shuts off briefly and then engages again a few seconds after saving those who decide to use disposals as a from of transit. However, if you decide to emag your recycler it should do a fairly decent job at instagibbing live clowns people animals.
If the conveyor is turned on, any metal or glass sheets expelled by the recycler is picked up by the stacking machine and collected until there is a stack of 10 metal sheets or 10 glass sheets. At which point the stack is expelled (to the left) from the stacking machine and the sheets are left for the next cargo technician or janitor to pick up.
Note: The interior door needs to be closed otherwise the sheets will enter disposals over and over again.
| Item Name | Efficiency |
|---|---|
| Metal Sheets | ~98% |
| Glass Sheets | ~98% |
| Metal Rods | ~98% |
| Floor Tiles | ~98% |
| Table Parts | ~25% |
| Rack Parts | ~25% |
Note: The above is just a rough estimate. More science is likely needed to be done to be sure. Also note that I calculated the efficiency based on the cost of sheets to make the item.
Note: The recycler seems to round up. A stack of 10 metal sheets put into the recycler will return a stack of 10 metal sheets. However, a stack of 50 metal sheets put into the recycler will return 4 stacks of 10 metal sheets with about 9 sheets remaining in the stacking machine.
