The recylcer in... Disposals? (The name of the area has completely blanked in my mind.) is a funny thing. While it can recycle metal, glass, plasma, etc, anything that would go into an ore processor, for some reason if it pops out some Metal or Glass, and then you decide you need to blend them into something, the machine will just eat up the Metal and Glass and give you nothing in the Recycler furnance for it.
I don't know how well I'm doing at explaining it so I'll try to break it down:
Find metal sheets somewhere, put them through the recycler
Get metal in the recycler equal to what you put it
Release the metal
Put it back through the recycler
The metal disappears from existence itself.
I showed and spoke to Frukt about this, not sure what was causing it. I suspected the ol' Glass Bottles Give Tonnes of Glass thing from like 2016, but the fix for that is completely unrelated to the recycler itself.
Really it shouldn't matter how many times you pass something through the recycler, it shouldn't just eat up all those materials.
Note: It only happens with Metal and Glass as far as I'm aware. I ran plasma sheets through it multiple times and it always spat out the correct number.
1st for BILL.
semi-related:
want metal? throw yellow toolbox in the trash and get 90 METAL because each piece of cable in a coil is worth 1 entire sheet of metal
that's right kids, one cable coil can produce 7 walls and still have metal left over
