May be add recycler recipes?

If you want to 'recycle', this mod adds recipes to do so.
I just put everything in a box then shotgun it. Gone forever. (It's not like there's a shortage of wood.)

I don't think the main problem is that they are no longer burnable. The problem is that we eventually end up with various items like wooden power poles, wooden boxes, steel furnaces that are no longer used and there is nothing to do with them. Burning was a way to 'recycle' them.

Elegant solution would be to indroduce some sort of recycler into vanilla game where you put items that are no longer needed to get some materials back.

I would really like that feature to make it into the game. An "assembler" generating all kinds of different materials and having to deal with it seems an ok challenge

Hello!

I have GOG 0.17.9 version. Got crash playing campaign "Introduction":

stack traceback

Error while running event level::on_tick (ID 0)
__base__/lualib/compi.lua:97: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'pairs'
__base__/lualib/compi.lua:97: in function 'stand_next_to'
__base__/lualib/npe/helper-branches.lua:683: in function 'init'

__base__/lualib/npe/helper_story.lua:40: in function '?'
__base__/lualib/event_handler.lua:7: in function <__base__/lualib/event_handler.lua:4>

I managed to fix this bug (at least there is no crash and scenario is working):

fix

...
{
name = "go_to_chest_location",
init = function()
-- FIX BEGIN --
--local compi_box = global.main_surface.find_entities_filtered{ name = 'compilatron-chest' }[1] -- commented line
local compi_box = locations.get_surface_ent_from_tag(global.template_surface,'compi-box') -- added line
-- FIX END --
compi.stand_next_to(compi_box)
end,
},
...

Hope this might help!

Just give us an option to burn any useless final product in smelters using power/fuel and generate slag usable as filler in rails, walls and concrete recipes. No one really inserts anything in the smelters by hand at the stage where any kind of automation is possible, misclicks shouldn't be a problem.
