Efficiency of the recycling process is determined by the '''Recycling Efficiency''' modifier, initially set to be 25%.

'''Recycling Efficiency''' determines the percentage of used materials that can be recovered and reused through recycling. It starts at 25% and can be increased to 90% via [[Edicts]] and [[Research]].


== Recycling Efficiency ==
At 25% efficiency, for every 100 [[Iron]] consumed, 25 [[Iron]] is recovered from Recyclables processed in the [[Waste Sorting Plant]]. Higher efficiencies amplify this reuse dramatically:
'''Recycling Efficiency''' is the percentage of used materials, that can be re-used by recycling them. The initial value of 25% can be raised up to 90% using different [[Edicts]] and [[Research]].

Each “use” represents the material being cycled through production and recycling, where 90% efficiency means 100 units act like 989 units over time due to repeated recovery. For example, jumping from 80% (494 uses) to 90% (989 uses)—a 10% increase—doubles the effective usage, much like how 80% to 90% damage reduction in ARPGs doubles survivability.
 
=== Storage and Overproduction ===
Recycling at high efficiency (e.g., 90%) floods the system with recovered materials—like [[Gold]]—faster than they’re consumed. With limited storage ([[Recyclables Collection]], internal buffers, belts), over-smelting raw ore during startup can clog the system, as recycled products loop back before space clears. Adding buffers or reducing initial smelting helps balance this overcapacity.


== Scrap Production ==


An efficiency of 25% means that for every 100 [[Iron]] used by a machine, 25 [[Iron]] can be created by processing the Recyclables from that machine in the [[Waste Sorting Plant]].

Recyclables are a loose product created by the Recyclables Collection, Research Lab II•III•IV•V, and all variants of Maintenance Depots.

The product is generated from machines consuming Iron, Steel, Copper, Glass, and Gold, offering a way to reduce usage of Natural Resources by reprocessing recycled materials in the Waste Sorting Plant. Efficiency can reach up to 90%, depending on the Recycling Efficiency modifier.

Recycling Efficiency

Recycling Efficiency determines the percentage of used materials that can be recovered and reused through recycling. It starts at 25% and can be increased to 90% via Edicts and Research.

At 25% efficiency, for every 100 Iron consumed, 25 Iron is recovered from Recyclables processed in the Waste Sorting Plant. Higher efficiencies amplify this reuse dramatically:

- Efficiency Levels and Total Usage (from 100 units of material): 

 - 25%: 132 uses (132% of original)
 - 50%: 196 uses (196%)
 - 60%: 247 uses (247%)
 - 70%: 328 uses (328%)
 - 75%: 395 uses (395%) - Max for ver 0.7.5 with all edicts and max recycling focus
 - 80%: 494 uses (494%)
 - 90%: 989 uses (989%)

Each “use” represents the material being cycled through production and recycling, where 90% efficiency means 100 units act like 989 units over time due to repeated recovery. For example, jumping from 80% (494 uses) to 90% (989 uses)—a 10% increase—doubles the effective usage, much like how 80% to 90% damage reduction in ARPGs doubles survivability.

Storage and Overproduction

Recycling at high efficiency (e.g., 90%) floods the system with recovered materials—like Gold—faster than they’re consumed. With limited storage (Recyclables Collection, internal buffers, belts), over-smelting raw ore during startup can clog the system, as recycled products loop back before space clears. Adding buffers or reducing initial smelting helps balance this overcapacity.
