📋 About This Mod
Nodas Equipment Recycler
Because there are so many players ask for this machine but nobody would like to make it, so i make it!
There are two ways to use this mods: - A recycler - Nodas Equipment Recycler. This machine works with other machines on CONTRAPTIONS WORKSHOP DLC. This one is to build a factory with continuous chain and it takes time to process. I like this setup. -> Build it like any other machines. Then build a conveyor before it to connect it with a source of items. Finally, connect it with a power source. Break down components go out of the machine.
- A portable device - Nodas Portable Recycler. This one is for the convenient at the battle field. It instantly recycles items and of course, it fills your carry weight. But for sure, it is lighter than the original items weight.
- -> Craft it at any Chemistry station, then use it like any other Aids. You can assign it to a shortcut for your convenient. Break down components automatically add to your inventory.
Comments are always welcome and helps are greatly appreciated to improve the machine. You can help me by showing your mods list if you can not use the machine or the portable device.
Please READ these know issues before you report a bug Know issues: 1. Player ask me to put thing directly into the machine. You have it now :D. 2. The machine stops before all items are broken down. It is because sometime two (or more) items go into the machine at the same time, but it can only record 1, so it "thinks" it do the correct job. Just take items out and try again or switch power off/on again. 3. The Portable device doesn't open to put items in some computers. It is likely that some mods skip the opening interface of the device. It is very useful for me if you can show your mods list in case the device doesn't work. 4. It can be stuck. But this is not my mod. It is the DLC itself. Try not to throw hundreds of items or s.t big on the conveyor on the way to it. 5. some items are "crazy" break down, such as bottle-cap to wood and plastic. It is default value, i will update soon.
