>>135402>but most everything higher quality related now is done via bots.And funnily enough right as I was looking at it to detail in my post a bit, one of the reasons I use mostly bots appeared. I was checking on the belts and normal quality holmium was congested because I filled up entirely the epic holmium chests I was using to store its plates. The initial idea was to train over scrap from a quality scrap mine and then let it be processed at a rate which could allow for continuous drilling of scrap, but that didn't really pan out, it only sorta works now because I made a secondary processing area for normal and uncommon scrap. Would be much better to just have the drills all storing to chests.
Then the main thing after is just figuring out how to deal with the byproducts of scrap recycling. I was tinkering with that for the longest while, but I'm pretty sure I've figured it out now. You just need to learn circuitry and conditionals, then have the byproducts sorted into chests, probably with buffers in-between for higher qualities, and once you're getting close to full on a chest have a requester chest that reads that value on the logistic network and send the materials into a big quality scrapper contraption to either attempt to get lower materials or the same thing at a higher quality. Once you get to legendary though I don't really like destroying anything unless I'm turning it into other materials, in that case just have a lot more buffer chests.
Though before any pure recycling to reduce quantity you should really be turning the materials into anything you can in other quality moduled assemblers. The advantage of scrapping more expensive buildings and such is whatever you get in return is all of the same quality. So say you scrap an Electromagnetic Plant and it rolls legendary, now you have a bunch of extra legendary materials for free that'd otherwise take you forever to attain through traditional means or trying to scrap raw materials into legendary.
