Year 14 Day 32 13:23	Recycling Question.
Han Hunter	If an entity is being recycled and the manager changes from "recycling faction" to someone/thing else does recycling continue or it it aborted? ____________ What Jawa's lack in feet they make up for in inches.

Year 14 Day 32 13:43	Recycling Question.
Lilith Delcroix	I can try it tomorrow, but don't know for sure. I'd think it doesn't stop, like with other stuff. Unassigning manager usually doesn't stop it. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Ellias Aubec	Once something has started to be recycled, doesn't it get converted to a wreck, and so even if it is unassigned, all you can do with it at that point is recycle it? So it would appear that unassining wouldn't really do anything. ____________

Year 14 Day 32 17:38	Recycling Question.
Lilith Delcroix	No wrecks no more. Well I never tried recycling a ship or a vehicle. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Justin Parker	I am pretty curious about recycling. Does recycling a space station yielding more than one cargo container? Thank you in advance. - J -

Year 14 Day 34 17:35	Recycling Question.
Lilith Delcroix	Yes it does, it makes as many containers as it needs to fit all RMs it gets from it. I will test the unassign thing tomorrow, too tired tonight. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Han Hunter	Thanks Lilith, keep me posted. ____________ What Jawa's lack in feet they make up for in inches.

Year 14 Day 35 6:18	Recycling Question.
Lilith Delcroix	Year 14 Day 35, 6:15 Recycling has begun on the Fountain Recycle Test (ID #671522). ETA: Y 14 D 35, 06:15:41 + Y 0 D 0, 15:36:00 Year 14 Day 35, 6:15 You have unassigned the manager of the following 1 facility: - Fountain Recycle Test (ID# 671522) It didn't stop recycling. The vehicle shows recycling as well as the facility in inventory. Fountain private owned. Edited By: Lilith Delcroix on Year 14 Day 35 6:18 ____________ Moons can't fly.

Year 14 Day 36 11:14	Recycling Question.
Athanas Nadeset	How do you recycle a space station? Curious :) ____________

Year 14 Day 36 11:40	Recycling Question.
Lilith Delcroix	Same as anything else, just have to use Wrecker, since they are freighters and can recycle in space. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Year 14 Day 37 14:09	Recycling Question.
Athanas Nadeset	Yeah, sound logical. I wanted to ask about the recycling time equation: Facilities & Stations: Time = ((Entity Material Requirement * 20) * Modifier) * 0.40 GRZ-6B Wrecker: Time = ((Entity Material Requirement * 20) * Modifier) * 0.60 All others: Time = ((Entity Material Requirement * 20) * Modifier) Is the result in days/hours/minutes? ____________

Year 14 Day 37 20:35	Recycling Question.
Lilith Delcroix	It depends on what you recycling, but usually its day. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Year 14 Day 38 0:22	Recycling Question.
Ellias Aubec	I believe times are generally outputted in hours in the equations, then converted to days in the inventory screens etc. ____________

Year 14 Day 39 2:31	Recycling Question.
Han Hunter	The only way I could get the math to work out is it being output in seconds. GRZ-6B Wrecker: Time = ((Entity Material Requirement * 20) * Modifier) * 0.60 Entity Material Requirement = sum total of materials required to recycle entity (the rules don't define this value) Modifier = 50+repair skill So a 100 flat has a sum total of 2000 materials with a repair skill of 0 it works out to be: ((2000 * 20) * 50) * 0.60 = 1200000 seconds or 13.8 days, another example is a fountain which would be ((52 * 20) * 50) * 0.60 = 31200 seconds or 8.6 hours. Both of which in my experience are correct time estimates for those entities. ____________ What Jawa's lack in feet they make up for in inches.

Year 14 Day 39 4:15	Recycling Question.
Lilith Delcroix	Yeah I am pretty sure the timers are stored in seconds, so probably all ETAs are even calculated that way. Otherwise the timers are ridiculously high values that I have no clue what they mean =P Since we are asking about recycling, I had a question come up recently. With Repair 1 I used to get around half the RMs from a facility, but Repair 4 doesn't seem to have that much bigger impact. Still testing it, but really wondering if there is a point to having high Repair. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Year 14 Day 39 4:49	Recycling Question.
Han Hunter	Well let's use that 100 flat as an example: Materials Required * (Modifier / 100) So with a 0 repair it is 2000 * (50 / 100) = 1000 or 50% RM's returned With repair 1 it is 2000 * (51 / 100) = 1020 or 51% RM's returned With repair 4 it is 2000 * (54 / 100) = 1080 or 54% RM's returned So for every 1 skill increase you get 1% more RM's returned. Honestly I don't use EVS much anymore just because they are a logistical nightmare to work with and the time multiplier almost doubles recycle times; A 100 flat 0 repair skill with a wrecker takes 13.8 days an EVS would take 23.1 days. ____________ What Jawa's lack in feet they make up for in inches.

Year 14 Day 39 5:16	Recycling Question.
Lilith Delcroix	Yeah we dotn use them much either, only two of us have them, the rest flies Wreckers. But apparently the RM output isn't that great, kinda sucks honestly. With only 5 max you'd think there would be bigger difference, good to know I dont need to waste my ponits. ____________ Moons can't fly.
