I use the flora oneto turn resources into cereal or vegetables for components. I'll buy up a bunch of resources at 1cpu or less, then throw em in the recycler. There's a few things that reqiure specific resources and you can't use them for those. Like Dough requires Wheat, not cereal so you can't use the recycler for that. Basically the recycler grinds down the resource into the most generic version. So if a schematic calls for a specific type then it won't work. Like casks require Crystalline gemstone, and a recycler will grind it down to plain Gemstone, so it won't work in casks.

"Fruits" is a specific category of flora. "Fruit" is a generic category.containing flowers, berries, and fruits.


If a recipe calls for "fruits" (Bantha butter, kiwik swirl, Vasarian Brandy) you can't use recycled fruit. If it calls for "fruit" (with no s) like Felbar, Parwan Nutricake, or Canape, then you can use recycled fruit. Although you probaby wouldn't want to, since recycled resources always come out with 200 stats in everything.


Flora recyclers are best used for subcomponents (since quality doesn't matter on those) that require "vegetables" (soypro, protato), "cereal" (soypro, alcohol), or an even more generic category (like Carbosyrup and "flora food").


Chemical recyclers are handy for recycling water (for use in additives), and creature resources are very useful for recycling milk for Bantha Butter. With one of those, you can buy up every 100-200 stack of milk off of the bazaar, run them through, and get one big stack of milk for a large butter run.

I recall reading that when the recyclers first came out that there were issues in being able to use the recycled flora in things. For example, recycled fruit could not be used because it was labeled fruit and recipies called for fruits (or the other way around).

I don't have a recycler but I can see how they would be handy. What are people using them for in relation to foods (I assume components)?

Thanks.
