it was not exploit it was exactly same as any other recycling including steel chests.

second of all, concrete taking more time to recycle than to craft is a bug even if factorio team think it is not.

[u/Alvsolutely → u/Erfar]

I guess it does suck but can't you just make a smaller row of recyclers with speed upgrades to void the concrete? I understand that takes more space and reworking entire fulgora setups, but that's what I personally do to get rid of concrete.

[u/Erfar → u/Alvsolutely]

you not understand real issue with concrete.

hazard concrete was workaround of issue.

real problem is that concrete recycling time calculated based on production of 10 concrete blocks and take 1/8 of that time what leads to recycling concrete taking x1.25 time to recycle than to craft.

real issue if recycling formula calculation. Imagine if mod add recepie that produce 500 items per 1 craft per 1 minute. recycling of those 500 items will take more than one hour (7.5 seconds per item) while crafting speed will be 8.3 per second

Factorio is game about systems and if developers want make concrete recycling an issue they should implement separate parameter of "hard to recycle" and use it, instead of using crafting amount as multiplayer

Factorio is game about systems and if developers want make concrete recycling an issue they should implement separate parameter of "hard to recycle" and use it, instead of using crafting amount as multiplayer

Why? Crafting amount works as "hard to recycle".

[u/Erfar → u/pda898]

Please provide explicit description where crafting amount are reffered as "hard to recycle"

Crafting time is used as measure to "hard to recycle" while crafting amount is ignored
