Recycling Processed Fuel

[cmw]

So I started playing around with the various workshop contraptions, mainly to setup an automated recycling center.

And it mostly works. Until I upgraded my Advanced Industrial plot from Oil Well to Lvl 2, that is.

The Processed Fuel that gets created does not play well with contraptions. With the vacuum hopper, it just goes flying out the top. Any that land on a conveyor belt, get stuck going into the next machine, and then the jamming begins...

So far, the only way I have successfully gotten them recycled with contraptions, is to add them directly to the recycler inventory.

Anyone else run into this?

The Recycler for me does not like having the ore fed to it on the belt i have to manually stuff it into the machine.

Is the recycler you're using another SS plot or the one from Manufacturing Extended?

extended and expanded.

There is a SS plot based recycler????

The mods for workshops that I am using are Equipment Sorter, Manufacturing Extended and Better Manufacturing.

I have found 3 ways of successfully recycling Fuel and Ore in the workshop:

1. Add them directly to the recycler
2. Add them directly to one of the conveyor lifts, IF that lift is directly attached to the recycler
3. Use the component extractor from Manufacturing extended to pull the components apart.

Well, one of the plots sorta has a recycler, but it's not, as far as I know, the type we're discussing, that was partly why I asked, I thought I'd missed a feature of the plot for a minute :P
