Removes ability for autolathe to eat stuff
Buffs improved smelter from 25/30/35/40/45/50% efficiency to 25/40/55/70/85/100% efficiency
Why It's Good For The Game
Fewer mats from maint. Less access to rare mats outside of cargo. More reasons for sci to upgrade cargo. Less proliferation of high-end printed equipment.
It's a painful change, but a really necessary one. Autolathes should not be better at recycling than a dedicated smelter.
This also encourages people to go to cargo with scrap rather than hoarding it.
Changelog
balance: autolathes can no longer recycle anything at 100% efficiency
balance: buffed smelter recycling rate when upgraded from 5% per tier to 15% per tier.
