Recycler inventory / Deposit all / Advanced collection net connected to storage
So After having played the new update quite extensively, I think everything else added is pretty good and balanced. I think we need more recipes that actually do things other than sustenance but that's preference.

I've pressed E on recycler more than anything else in the game combined. That is okay and all, but for a machine designed to re-purpose otherwise unneeded materials into currency I think it could do much better with an inventory style interface that uses it's inventory periodically. Either way I love the new system, but I think this would be much more user friendly!

Deposit all of a single resource. Speaks for itself, it would be really nice if I went into my plank storage and pressed (alt e) for example instead of hunting for each stack. Huge QOL and would be very appreciated!

So, we can stack up the collection nets, Adding storage to them is... kind of pointless. I hate to say it but I think this is the most useless upgrade that was added. I have a use and my life is easier for everything else added. This one would simply add to a total cost of more than 100 titanium to hold a bit more storage that I will have to do two trips for(Making it weirdly less convenient) instead of the full inventory the regular nets give. I have two fixes here. First is to alter how they work to make them include the attachment of a storage.(plastic wood or large, or perhaps they just come with some storage, hell the large storage is 4 titanium itself, I don't think it's unreasonable for it to also have it's own storage.

The second idea and I'm more fond of this one, is to set it to pick up a specific resource and ignore others. I don't know how this would work with coding, but after a certain point I just don't need leaves or rope or plastic. I need wood all over the place and I love barrels and chests. I wouldn't be all too mad if I could set something in a slot and it ignored all the rest of the resources that come on by. Along with a light or something fun to show that it is full, would be fun.

But those are my ideas!!! Hope you like em!

Agreed. I imagine it to be a cross between the Juicer and the Trash Can.

The juicer takes a battery, but you gotta click the blender part to start juicing, and it only uses the battery while juicing.

The trashcan has an inventory, but has a "discard" button next to the sort button. I think just reusing that interface would be perfect.



PS, here are some fun terms:
Whitelist vs Blacklist.

2 alternative type of filters. I think this would make for a fine net-upgrade.

OOoooh! That's even better! That sounds like it's worth 4(or more even) titanium for sure!
