Grinder return question - stacks and element
Long story short, our stack mod on our 3-year-old cluster has been abandoned and I'm going to remove it and set stack sizes in the INI. My plan is to give everyone on the server a week to craft as many materials as possible into stuff like structures, saddles, armor, etc. Then I'm going to set the grinder to return 100% of the materials. I'm in the planning and testing phase right now, but I have a couple of questions.

I know I can set the GrinderResourceReturnPercent to 100%. But if I set GrinderResourceReturnMax to, say, 20k per item, will that allow multiple stacks back? Say I have an ascendant saddle that takes 10k hide and I set my stack to 5k, will it return all 10k or will it give me only one stack?

Second, is there a way to allow it to return element? I know the game doesn't allow it by default but is there any way to allow this?
