 Note: since ingots can be recycled into reagents, which can then be put into the centrifuge with 100% reclamation of the material from the ingot into the ore.  This allows you to smelt the same ores over and over and extract the gases from them each time, creating an infinite supply of gases, including [[Oxygen]] on Vulcan. This is not intentional and may be removed at some point.
 Items within a container, such as a toolbelt, will also be recycled and added to the resulting reagent ore.

-Used to recycle a variety of items. The recycler reclaims 50% of the resources used to create the item and produces a "reagent" ore that can be further processed into its components using a [[Centrifuge]]. If a reagent is passed into it however, 100% is reclaimed and the same reagent is passed through.

-Used to recycle a variety of items. Takes items in the left and spits reagent out of the right, to be used later in a [[Centrifuge]] where the ores will be separated. It is able to retrieve about half of the original materials.

-Power button toggles machine power state. The ratio for recycling is 50%, meaning you get half of what it cost to produce the item being recycled.
