[BUG 1.64] Overclocked Recycler not gaining scrap

    It seems that when you overclock a recycler sufficiently, it stops producing any scrap. I just fed mine 2.5 stacks of items and it didn't get a single piece of scrap. That's definitely not a 1/8 return.


    I've put 6 overclockers into my recycler to get this effect, but it seems to produce diminished returns when loaded with 4 or 5 overclockers.


    My bad. Nevermind~.

    I putted 8 stacks of cobblestone in my recycler with 9 overclockers and got 1 stack of scrap
    weird
    Edit: what items did you give it?
    Here's my theory:
    When you putted in items on the "blacklist" like sticks, you didn't get any scrap
    You only putted "blacklist" items when you had 6 overclockers
    And with the diminishing results, you putted in a non "blacklist" item but the randomness involved produced less then 8 scrap/stack

    I think the whole 1/8 chance of getting scrap is a case of experimental probability. If that is the case, then the RNG does not like you very much.

    It increased the speed of processing machines, not increase their yield.


    Put 64 overclockers in a macerator and macerate 1 iron ore, you'll still only get 2 iron dusts, just a lot quicker.

    The result of the recycler (at least in past versions) follows the trend I would expect a pseudo-random number with 1/8th chance of success to produce. Sometimes RNGs, and more often PRNGs hit stretches of bad luck.


    As the odds are extremely high of zero scrap over a whole stack, I'd say it's more likely you were processing blacklisted items OR that there is actually a bug. (However the blacklisted items are the most likely)


    The default list includes:
    recyclerBlacklist=102, 280, 332, 220
    102 Glass Pane
    280 Stick
    332 Snowball
    220 Scaffold


    Ohh... That could be the reason. I was using glass panes. So, glass panes will still get destroyed, but give 0% chance of item gain?
