Turning Titanium ingot back into 10x Titanium

TheParaChuter

Yea this should be pretty much already in the game since it's kind of a shame you can't do that already.
Titanium is in pretty large numbers around the map and storing them in lockers is kind of slot wasting.
Pretty sure it would be far better to turn them into Titanium Ingots and when you need some just turn it into 10x Titanium in the fabricator, ofc there is the problem when you still have
the few left.

You're not the first to suggest it and won't be the last. Maybe we get some recycler tech later, but there's plenty of titanium in case you want more. There's also a good use for titanium you forgot: the thermal reactor, and you need an armada of them, so no titanium bar is ever wasted, unless you hate thermal reactors for some strange reason. Usually I mass harvest titanium bars for my thermal power farms.

But I think with the upcoming machinery update this month, asking for a molecular recycler that could include waste disposal isn't really that wrong. The recycler could destruct each item with the help of the blueprint to its origin or simply annihilate it. But as all items can be dropped in game it's also possible to give the builder (capable of destruction anyways) the ability to destruct any item to its blueprint origins.

So we might simply drop the item we want to destruct, aim the builder and press e to destruct. The code searches for the blueprint and deconstructs to the inventory, while we see the same deconstruction animation we always see when using the builder for deconstruction. Minimal program efficiency I'd say.

I would love this, always miss-click when trying to make metal salvage into metal and turn all my metal into an ingot.
