Recycler
The Recycling Station breaks a crafted item back down into a share of the materials it took to make it. A pristine item gives back the most; a worn-down one gives back less, and a fully broken item gives back nothing at all.

The loop
Right-click the placed station to open it.
- Right-click the Recycling Station.
- Drop the item you want to break down into the input slot. An item that cannot be recycled at all is rejected with "That item cannot be recycled here."
- The middle columns of the menu preview exactly what you would get back. If recycling it would return nothing, the preview says so and the confirm button is blocked.
- Click confirm. The materials pop out of the station, and you get "Recycling complete."
- If you close the menu with an item still sitting in the input slot, it is returned to you.
