AKO Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 I wanted to create some additional cargo bays, but by accident created cargo barges. This is ofcourse very annoying (since my new ship cannot be build yet), but I would like to get the steel and electronics back that are now in the cargo barge. What is the order to destruct an item, so that it will deliver the original components? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T'Lariss Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 So far there is no such order, not sure if there ever will be one. Once yo have built and item it is built, no way to recover/recycle the componants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiver Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 Perhaps we'll eventually discover some new technology that will allow us to do this? Mass Recyclers, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugal Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 There is a dismantle order for ships. You get back the seperate items fo construction, but not the base materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternusIV Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 Two options: 1) Keep em around for when you might need Cargo Barges; 2) Install little surveyance cameras on them and gift them to neighbors and neutrals 3) Shape them into a large metal badger and wheel it up to your enemies door....

Galvorn Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 Remember you could always load them onto your catapults...especially if you have a horrible French accent.......should be quite effective against k'nigits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T'Lariss Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Anotehr possible use is to give them to neutrals to assist in diplomatic relations, after all you never knwo when some nuetral would like somce "advanced" tech. and cargo barges should make great trade goods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Deependra Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Or use a Recycling Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfouasnon Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yes , that installation is quite " spiffy " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Deependra Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I notice that my stockpiles are now sorted differently, with all the non-recyclables first, followed by === ^ End Resources ^ === Like this:- 99999 20,118 Fuel 0 5555 99999 1 === ^ End Resources ^ === 1 0 5555 99999 1 Imperial Flag 0 5555 That implies, among other things, the Imperial Flags will get recycled.

RTGPete Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I'll add Imperial Flag to the excluded list. They only exist to ensure that a pop group shows up in the stockpiles section. It seems unlikely that anyone would want its build components back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breoghan Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 ...and there was me thinking Imperial Flags were there just to get in the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshadow Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 INST: Recycling Center Recycling Center: Breaks down items in its pop group into their component parts with 100% efficiency. Thus, 1 10cm Autocannon would be converted into 400 Steel and 100 Electronics. When your recyclers got around to those items, the 400 Steel would transform into 1200 Iron and the 100 Electronics would become 200 Refined Crystals and 100 Synthetic Materials. The Synthetic Materials would eventually break down into 100 Gaseous Elements, 100 Industrial Chemicals and 100 Crystals. As detailed below, the resulting Iron, Refined Crystals, Gaseous Elements, Industrial Chemicals and Crystals would not be broken down any further. Caution is strongly advised. Your industrial ministers note that an isolated pop group should be used for recycling, as your Recycling Center workers are fanatical and have an insatiable appetite: they will disassemble just about anything they can get their pseudopods on. This would certainly cause extreme havoc if Recycling Centers were constructed in pop groups with important items. Your recyclers will dismantle anything except for Advanced Construction Materials, Fuel and any Advanced resource-class item. Thus, Advanced Steel, Advanced Petroleum, Advanced Fuel, Advanced Construction Materials and so on would not be recycled, while Advanced Battle Displays would. Installations are never fed into the recycling hoppers. It is difficult to predict with certainty which items will be recycled first, and whether or not byproducts just received from another item will take priority over something else. Recycling Centers are self-sufficient, drawing energy from items brought to them from the general population along with solar, wind, tidal and other green energy sources. Each Recycling Center can produce 3000 tons of material (1 Steel consuming 3 of those tons as produced Iron), improved by your empire's technological advances in Industrial Science and Social Engineering. Your industrial advisors once again note that when deciding where to build Recycling Centers, CAUTION IS STRONGLY ADVISED. Production requirements: 500 Construction Materials Consumes: <nothing> Requires: 1st Generation Social Engineering as a prerequisite technology for those that do not know.
