Compact Recycling Setup! (hackertalks.com)

This recycling system will look at what is available on the logistics network (from the roboport) and will keep recycling anything with more then R (4k by default, set by combinator next to the roboport) items in the logistics network.

Anything that doesn't have 4k in logistics, will get put onto the exit belt for sorting, or storage.

This uses my best effort stack inserters to keep the belt as compact as possible.

This system has reduced my fulgora footprint! most of my recycling belts are empty now, and my trains cannot keep up with the speed of recycling now.

The new UI updates are quite nice for quality mechanics, and the storage chests get bigger with quality is a very welcome change!

I'm thinking to save on UPS, it might be better just to use a train next to a recycler, so no belts are required at all. That would be easier on the engine
