When you first reach a material recycler, recycle all your trash items.

Go and pick up the produced materials from the bin.

Put the materials you have collected back into the recycler, but this time split/divide the materials into as many separate slots in the recycler as you can. (Default key: z)

Recycle the divided materials.

The more slots you have filled with divided items, the more you will get back. You can easily double/triple your materials in seconds.

I have little doubt that this exploit will be patched out soon enough, so enjoy it while you can!

Oh, and of course, with the awesome trainer provided by CH you don't REALLY need to do this, but....what the hey!

I can confirm that this is indeed working! However a clarification through a few trials.

The amount you get out of the recyc machine is partially dependent on how many stacks, however it takes into account stack size exponentially.

For instance: you do stack sizes of 0.05 - 0.10 and you will gain bricks around the size of 2.25 per stack. If you fill up the entire recyc screen, your net gain will be moderate.

However, if your stack sizes are 18.75 and you only do 16 stacks, your yield will be 899 materials, at 56.25 per brick.

If you do 8 stacks of 112.42, your yield will be 2248.4

Happy exploiting! Enjoy it until it gets patched.

No longer possible in the new patch (steam 1.2)
