awesome, thank you. That is a bit clearer now. Hopefully you can bare with me for further questions.
So to clarify, when I recycle something it is then added to the claim menu? and I can then physically take it back that way? does it get repaired? What is the difference of storing something in a private locker versus recycling. Do stored materials in a locker not get used when fabricating something?
follow up question, sometimes when doing certain actions I increase the materials held at a facility.(Maybe just when I recycle?, so perhaps a redundant question) I dont really recall what the screen says. But shows the 3 icons and the increased numbers to the right in blue. Am I physically adding to the amount of materials at that particular facility? or just increasing the potential maximum amount of materials I could store at that facility?
And just remembering now. when I increase the amount of Chiral bandwidth in a region, is that just for me to build stuff, or does that mean I will see more online/shared structures in the area?
Yes, recycling adds it to the claim menu. Damaged goods give you a lesser value of material as opposed to something intact but it still gives you some value, so if you have room, lugging damaged good to recycle is worth it.
Think of a private locker like a private storage area with limited slots. You can store materials in it but its primary purpose is the storage of other items, like equipment, weapons etc. The recycle option allows you to store greater material amounts than the private locker does and avoids taking up private locker slots. Each facility has a cap on how many of a certain material it can store, so if you really wanted to, you could use both the private locker and the recycle option to store a significant amount of materials. Note that increasing the star rating of a facility increases how many materials it can store via the recycle option.
The blue numbers you are referencing occur when you recycle. The white numbers on that screen is the amount of materials you had. The blue numbers are your new totals, with each icon representing a material.
Chiral bandwidth is how many total structures you can build in any particular area. You shouldn't really run into a bandwidth issue. I haven't so far.
