ZenRecycle

Recycle:

When using the Obliterator each item in the Obliterator has one of its ingredients randomly selected and 100% of the selected resource is extracted and left behind in the Obliterator, the other ingredients for that item are destroyed.

Trash:

You can Burn Trash in Bonfires and Iron Fire Pit (configurable).
You can Smash Trash on the ground.

How It Works

The rationale for this mod is that the Obliterator is not very interesting in vanilla, it lacks utility, and yet resources should be scarce.

If you can always recycle items and are guaranteed to get ingredients back then your need to go get more resources will be reduced.

On the other hand, adding a little bit of luck to the Obliterator makes it more fun to use since there is a small chance you could get back all the iron from that level 4 sword! Or maybe you will only get a pile of leather. Pull the lever, good luck!

If the item recycled is a metal ingot then it is melted down into its raw ore / scrap form. You will need to smelt it again to turn it back into an ingot.

You always get 100% (configurable) of the randomly selected ingredient, including all its level costs but no more than the max stack size of the resource. However, which ingredient gets recycled is selected at random from the item's recipe. Only one ingredient will ever be returned per item that is recycled.

If the item placed into the Obliterator has no recipe then it is destroyed, or maybe a little bit of coal is left behind if the God's smile on you.

Mods like Epic Loot and Jewel Crafting have not been tested.

Client / Server Requirements

NOTE: Technically it is not required on the server. However, if it is installed on the server then it will force all clients to have it installed as well. This is to enable two modes of usage:

Dedicated server admins can put the mod on the server to enforce all clients to have the mod installed and sync admin configs.
Trusted friends can agree to run the same mods and connect through a vanilla dedicated server with no enforcement but with locked admin configs.

Sample Config File

## Settings file was created by plugin ZenRecycle v1.2.0
## Plugin GUID: ZenDragon.ZenRecycle

[Recycle]

## [Admin] Use the Obliterator/Deconstructor to salvage scraps from items.
## Only a single ingredient will be recovered from each item in the machine. 
## The resource selected is chosen at random.
## All levels of the item will be included in the total amount of the resource returned up to the max stack size.
## [What percentage of that total should be returned? Default: 100%]
# Setting type: Single
# Default value: 1
# Acceptable value range: From 0 to 1
Recycle Percent = 1

## [Admin] List of items which will never be recycled.
## However, they will still be destroyed / obliterated.
# Setting type: StringList
# Default value: 
No Recycle - Items = 

## [Admin] This item must be in the machine for each use.
## [Vanilla: blank]
# Setting type: String
# Default value: Thunderstone
Item Required Per Use = Thunderstone

## [Admin] Amount needed of the Item Required Per Use.
## [Has no effect if Item Required Per Use is blank]
# Setting type: Int32
# Default value: 1
# Acceptable value range: From 1 to 1000
Item Required Per Use - Amount = 1

## [Admin] Obliterator crafting requirements.
## NOTE: Thunderstone was removed because the default configs require it to be consumed on each use.
## [Vanilla - Iron:8, Copper:4, Thunderstone:1]
# Setting type: StringList
# Default value: Iron:8, Copper:4
Crafting Requirements = Iron:8, Copper:4

## [Admin] Never recycle items that only have a single ingredient when that ingredient is not teleportable.
## Single ingredient items can be abused to always get back the original ingredient and bypass portal restrictions.
## Example: BronzeNails, IronNails
# Setting type: Boolean
# Default value: true
No Recycle - Single Ingredient No Teleport = true

## [Admin] Ingots are melted into ore/scrap automatically.
## This is a map of items that are melted back into other items.
## By default it's a conversion map of ingots back to ore.
## It could map anything to anything, but it must be 1 item yields 1 ingredient.
## Advanced Option:
## Append %n to the end of a resource to force a yield % of that item diff than RecyclePercent
## Divide multiple resources with | to have an even chance of selecting any one of those resources.
## Example, this will give a 34% chance to convert bronze to TinOre, and a 67% chance to convert Bronze to CopperOre:
## Bronze:TinOre%34|CopperOre%67
# Setting type: StringList
# Default value: Tin:TinOre, Copper:CopperOre, Bronze:BronzeScrap, Iron:IronScrap, Silver:SilverOre, BlackMetal:BlackMetalScrap, FlametalNew:FlametalOreNew, Flametal:FlametalOre
Melt Conversion = Tin:TinOre, Copper:CopperOre, Bronze:BronzeScrap, Iron:IronScrap, Silver:SilverOre, BlackMetal:BlackMetalScrap, FlametalNew:FlametalOreNew, Flametal:FlametalOre

[Trash]

## [Admin] You can smash trash items on the ground.
## [Disabled by default because progression is nice without it, burn in fire instead]
# Setting type: Boolean
# Default value: false
Destroy - On Ground = false

## [Admin] You can only destroy items on the ground that you have dropped from your inventory.
## If you leave the area the item will no longer be able to be destroyed until you pick it up and drop it again.

# Setting type: Boolean
# Default value: true
Destroy - On Ground - Require Drop = true

## [Admin] You can burn trash in the fire.
## [Leave blank to disable this feature]
## [restart required for changes to take effect]
# Setting type: StringList
# Default value: bonfire
Destroy - In Fires = bonfire, fire_pit_iron

## [Admin] What are the rules for destroying items?
## Everything: Any item can be destroyed, no restrictions.
## ProtectImportant: Important items can not be destroyed (no-teleport, or equipable).
## ProtectImportantAskOther: Important items can not be destroyed, confirm for anything else.
## AskImportant: Ask before destroying important items.
## AskEverything: Any item can be destroyed, but confirmation is required for everything.
## AdminOnly: Only Admin can destroy items (Must be in God mode)
## [Admin can always override by being in God mode and holding LeftAlt]
# Setting type: DestroyOptionGround
# Default value: ProtectImportantAskOther
# Acceptable values: Everything, ProtectImportant, ProtectImportantAskOther, AskImportant, AskEverything, AdminOnly
Destruction Rule - On Ground = ProtectImportantAskOther
