User:Thrawcheld/Scrap yields

The following table lists the expected yield (rows) per 1000 scrap, if all possible recycling steps that could yield that item are performed.

• Direct yields are those obtained by recycling in only one step.
• Full process yields are those obtained by further recycling the direct products, assuming the maximum possible amount is recycled. Only items that have at least one recyclable yield have this column.

Full process yields will not usually be obtained in practice, since some intermediate recyclable items will be consumed instead of recycled. In particular, the yield of copper plates, copper cables and plastic is much lower when rockets are being constructed, since rocket construction consumes processing units and low density structures.

The table takes into account that each yield is rolled for independently, including for scrap.
