Do overclockers make recyclers produce less scrap?

[ZedsDead]

My recycler is hooked up to a chest that pumps out cobble to a recycler that pumps the scrap into a chest. When the overclockers are in it feels like I'm getting a lot less scrap from the recycler, an example would be from a stack of 64 cobble i got 2 scrap. With them out it seems to create more, but overflows very quickly. Are the overclockers producing less or am i just having a bit of bad luck.

Just some bad luck. Whatever the situation, the recycler has one chance to create a scrap from an item out of eight. It can vary a bit, of course, but it doesn't have to do with overclockers.

Thanks man, Found out it was because of my power input to the machine, the overclockers were requiring more power than could be obtained so it slowed down the process.

Yeah, overclockers get very power hungry, very fast.

But they don't waste any time eating a whole stack of cobble.

I actually ran a simple system that took in extra byproducts from a RP horizontal mining rig I made myself, and fed the scrap to a fabricator. Ate through my byproducts at a clip of 20 or so seconds per stack, with 8 overclockers. I wish I could check the power drain, but I lost that map.

Yeah, keep in mind, the recycler has a certain percentage of making one piece of scrap, so it can be inconsistent.
