Twice now, I have taken down my recycler to find all my upgrades are gone from it. (8x overclocker both times, and an additional 2x voltage the first one)

Personally I'm getting rather sick of having to make new upgrades every other day, so I'm wondering; is this just a mechanic, or is someone trying to make me really angry? =(

Are you using transporters? because they can suck up items, as i've had it where they have sucked up overclockers when removing the machine.

Oh transposers and filters? I've lost count of the number of times the dismantled machine ended up in the input slot of the next machine in line. I've learned now, transposer first then machine.

the only thing of such a type I am using leads to chests, not destruction. It is the very reason i've been picking up my recycler first, its the most dangerous item in my quarry setup.

I don't quite see how my recycler would burn its own upgrades in the process of being picked up and it should have ended up in one of my chests had it simple been sucked in =(
