Allows unlocking any tech tree item regardless of progression. Cost is doubled and there is a 25% chance of failure that still consumes resources.

Recycling
| Recycler | Returns | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Recycler50% back | 1 Tech Trash, 150 Scrap, 1 Gears | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 0 to 1 Tech Trash, 120 Scrap, 0 to 1 Gears | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 1 to 2 Tech Trash, 225 Scrap, 1 to 2 Gears | 4s |
A range means the last unit is a coin flip rather than a guarantee: half the recipe rarely divides evenly, and the recycler rolls for the remainder.
