Tinker's Construct Smeletry Question

It’s really not Reddis’s fault - the thread was necroed by someone else; BUT I didn’t want to just shoot it down as it was an interesting point I hadn’t considered before.

See, I had a funny idea in the opposite direction - a pack where you can't find ores or anything, but you start off with a couple of machines, and you have to basically retrieve scrap metals from places/mobs you raid, a bit Mad Max; you throw the alloys and stuff through a pulveriser to shred them down, then separate out the metals into their pure forms to effectively recycle them into other stuff. It was an idea, not sure if it would work, but it did intrigue me.

^This. I'm playing a pre-release space survival game (Empyrion) where you crash on a planet and at first you only have surface resources to work with, including other derelict spaceships to salvage, until you can make a drill to start underground mining. It's been fun so far, and the fact that there are dinosaurs and automated bases to watch out for (and scavenge if you can) make it interesting

Empyrion huh? I'll have to add that to my list to try. Thank you

Getting more ideas I wonder if I could do that...
