Incendiary Rocket recycling

What the Incendiary Rocket gives back in each recycler

Recycler Efficiency You get
Red recycler75%112 + 50% Gun Powder, 56 + 25% Low Grade Fuel, 1 + 50% Metal Pipe
Green recycler (powered)60%90 Gun Powder, 45 Low Grade Fuel, 1 + 20% Metal Pipe
Green recycler50%75 Gun Powder, 37 + 50% Low Grade Fuel, 1 Metal Pipe
Yellow recycler40%60 Gun Powder, 30 Low Grade Fuel, 80% Metal Pipe

The Incendiary Rocket breaks down into Gun Powder, Low Grade Fuel and Metal Pipe.

A recycler takes them one at a time, so a full stack of 3 goes through in 3 cycles.

Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “112 + 50%” means 112 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
