• You can now "recycle" elements. This action can be done on in-world elements, as well as in inventory elements.
  
• This action can be done on elements that have lost lives. Recycling an element will recover back 1 of the components stack used to craft the items, excluding intermediary parts (screw/pipe etc).
  
• For example, recycling an Adjuster L can yield back either : 1 standard frame M, 1 basic gas cylinder M, 25 basic injector.
  
• Recycling a slot of element yields random components for each recycled element. (Recycling 5 Adjustor M will yield potentially 2 frame, 1 gas cylinder, and 50 injector)
  
• A "Recycle element" context menu action on elements on constructs allows to recycle the element. The action is accessible based on existing "trash element" action . (Must be without PvP timer + must have RDMS build right on construct)
  
• A "Recycle elements" on container slots has been added. Right is based on a similar "delete" action. (RDMS to retrieve item is required, item must not be owned).
  

• New talent added that improves schematics research efficiency.
