Salvage Furnaces

This mod adds several different salvage furnaces, one for each different type of material.
You can use these furnaces to recycle various tools and armor pieces and recover some of the materials.
The higher the durability of the item the more scraps you can recover.
Some items like shovels can't be recycled when it is too damaged.

When you recycle tools in the salvage furnace, you receive some scrap.
The more material that was used to craft the original item the more scrap you will receive.

Upgrades!

The iron one can be used to craft Fuel efficiency upgrades, the gold one can be used to make speed upgrades and the diamond one can be used to make a storage upgrade.

Fuel upgrades can be inserted into a salvage furnace to upgrade the machine. This will make it so the machine burns fuel more efficiently. A salvage furnace can take up to 10 fuel upgrades.
