X - Fast Recycling

The mod speeds up the recycling time of toxic waste on the wastepack atomizer from the "Biotech" DLC. Also, if you have the "Vanilla Recycling Expanded" mod installed, similar edits are made to the garbage compactor and alloypack splitter.

Changes:
Wastepack atomizer - toxic waste recycling time accelerated by 5x.
Garbage compactor and alloypack splitter - recycling time increased by 25%.

What is my logic?
The wastepack atomizer is now capable of recycling all 10 bags (that can be loaded into it at a time) in one day. As a result, this device becomes truly capable of fulfilling its primary purpose. Now you don't have to bombard the neighborhood with your waste by launching it from the launcher.
The Alloypack splitter recycles 10 bags in two days. As you can see, it runs twice as slow as the wastepack atomizer. There are two reasons for this. The first is that the Alloypack splitter requires a less powerful chip to build than the wastepack atomizer. This makes it available earlier. But it would be logical to think that it is also less efficient. The second reason is that the Alloypack splitter does not destroy waste, but extracts useful resources from it (not much, but they are there nonetheless). This is obviously a more useful procedure, and therefore should take more time (if only for balance).
Garbage compactor is now capable of processing 10 bags of garbage into 50 blocks (two stacks) in exactly one day. There is no point in strengthening this unit even further - it does not require any special resources, so it is quite easy to build it in any quantity. The increase in output is done solely to make it easier to count. In my opinion, 50 blocks (exactly two stacks) produced in exactly 1 day is much more convenient for calculations than 40 blocks per day.
In fact, you could not make changes to "Vanilla Recycling Expanded" and just increase the recycling rate of Wastepack atomizer by 4 times instead of 5. Then the logic would be exactly the same. The Wastepack ran was twice as fast as the Alloypack splitter, and the Garbage compactor at the same speed as the wastepack atomizer. I did this because I like nice numbers that are easy to do calculations with. I am more comfortable with calculating the yield in days. With my mod, recycling time becomes intuitive and easy to remember. In one day the Wastepack atomizer recycles 10 bags, Alloypack splitter - 5 bags, Garbage compactor - 10 bags.

The mod can be safely added or removed at any time.
