If the system progresses as you've thought out, removing the item seems smarter in a system balance way than not since it would remove more inflated mat prices from dissed material recovery and conversion.


If the system is working correctly (as in ideally) there is no need to retain the original item as an item. I'm still at a loss as to why people continue to cling to the retrieval being necessary even when a hypothetical situation where the original is not needed anymore is presented.
To be honest I feel the same way you do. I only included that because of those people. In theory if it reached all the stages I put in, it wouldn't even matter because the only reason to want it back (the single glamouring) is fixed in the other stages I put in.
