I ran a recycle command yesterday and it appeared to work fine (ship vanished) but none of the items ever showed up in my OCD (was looking for optronic stuff, zasc/erest etc)
Can you help find out where it went? If its user error that’s all good, I’ve done it before successfully (like a year or two back) so was curious if I messed something up this time.

Hey, @victusfate. Welcome back.
Since you deleted the support template, I can’t really check anything. If you make a new ticket and fill out the template, I can check better 🙂

But recycle in general doesn’t return components. It returns either directly blocks, or if you have EGS Recycle level 5 or above it also returns devices.
There’s a better guide on the EGS Recycle here:
