Hi, @DeathByVX.
As Gareth and Bob already explained, how much you get back depends on your EGS Recycle level. You only have level 1, so you only get blocks (no devices), and only ~10% if I remember right.
Garethās link will explain in detail.
Xenosteel is considered an āotherā, which is not a block, and therefore it does not get returned š
But if you upgrade your EGS Recycle level to 5, before the wipe, then I will return the xenosteel blocks at least.

Is this not the same as ocd level 7 and are all the level things not increased with the astral member stuff? I thought it said it should be at least level 5 with that.

clarification request: the guide specifies āblocks & devicesā not āblocks and othersā
to most players, xeno steel hull blocks are considered blocks. this is the impression i have been under for many years..

patreon doesnāt increase levels for ocd, bank, recycle, or any HWS features. itās a good idea to read up on things a bit more before opening das wallet š

The Patreon benefits do not include increased OCD or EGS recycle levels, nope š
The HWS Supporter package (in [https://support.hws.global](https://support.hws.global)), which is not related to Patreon, gives OCD, EB, and EGS Stealth level 3 permanently.

At the very least it should be more clear as, I could have just scrapped the thing myself and gotten everything back. Now I am just missing everything because it makes it seem like you will get the stuff back by recycling when in reality you get back almost nothing at all.

We try to make it clear in the HWS Guide, which is always a good idea to read before using the complex HWS features š

And if you want, I still offered you the xeno back that you asked for, if you just upgrade to EGS Recycle level 5.

I do tend to read, itās just missed because there are two different recycling things OCD and this EGS recycle. I just didnāt notice the banner at the top of the structure commander page which I wasnāt looking for as, I didnāt realize they were different things. I am looking at how to upgrade the EGS recycle function now. Thank you.

Yes, thatās completely understandable. The HWS Guide can be difficult to navigate, and HWS has a steep learning curve.
EGS Recycle can be upgraded using `egs:upgrade:recycle`. The prices are also listed on the above link to the EGS Recycle page š

I think `egs:info` has the levels. But I just checked, and yep, all good.
I count 2288 xeno steel blocks. Technically youāre only supposed to get 50% with EGS Recycle level 5, but since you lost everything else, Iāll return everything.
Can you log out for 1 minute? Then Iāll put it in your inventory š
