Bart recycles glass anyway, though mine hasn't for a while now as he's been on event for the last 3 weeks.
Quimby and Willie have been slogging it out all by themselves, 20 glass at a time to turn in to get a stack of blueprints, one needs 20 and the other needs 50, then build it back up and get the other one.
It's a grind man.
If it ever comes back be sure to save your donuts to buy the Lil Lisa Slurry Factory and you will grind no more (it generates blueprints every 4 hours)
Already have it, managed to get it for 30 donuts from YMB without getting something I didn't want in front of it.
But it is support, not instead of it, it just does not collect enough to replace grinding, it collects 450 every 4 hours, if you collect 4 times in a day that's 1800 blueprints.
But if you can grind it 4 times a day, you could get through enough to complete 1 or even 2 sections in a day, that's 5,000 for each section, and 25,000 for all five sections 16 bits of track and 5 donuts.
5,000 or 10,000 per day blueprints permitting of course. Sometimes all 3 packages, such as Nuts And Bolts or A Large Doohickey might all require glass and I have slim or no chance of getting that much glass or they all want metal or all plastic.
But sometimes the packages of blueprints are easy. Previously I have refilled and emptied the dump twice and a bit, somewhere between 4,000 & 5,000 went through the dump in total that wasn't recycled, it just went straight to blueprints and tore through a section.
If you collected from LLRP every 4 hours, 6 times in a day, you could collect 2,700 blueprints a day, 18,900 in a week, and not get 5 donuts in a week.
Or grind it and get 5 donuts a week, sometimes I have gotten 10 in a week, but it is dependent on when I can get access which is not guaranteed, how the blueprints come out, how much materials I can get and what other jobs the characters have to do. It is not just event jobs but DC's, sure I can send Comic Book Guy or Burns on a 4hr or 8hr job, (cannot remember what jobs they are now so numbers may be wrong so don't quote me on that), and get a donut or donuts for it, which is great, but they're still not grinding and producing materials whichever way you look at it.
Just remembered, Krusty can be sent on a 4hr job Collect Franchise Tithe or whatever it is, for a donut, instead of 4 1hr tasks recycling metal.
I think there's a 300 odd blueprints for 35 metal, I generally aim to complete 25,000 by going over by a maximum of 400 blueprints, but most of the time it's 200 or less, so a small number can make a difference and get 5 donuts.
Unlike when I didn't check the total and I used a Large Doohickey about 2,000 blueprints to complete the track, I think I was less than 1,000 away, I don't like to think about it.
Been recycling last night, had 20,503 blueprints, the 3 packages were 552; 1,137; 2,000+ all wanting glass and I did not have enough.
Managed to turn in the 2,000+ and 450 from LLRP, couldn't do anymore. This morning had some more glass to turn in 1,137 + 450 from LLRP which gave me 25,018 in total, which is pretty good.
If I waited another 3 hours I would have used the 552 and gone over, so the LLRP does make a difference.
Worth getting if you can, but bear in mind how much it will cost and how long it will take to recoup its worth in donuts.
