Slag Without the Shuffle

A long walk to the Abandoned Processing Yard could end with Refining refusing to run, because the game wanted room for the Slag a failed attempt might leave, even when you had no use for it. That was a trap, and it hit hardest right after the walk.

Now the Slag from a failed Refined Ferrite or Galvanic Stock attempt is a bonus. You only need room for what you are actually refining. A failure still finishes the attempt, spends its ore and pays its Refining XP; the Slag is kept while there is room and thrown out where there is not.

Refining also has the Auto-discard Slag switch the Practice bench already had, and it is one setting: change it at the Yard and the bench follows, and the other way around. Turn it on and the Slag from failed attempts is thrown out. The results say when Slag was discarded, so it never looks like you are carrying something you are not.

The switch only covers the Slag a failure makes. The two Slag recipes still hand you the Slag you asked for and need room for it, and a failed Galvaferrite pour still gives back its input.
