Infinite Materials Exploit:
In the early stages of the game you will find recycling machines that can turn unwanted items into materials that can be used for crafting. The following is a duplication exploit that only works on materials. Put the material (best in a stack of 10) that you want to duplicate into the recycle machine and split them up inside the machine. So if you put a stack of 10 in there, split them so each slot is filled with 1 of the material. You will be able to check your duplication gain on the monitor in the middle before you start recycling. Once you start the machine you will be able to collect your duplicated materials on the right.
