Hey, I have a problem where recyclers are off when I'm not focused in the ship. Not consuming extra EC like others mentioned, just not recycling and soil builds up. If I'm focused on ship no soil builds up because I can process more soil than what my kerbals produce, but if I'm not focused then soil simply builds up, and they simply consume 3 snacks a day each Kerbal, with no recycling. So I either have to set up alarms, jump to each ship, and warp a bit before soil fills up, or just play without recycling, which makes it a bit dull.
