The game is supposed to migrate things like that (including the recyclers - it's complicated, but stuff with them changed in the background), but it seems there may have been an issue with some of the migration from 0.4.1 to 0.4.5. I've put a fix into the next update (v0.4.5.11, should be coming out tomorrow) which should sort the recycler issue. I'll need to look into the Take Food/Water problem.
