Recipes

The macerator grinds down various ores into two dust, and various ingots into one dust, including most ores/ingots/dusts registered by other mods. This is a form of ore duplication which can be accessed from the very early game!

Additionally:

  • Macerating sand yields one silicon dust per block.
  • Macerating coal yields two coal dust per block.
  • Macerating cobblestone yields one gravel per block.
  • Macerating gravel yields one flint per block.
  • Macerating dirt yields one sand per block.

Power usage

When not upgraded, the 50V/200V macerators have an internal resistance of 12.5 Ohms and 100 Ohms respectively, drawing 4 and 2 Amperes respectively. With the capacity of low and medium voltage cables, it is safe to put only up to 5 macerators on an otherwise-unoccupied circuit.

You can use a Machine Booster to speed up the Macerator, but this will come at the cost of increased power usage. Details about power usage and machine boosters can be found in the Machine Booster page.
