The macerator is a machine that grinds things.

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.

Note that Machine Upgrades will affect the current draw. TODO: Describe the effect of machine upgrades.
