"Crushes one or more inputs into one or more outputs"



The Crusher is a late game building that takes in one or two ingredients and produces one or more outputs. The recipes is automatically selected based on the inputs and so occasionally alternative recipes will be followed if one of the inputs runs out temporarily.

Unlocked[]

The Crusher is found in the Sierra sector and requires both a technology upgrade (Synthesis.Sierra.T3.Crusher) and the scanning of fragments found on Level 13 - Archive.

Crusher MKI

Note that all recipes speeds and output rates are assumed to be using Assemblers, Threshers, Smelters and Planters unless the indicated machine is limited to a higher level.

Usage[]

The Crusher is the only source of automated power in the Sierra sector, due to the lack of water and the disconnection between levels 11 and 12 of power transmitted through the Freight Elevator. Notably, if the Crusher runs a recipe that produces power, such as the crushing of Sesamite Sand, the power output will increase as the recipe is run continuously. It is unclear if this is only due to the unlock of the final Sierra tech tier (Synthesis.Sierra.T8.Crushpower+) or not. The power output and multiplier also differs depending on the recipe. Also note that the power will be displayed in MJ/min rather than kW or MW. The conversion is 60 MJ/min = 1 MW.
