Home > Production > Plants > Thresher
Classified pulverizer separates flora and other substances into materials for fuel and production. Requires electricity.
The Thresher converts a single input material into 1 or more output materials, via a process called "threshing". It forms a core part of many production systems of simple and more advanced materials, as well as providing options for improving existing production flows e.g. the threshing of 
Iron Ore into 
Iron Ore Powder to achieve a higher ratio of ore to ingots.
Obtaining[]
Unlocking[]
Access to Thresher's requires unlocking and researching the Thresher technology (synthesis - PT LIMA - T4 - Thresher). Unlocking the technology requires scanner a single thresher Fragment with the 
Scanner. Thresher fragments can be found in the storage area on Level 3 - Storage, immediately across from the Freight Elevator.
Then, the technology needs to be researched using 2 x 
Research Core 380nm (Purple).

Usage[]
The Thresher takes a single input material for all its recipes. Many of those recipes give multiple output products however. The use of 
Filter Inserter's to direct specific outputs to specific belts is highly recommended.
A Thresher requires 400 kW of power to operate at its regular speed.
Research[]
A single Thresher and 6 
Kindlevine Stems is required to unlock T2 of Production Terminal Victor.

Upgrades[]
Through the tech tree, the Thresher has a number of upgrade options, including increasing its speed (how quickly it completes a given recipe) and its power consumption. Like many machines, there is 
Thresher MKII which doubles output at the expense of doubled input. However, this allows for fewer machines required to produce the same amount of output, compared to MK1 threshers.
