Input and output is handled using chutes, hoppers and optionally chests. Hoppers accept multiple stacks of input items, which are then transported via chutes towards the input slot of an eligible block. A special type of chute, the Archimedes screw, can transport items upward provided it is powered.
Input and output is handled using chutes, hoppers and optionally [[Chest|chests]]. Hoppers accept multiple stacks of input items, which are then transported via chutes towards the input slot of an eligible block. Chutes can also grab items directly from chests. A special type of chute, the Archimedes screw, can transport items upward provided it is powered.

'''Chute''' ''(optional)'': <br />
Used to direct materials from hoppers into chests or other containers (or the quern itself). These blocks can be placed directionally, with the output facing away from the player. Chutes are crafted from chute sections, which need to be crafted on an anvil with copper ingots, by hand or with the help of a helve hammer. As even the straight chute needs at least two sections, a minimum of two copper ingots is necessary for one chute.

The pulverizer allows players to crush certain stones and minerals into fine powder to be used for [[Steel Making|steel making]] or [[Dye|dyes]]. There is no other way to obtain these materials. A full pulverizer setup requires a significant investment of boards and metal for the frame, toggle, pounders and caps.
