| Mechanical power is a mechanic that allows for the powering of different machinery through the harnessing of renewable energy (such as wind) via structures such as the windmill. Currently, it can be used to automate querns for milling, helve hammers to work iron blooms or smith metal plates, and pulverizers to crush materials into their powdered form. | | Mechanical power is a mechanic that allows for the powering of different machinery through the harnessing of renewable energy (such as wind) via structures such as the windmill.

| Although it can be used to power a single machine, with a series of axle and gear connections, you can make what’s called a power train. This allows for the connection of multiple machinery at a time, working in tandem. | | Although it can be used to power a single machine, with a series of axle and gear connections, you can make what’s called a power train.

| |
| The pulverizer must be powered by connecting the incoming axle on the left or right lower block of the frame structure. The toggle needs to be placed in the lower frame block. The pulverizer takes up a total of 4 blocks vertically, two for the frame itself and two more for the moving pounders.<br>
| |
| The pulverizer pounders need to be placed in the frame block, and both have to be placed for the machine to work. After placing them, pounder caps of varying strengths - depending on the metal they are made of - can be attached. To add the caps, the player needs to have two cap items in their inventory in one stack, then {{Using|put}} the pounders with that stack. When changing caps, the previously used ones will be returned to the player.<br>
| |
| [[Bauxite| Bauxite]] stones, [[quartz]] and [[olivine]] bits and [[ilmenite]] chunks can be placed two at a time under the pounders. The powdered materials will be thrown out at the block side opposite to the pounders. Please not that Ilmenite can only be crushed with pounders equipped with steel caps.

| | 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. |
| * Input: Placing a hopper above an elbow chute leading into the front side of the frame, where the two pounders are located, will insert items into the input slots of the pulverizer. Note that a hopper drops items slowly - to speed the process up, replace the hopper with a chest directly above the elbow chute leading into the front side.
| |
| * Output: Items will automatically be thrown out the back side of the frame, opposite of the two pounders. To collect items, hoppers can be fed into chests, or into a system of chutes to direct output to one chest. Place at the level of the block supporting the pulverizer, not next to the side of the frame block itself. If the hopper, or any block for that matter, is placed next to the back side of the pulverizer, this placement will block the normal output slot, and the items will instead be thrown out to the two blocks to the right and left of the block behind the frame block. To optimize the automated output, leave the block directly behind the lower frame block open, place blocks to the left and right and a hopper below. This way, the items thrown out cannot deviate to the side and will instead fall into the hopper.
