Pulverizer/es: Difference between revisions

'''Pulverizers''' are a type of [[Mechanical Power|mechanism]] in Vintage Story. It is used to crush ores and minerals that are too hard to be powdered in a [[quern]].

== Creation ==

Pulverizers are made out of a pulverizer frame, a pulverizer toggle, and two capped pounders.  

Pulverizer frames hold the entire mechanism together. It is a two-block high structure. The pulverizer toggle must be placed within a pulverizer frame. Two pounders must then be attached to the frame, and capped.

=== Pounder caps ===

Pounders must be capped with a metal cap. These can be [[Smithing|smithed]] out of any [[bronze]], [[iron]], [[meteoric iron]] or [[steel]]. Both caps must be placed at the same time, and require a stack of 2 to place. Therefore, both pulverizer caps must always be made out of the same material. The tier of the metal used for the cap will determine what materials the pulverizer can process.

== Usage ==

Pulverizers are used to crush [[Gemstones#Quartz|quartz]], [[Rock|bauxite]], [[Gemstones#Olivine|olivine]] or [[Titanium|ilmenite]] for use in [[Steel Making|refractory bricks]], or for crushing [[cinnabar]] or [[lapis lazuli]] to make [[Dye|dyes]].

Pulverizers must be powered via a [[windmill]] or similar mechanism in order to function, and cannot be manually operated.

Pulverizers must be powered by windmills to automate crushing, for more info on power generation & power trains, see [[Mechanical_Power|mechanical power]].

* '''Output:''' Items will automatically be thrown out the front of the frame, opposing the pounders. To collect items, a hopper can be placed under the output area and fed into a chest, 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.
