Macerator

INFO

A machine that grinds items into dust.

About

The macerator grinds ores into two dust and ingots into one dust. It also works with most ores, ingots, and dusts from other mods. This is a type of ore duplication available early in the game.

Other uses:

• Sand gives one silicon dust.
• Coal gives two coal dust.
• Cobblestone gives one gravel.
• Gravel gives one flint.
• Dirt gives one sand.

Power Usage

Without upgrades, the 50V macerator has a resistance of 12.5 ohms and uses 4 Amperes. The 200V macerator has a resistance of 100 ohms and uses 2 Amperes. Because of the limits of low voltage and medium voltage cables, you should only place up to 5 macerators on one circuit that has no other machines.

Upgrades

You can add a Machine Booster to make the machine faster, but this increases power use.
