Arrastra
A primitive rock mill of dragged boulders.
Notes
The Arrastra is a primitive rock mill that crushes ores and stones into crushed variants for further processing. It requires 10 W of mechanical power and must be placed within a power grid radius of 5 blocks from a mechanical source such as a windmill or waterwheel. Accepting Basic and Mining Basic Upgrade modules, it can be improved to reduce resource cost and craft time. This early-game crafting station is essential for processing raw ores into forms suitable for smelting or other industrial uses.
