Jaw Crusher

WorldObject

A heavy duty machine that uses compressive force to crush rocks into a fine gravel.

Notes

The Jaw Crusher is a placed crafting station that uses compressive force to turn large rocks into fine gravel, producing crushed versions of many stone types and ores. It accepts Mining Modern Upgrades and Modern Upgrades to reduce resource and labor costs, and its recipes output crushed materials at skill level 2 or 3. Because it processes raw stone and ore into a finer form, it is a key intermediate step between mining and advanced refining — stockpiling crushed materials here can keep downstream smelters and workshops running smoothly.
