Stone Crusher

The Stone Crusher, will help you crush all the blocks mined in your world enabling you to further process them, untill you finally have some usable resources.

Setup Procedure
Do not connect your Stone Crusher to live wires before checking that all required components have been added. Failure to comply will result in your crusher overworking and exploding.

Stone Crusher can be powered by the Gen T100 without any problems and will only be using a 5th of the Gen T100 output. The Stone Crusher uses the following components: Screws, Gears, Shaft, Oil and Coolant.

Maintenance
You need to perform maintenance on the Stone Crusher within 240 mins of running time. To perform maintenance use the Factory Wrench and right click on the machine and check the Gui to see where the current maintenance level is at.

If by accident or out of laziness you forgot to maintain your crusher and the maintenance reach 0 the components will gradually start to break down starting with the screws, followed by the gears and lastly the shaft. During this time you can still fix your crusher by using the Factory Wrench on the crusher and then either replace the lost components or use the required tool to fix the screws, gears or shaft.

The components can only be fixed if their damage level has not dropped below 0

Oil and Coolant does not have to be maintain, but will leak out if your machine has not been properly maintain and after fixing your crusher ensure that the oil and coolant levels are sufficient for operations.

A warning light will come on inside the GUI if attention is required.

Additionally your machines status will affect it's working speeds, so keep your Stone Crusher in tip top condition for maximum performance. The following variations will affect your machines work speed:

In addition to the variable above your machine will also loose power when it's maintenance timer decreases and by the time your maintenance is below < 50 the Stone Crusher operation time on crushing will dramatically increase.

Operations Procedure
Stone Crusher has 4 Crusher built in and can crush 4 different blocks at the same time. you can manually feed your crusher by placing the blocks into any of the 4 slots at the top.

You can also use the conveyors to feed your Stone Crusher automatically, however the Stone Crusher will not accept any items until you have placed a small container to one of it's sides. Once that has been done the Stone Crusher will grab any blocks or items fed by the conveyor and will move the excess items or blocks into the small container and pull them from there when needed.

The Stone Crusher will dispense crushed blocks at the back and if you have conveyors, onto the conveyor for further transport. If any item or block ends up inside the Stone Crushers or the small container that can't be crushed those items will just be dispensed and not crushed. Just be careful because some of the items might be destroyed by the crusher.

Common uses for the Stone Crusher would be to crush Ore Blocks into smaller pieces called Ore Dirt the ore Dirt can then be transported to the Ore Shaker where the dirt is removed from the Ore leaving you with the Ore. It can also crush Sand blocks into crushed sand and has many other uses.

Machine Removal
To remove your Stone Crusher safely use a Pipe Wrench, if by the thunder luck of a miner you decide to use a pick axe you will destroy your machine and only get Scrap Metal back. You will also not be able to remove the machine if your maintenance level is below 200 mins. A warning will inform you that you cannot remove the Stone Crusher and you will need to fix the crusher with a Factory Wrench first before attempting to remove it again.

Working
When your Stone Crusher received enough electricity to operate a green light will come on inside the Gui. At this time you won't hear or see anything until you start feeding your crusher. You will hear the crushing sound and see the crushers working. If your maintenance level is below zero and your components starts to break down, the sound will change to inform you and smoke will start to rise from your machine. Once your Gears have broken flames will erupt from your crusher and at this point you need to run or quickly start fixing your crusher.

Please remember maintenance starts decreasing the moment you connect it to power.
