Crusher (Immersive Engineering)

The Crusher is a 3x5x3 multi-block added by Immersive Engineering. It is used for crushing Ores into Grit (Dusts), which is more efficient then normal smelting.

Construction
The Crusher is relatively complicated to make. It uses 10 Steel Scaffoldings, 11 Light Engineering Blocks, 8 Steel Fences and 9 Hoppers.



After it is fully arranged, the player must right-click the center of the front of the longer side (which should be a Steel Fence with a Hopper above it) with an Engineer's Hammer, then the multi-block is complete.



Usage
The Crusher does not have a GUI. Redstone Flux (RF) is inputted through the top of the multi-block, through the block shown below.



When a mob or item is dropped into the center pit, the crushing process will start. After a few seconds, the crushed items will be dropped out of the front-bottom-center. If there is an inventory there (like a Chest), it will simply be placed into that inventory.

When a Mob is crushed, the Crusher will kill it, and output the corresponding drop/drops. If an Ore is thrown in, the Crusher will produce two of it's corresponding Grit/Dust. If an Ingot/Gem is thrown in, it will produce just one of it's corresponding Grit/Dust. If the Crusher tries to a crush an item that cannot be processed, it will be destroyed.

The multi-block's processes can be halted via Redstone through the "control panel", the front-rightmost-center block.
