Plant Pulverizer
Plant Pulverizer is a Refinement building that provides an alternative way to Gassy Moo Ranching to produce Brackene by using Water and certain cultivable plants. It also extracts Phyto Oil to lubricate Bionic Duplicants
Brackene can be used to refill the Critter Fountain. Phyto Oil can lubricate Bionic Duplicants
Mechanics
The Plant Pulverizer requires Duplicant operation. It produces 20 kg of Brackene at a time or Phyto Oil and Dirt if pulverizing Slime. Note that it doesn't require Power to operate.

Usage
The Plant Pulverizer is interesting if you need only small amounts of Brackene that doesn't justify the cost of setting up a Gassy Moo Stable.
It can also be useful if you overproduce Nosh Bean, Pincha Peppernut or Sleet Wheat Grain to produce a complementary amount of Brackene rather than letting your overproduced supplies rot.
It may also be used in mid-game as a way to get Brackene earlier on and not having to wait until being able to explore space and retrieve Gassy Moos with a Biological Cargo Bay.
The Plant Pulverizer is useful in mid-game for Bionic Duplicants that need to replenish their Gear Oil as it converts Slime to Phyto Oil used in the Lubrication Station. Be aware that if the Slime contained by the building contains Slimelung germs, the transporting Duplicant, the building, and the output Phyto Oil will contain germs.
