Plant Pulverizer

Plant Pulverizer
Crushes Sleet Wheat Grain or Pincha Peppernut to extract Brackene. Brackene can be used to refill the Critter Fountain.
For Duplicants who are too squeamish to milk critters.

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.

Mechanics

The Plant Pulverizer requires Duplicant operation. It produces 20 kg of Brackene at a time. Note that it doesn't require Power to operate.

Input		Result
2 Nosh Bean	18 kg Water	5.7kg/plant/cycle	20 kg Brackene
10 Sleet Wheat Grain	15 kg Water	2 kg/plant/cycle
3000 g Pincha Peppernut	17 kg Water	3.3kg/plant/cycle

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.
