Grinder

B Complex scrap → base component conversion

An essential crafting station that converts complex scrap harvested whole from ocean debris into base components. A single chair, for example, converts to five units of wood - significantly more efficient than the raw log yields. The Grinder introduces the secondary layer of economic tension: retain items in their raw state for direct utility, or process them through the Grinder for higher base-component yield. Companion assistance automates the loading queue.
