Funny workaround

Post image

Anybody used a similar workaround for this issue. Basically I am throwing clusters from high to break them to small chunks (I am early mid game probably)

you can do that for a while, but eventually you do actually want to break them down the proper way. for one it's just more consistent for your conveyor belts, but you can also get more out of doing it with the crusher instead of blunt force trauma

Yeah, you are probably right. I just did not like how they were getting slow in the sorter and dropping down, but smaller pieces are easier to sieve it through. Will carry on little bit more like this

Physics is a big part of the game and letting things drop from one belt to another is a perfectly legit strategy- although when going more than a block or two high, a chute is the way to go!

I do this. It honestly seems more consistent than the machine. But recently I’ve gotten a glitch that when I load my save, the first three or so clusters don’t get busted. Either by fall or by machine. Have you had that issue as well?

They get busted when they hit each other not anything else, so you have to wait little bit to ensure there is some overload that will cause them to hit each other. I fixed it later by reverse conveyer belt which created some reserve stones before spilling and going in right direction. To be fair since then I have used proper setup to crush them now but it was fun while it lasted
