Purpose of the garbage grinder?

[DookieDungeons]

I'm not too sure what the purpose is of the garbage grinder, is it basically just a trash can to delete items or is there more of a purpose like for example:

getting scrap metals from scrapping a canteen.
Mechanical components from attachments.

Anything i put in the grinder it just deletes with no actual gain other than getting rid of an item, was there a purpose of crafting it??

So we can throw away things that can't be repaired once their durability is depleted.

But yeah, I agree maybe we can at least get something back like things that can be used as fuel for the furnace.

Ok I understand now, so it basically is just a trash can at the moment to remove depleted weapons. There should definitely be a more refined system with this like breaking down multiple items getting parts in return, or make this it's own separate station! A grinder like in rust for example could work well for this type of game.

Indeed, that would be nice.

I just used the simple workbench to make an iron hammer and nails, t hen i constructed the Normal Workbench, and in there you can make the Metal Components (gears)

but for completeness i really think these will be cool in the game:
- shredding things for further processing, like this:

garbage bags > garbage grinder > shredded plastic > plastic moulder machine > plastic chunks :)

+
being able to put a used up iron dagger or copper dagger into the garbage grinder, and getting scrap iron and scrap copper that needs melting in the furnace would be cool :)

also being able to burn used up wooden daggers as fuel, because they are still made of wood, even if blunt or broken :)
