Making Ore Dust
Now, keep in mind, I'm incredibly new to the game and I am just now playing without a person holding my hand to guide me. That being said, this might be part of Frackin' Universe, or might just be vanilla game thing, but I have no idea which crafting table turns ores into dusts to make into bars.
Here's an example, if you're not sure what I mean;
Copper ore -> ??? -> Copper Dust -> Primitive Furnace -> Copper Bar -> etc. etc.
Please pardon how new I am to the game, it's probably obvious and I'm just an idiot. I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out how to beam up to my ship in singeplayer, for context as to HOW new I am to the game.

Well, you started with Frackin Universe, the worst possible choice :/
It makes the game much more complicated and you might feel lost, even about vanilla mechanics
... To be honest I don't even know if there are ore dust in FU

A friend got me the game, made me get mods so we could play together. I'm adapting DECENTLY, but there's still the road-bumps xd

I'm playing right now and I don't see any ore dust, you should ask him :/

Sounds like this mod, apparently the thing that grinds ore into dust can be made at an upgraded inventor's table.

Fu does NOT change the way you process ore except adding new ones (and adding new furnaces)

The FU-system is like vanilla:
2x Copper Ore = 1 Copper Bar

FU DOES add an addition to this system:
1x Iron Bar (extracted) = 1 Liquid Iron (that can be used to make 2 Iron bars which is how FU handle smelting efficiency not to mention some processes give you liquid metals as a byproduct

Also @Arpente Reves, the idea you don't like FU due to complexity is 1 thing...but what you're saying is simply misleading....FU has it's OWN tutorial AND storyline missions AND IN ADDITION allows you to buy codexes about how to do stuff in FU at the outpost Terramarket AND giving you the first 4 volumes free on any character creation....

So the fact you cba'd to read speaks more about your own ability to handle info FU gives you than FU being overly complex. Freck; later on you can make and place monitors that will actively tell you what you will get from which materials/processes.

Dude I absolutely love FU xD
I have hundreds of hours in this mod

It's just that it's clearly not a mod made for players who barely know how to play vanilla starbound
