Industral Grinder Need Upgrade (Useless item for HUGE ammount of resources)
I dont know why this item is cost so much resources and is totally useless

Cap which u can get is 100 of each resource (Seriously?) What means u need get 30 gigas saddle i think gold one to get back ammout of ressources which u put on that Grinder.

Maybe DEV's Wanna make this item more usefull ? for example improve Cap or resources which it can give cause for now item which cost 3.5k Metal ingots is not even worth to do...

Some changes are needed...

It's not too bad, we just chuck everything we find that we dont need into it and voila free resources instead of rubbish piling up in storage. Also its fantastic at making thatch.

I agree! If you are on unofficial server with x20 rates, it's a massive grind for what it is.... but then again, if you are on x20 server, you don't need to recycle anything!

We built it on official server, recycled massive amounts (several boxes) of saddles and other stuff, and got next to nothing from it (compared to the insane costs)

if you can make an industrial grinder, what use do you have for that much thatch?

Craploads of stone walls. We built a massive 500k stone barn.

The Industrial Grinder needs to give 50% resources instead of just 25% and Polymer where appropriate instead of just Organic Polymer for everything.

Turning wood to thatch gives huge XP - we made a lvl-1 character to level 60 in under and hour that way, as far as i can tell thats the only good use for it

i making 80 lvls on 1 day on official servers without doing grinder stuff....

On scorched earth where resources is small grinder should be boosted anyway still is so many time and resources needed to craft...

Grinder is fine, what your putting into it is a waste. The grinder gives 25% back of the build cost but caps at 100 on resource returns. On SE mantis drop prods and swords like there no tomorrow... Prods give about 30 of every metal tier resource each.. Swords are also pretty good to btw.The grinder is all about knowing what to throw into it.

By yourself, or with tribe?

If by yourself, I call ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
If with tribe, helping to build constant high tier items and killing alpha raptors, carnos, and rexes by hand, I say..... Maybe.

Edit: forgot to mention in my previous post that I did that on x2 weekend.

You can march a giga/rex around half burnt island on the center map and get 8k xp/hr with rex and 15k xp/hr with giga. I got to level 80 in a day. 88 in a few days. I'm tired of making laps. If this weekend is double xp I'll be grinding to 95+

I have a sweet ass corner especially made for my Vanilla Industrial Grinder. . .

I call it the "useless" corner.

I'm on the side of return needs to be better maybe having the cap of 100 lifted to 250.

Maaannn, that thing is awesome. Beaver run with 1k weight. Doed farm, return is 3k stone. carry time, with beaver run, 30 minutes to transport, load up grinder and forge. Cook wood, and grind stone to flint, grind flint and stone to sparkpowder, holy crap at a good three to four thousand xp you can get for collecting mats and making gunpowder.

Sorry for the incoherent post. I think the OP was a troll. I got all tangled up on the stuff a grinder could do with a decent beaver and doed farm. Yeah. Doed stone farm. I'm lazy.

Sorry. I forgot to mention that I am on an official server because I am a masochist, and have ran an unofficial server for six months, and have found that my original assessment of official rates and dinos sucking was a bit overrated. There are no whiny players crying to admins to fix stuff in the game. That is a huge plus. I win or fail on my own two feet. I like it. Guess I just needed a bit of practice.
