Now we have a reason to keep lower Quality Items to Grind them and get their Resources even if it's not much but atleast we get something ;>

havent tried yet the lower quality items, you say that you can get mats back from a metal pike?

Also you don't have to craft the Industrial Grinder to Convert Wood and Stone, the main Idea i bet was to Grind Items that is left and have no much use at all.
It also wouldn't make sense if a grinder didn't grind wood or stone. Out of all the things that would get grinded, wood and stone are the first thing to come in mind.

Kind of funny people think you can only use it to make flint and thatch.

No one is saying that! We get that it's used for breaking down things! Can't you read that? Is you understanding of english that bad? I'm pretty sure people were being clear that they understood that

in this case it will be very useful, cos i throw away lots of primitive metal tools gathered by my dinos, have u tried also construction stuff, and see if it gives more than demolishing?, I wont dimolish the grinder, was about to do it ... thanks

Well.. i wouldn't suggest Grinding Constructions down, you get more of breaking them than from Grinding, approx 30% instead of 50% when breaking them. Tested and get when grinding 13 Metal Ingots and 4 Cementing Paste, when breaking - 25 Ingots and 7 Cementing Paste from a Metal Foundation.

Yeah the vanilla one is pretty good when you're playing annunaki.

The grinder is bad af. Considering the crafting cost and the fact that you only get 100 resources back (it was 50 but the rage was too hot for WC), it's useless. You can get way more stuff by using a dino.

You should get exactly the resources needed to craft the item. A mastercraft saddle cost 1000+ resources, but if you grind it you only get 100.

I can get 100 flint or stone with one swipe of my anky/doedic's tail.

Being able to convert resources to another is a great idea, but you will have to eventually go out, when you'll have converted all your wood in thatch. So you might as well go out in the first place so you don't run out of something.

I wish they added the mod instead of re-writting it, it's way better

None have said * Build it and Grind Mastercraft or Ascentant Items * It's enough when you grind Primitive or maybe also Apprentice Stuff you've found.

Welp, if you find another ascendant saddle and yours is better, why do you want to keep it ? Same goes for apprentice, you don't get the resources based on the quality which is dumb
