Coffee grinder vs basic mortar mill

[itsjustinyoubeezy]

the coffee grinder has "perfect precision" but every time i grind pills/sugar i get about 98.5-99.8 grams out of 100 and it makes packaging a hassle. The basic motar mill has "good" precision but gives me 50 out 50 grams every time. I Have four of them lined up ready to grind, it's easier to package, and I don't lose any product. Is the coffee grinder a bug or is it intentional? It'd be nice of the coffee grinder was improved.

Welcome to a Early Access game. It could be another, yea another bug, or could be intentional. Only the devs have that info, because there is no tutorial, or wiki, or place to get information about the game.

I think the "precision" is just how well it's ground, and loss is how well you can clean all the product from the mill. Idk if you've ever tried using a coffee grinder irl vs a mortar (I have for my morning coffee), you can get more grinds out of the mortar than you can from a coffee grinder. Although grinding coffee beans with a mortar is a PITA lol

oh yeah I've definitely used a coffee grinder in real life and it can be a mess! lol. Never used a mortar in real life so i can't speak on that. I'm just referring to the game and how the message is conveyed. if the precision is perfect I would naturally expect 100% efficiency with no loss. I know the devs have a lot on their plate but it would be nice to add that to the list.

Coffee grinder is NOT lossless. You'll lose a tiny bit every time, but the advantage is its increased capacity. If you want completely lossless you'll need to use the mortar and pestle.

I agree, it does have its perk of holding more and you do lose a bit every time which is what I was pointing out. If anything the precision label should be switched with the coffee grinder and mortar mill. For instance, if you used a basic mixing tray vs lab mixer. Would you be confused/curious if you got better results from the basic mixing tray over the lab mixer?

Hi,
[Dev. Insight] I think precision could be used to better fool the customer when you cut more than 20% or something like that, I wish it had it's importance.
[Currently ingame] It seems that the precision "attribute" has no importance yet.

Loss from intruments and what I have conclude of my experience:
My method:
Use the loss-less mortar for expensive stuff: drugs or meds.
Use the higher capacity coffee grinder for cheap stuff: Additives: washing powder and sugar
That's it, i used them on my first playthrought and in 2-3 manipulation I got to this conclusion, and i bought more mortars XD

About the electric mixer, previously 90g now 150g, with losses: It's stats make this instruments worthless to me. Except maybe the disposabilty if you get raided, cheaper mini-lab.
