QOL-Tweaks: OrePulverizer is a Vintage Story mod by Mr1k3. QOL-Tweaks: OrePulverizer lets you crush normal and crystallized ores for extra nuggets, with tool-cap requirements based on ore tier.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits players who want the pulverizer to have a practical role in ore processing and gain a little more metal from each batch. It is also useful for anyone who prefers a smoother alternative to repeated hammer crafting.
What QOL-Tweaks: OrePulverizer adds
The mod adds ore crushing to the pulverizer for both regular and crystallized ore variants. Compared with breaking ore in the crafting grid using a hammer, the pulverizer produces a better nugget yield: every supported ore gives at least one additional nugget, while some types provide two extra.
Processing still follows progression rules. The pulverizer must have a cap of the appropriate tier for the material, so iron ore requires iron caps rather than allowing an early-game machine to handle it freely.
The added outputs are reflected in ore descriptions, making it easier to check what a material will produce before processing it. For certain pulverized materials, nuggets can also be hammered in the crafting grid to resolve conflicts with existing dust recipes; materials such as olivine continue to require the pulverizer.
