Back to Stone-Age

Turn surplus masonry back into useful raw materials with The Breaker and The Breaker Mk2.

Crush stone bricks, concrete, hazard concrete, refined concrete, refined hazard concrete, stone walls, and landfill. Recover 60% of their original raw material content on average, returning stone and applicable iron or copper ore. Other ingredients are destroyed.

The Breaker has two module slots and unlocks with red and green science. The Breaker Mk2 has four module slots and unlocks with red, green, and blue science.

Both machines have a 3x3 footprint, support speed and efficiency modules, and are available before space travel. Their crafting recipes require no stone products. Vanilla recycler recipes remain unchanged.

Requires Factorio 2.0 with Space Age and Quality enabled.

The current sprites use a simple two-frame animation. Improved sprites and smoother crushing animations are planned for a future update.
