Hello! I ran into a complete inability to get crushers. This time i did my research though!

Looking up Crusher in the tech tree gives me 6 techs, all of which unlock a recipe to be used in the crusher, but no crusher recipe. I do see a recipe for Oxide Asteroid Chunks, which doesnt seem to have any uses as there is no "made in" or "used in" sections in factoripedia... or anything in it except a recipe and a "Crusher recycling" recipe. I used a lua script in the console to dump the recipes into a txt file where i found this segment:
{
"crusher",
{
{
{
amount = 113,
name = "copper-plate",
type = "item"
},
{
amount = 3,
name = "holmium-plate",
type = "item"
},
{
amount = 155,
name = "burner-mining-drill",
type = "item"
}
}
}
},

The above recipe is the exact recipe that factoripedia and the tech tree ingame tells me makes oxide asteroid chunks. I have a hunch that the recipes collided in some way and the oxide asteroid chunk overrode the crusher in some way? I also tried crafting that recipe and i did end up with an asteroid chunk in my inventory, which putting in a recycler did use the crusher recycling recipe

seed is 1243879. with bias set to default, chaos = ultimate. logi, prod, mili, extra set to more. Tech, recipes, recipe unlocks, and items all checked. 100% items randomized.

Notably, there is no recipe in the recipe dump for "oxide asteroid chunk", which furthers my hunch that they collided or something

disregard the above. didnt realize "edit" would actually just make a new response. What i added: Notably, there is no recipe in the recipe dump for "oxide asteroid chunk", which furthers my hunch that they collided or something

I'll give that a look, thanks for the settings. So, to summarize, crushers seem not to be gotten by any means?

P.S.- I think you clicked the quote rather than update button perhaps?

Yep! I've checked everywhere i could and found no way to acquire them.

and yeah i must've clicked the quote button...
