FluffyKitten Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Soo, this is a weird question. Are you able to crush saddles on theisland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator Captnmorgan Posted April 18, 2018 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted April 18, 2018 NO... You can break them down for resources in the grinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyhobo Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 yep do remember when you grind them you only get like a 10th of what the maps are or 100 of each mats of the item grinded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmaFrickinBeast Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Yeah I am not sure what the rate of returned mats is, but I know that anything crafted with hard poly will yield organic poly when ground, and they cap grinder resource generation at 100 of each resource used to craft the item. So no, you're not getting 5k ing back for that Mastercraft mosa platform... IMO the grinder is a giant waste of mats unless you use it for leveling a character by grinding wood.

Flaminraptors Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 HOW do you actually get things to grind up? Keep putting saddles in my grinder but nothing happens :joy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMartian Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 pretty sure you have to right click on it and press "grind," but idk I haven't really used it much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some items can't be grinded, I think canteens and water glasses don't work for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent so much resources to build it, only to stop using it after 1 day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aushegun Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Sure wish the grinder could use all the crop plot and water glass blueprints I get from drops, and turn them into ANYTHING ... heck, even poop would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nooo you fill it with old saddles, or any extra junk you get from killing alphas and it pays you back! I have gotten probably 6-10k metal from my grinders! Who needs 35 Ramshackle picks? Keep the best (unless you have better grade) and grind the rest, profit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought of grinding the saddles, I have so many ASC Mantis saddles, etc, that I just throw them away at the drops. But now I will bring them back and grind them up. I'm such a Noob sometimes.

So collecting junk is my specialty. if it can't be sold, traded or replace my best of the same item griiiiiiiiiiiiiindeeeerrrrrrrr. In the words of efficiency it's better to recycle to reduce the cost of the future item. We hate grinding for materials so...grind what you got and gather the rest. Kind of ironic really. Grinding either way for materials lol. You'd be surprised how much you can save even with primitive junk. Reduce general material gathering and production time by 35-50% depending on how much you wanna horde. (Oh the days of elder scrolls) dropping a fridge or somethin out of a beacon to me is like tossing a pop can or something in the garbage.

Aushegun Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I used to keep everything too. I would make vaults, and just dump stuff in there I had vaults for armor, tools, ammo, weapons, etc. finally one day I realized that I was never going to use those 147 stone picks and 283 cloth shirts I had held onto.

Have a n64 I play regularly with the lady. Mario party 2 and 3. Yeeeaaah when I won't keep stone haha. Metal tools or chitin armour minimum or primitive saddles lol. Cloth and stone are dropped even to my standards so I retract my primitive item statement aha. Keeping on topics, you can grind saddles and I recommend getting a grinder for those who hoard just as bad as me lol. Call me an ark hippie REDUCE REUSE REEEECYCLLLEEE (40k scavenged stone arrows for sale anyone?) jk haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot, but still, better than nothing! (I save things like ghilli suits and other things that will give poly because it only does organic, so I save that for a time when I need poly directly) other than that all metal tools, all old saddles, any sub par xbows, all into the grinder!
