The **Crystal Pulverizer** is a mid-game crystal processing machine provided by AECS.
It is designed to efficiently convert ores or crystal-based raw materials into their corresponding dusts.
Functionally, it inherits the processing system of the Quartz Grindstone,
while significantly improving operating efficiency and automation capabilities.

---

## Functional Role

The Crystal Pulverizer is positioned as an upgraded replacement for the Quartz Grindstone:

- Executes the same recipe types as the Quartz Grindstone
- Designed for mid-game and later automated production environments

Under identical recipe conditions, the Crystal Pulverizer completes pulverizing operations at a much higher processing speed.

---

## Power and Efficiency

The Crystal Pulverizer supports **electric power only** and does not allow manual operation.

- Installing **Speed Cards** can greatly increase processing throughput per unit time

With multiple Speed Cards installed, the Crystal Pulverizer is capable of meeting the demands of large-scale dust production.

## Machine Characteristics

The Crystal Pulverizer has the following general machine properties:

- Supports the **[Side Configuration](side_config.md)** system
- Can automatically draw power from the connected **ME network**
- Can also receive power via external energy cables
- **Participates in channel transmission**
