Copper Ore Crushed

Type	Crafted material
State	Loose
Transported by	U-shape Conveyor [II•III] Pickup•Truck Haul Truck (Dump)
Stored in	Loose Storage [II•III•IV] Shipyard
Created in	Crusher Crusher (Large) Designations
Used in	Arc Furnace II Blast Furnace II Designations

Copper Ore Crushed is a semi-processed loose material which is used in the late-game in the production of Copper. It is created by processing Copper Ore in a Crusher and is used in both the Blast Furnace II and Arc Furnace II.

Comparison to similar processes

Recipes utilizing Copper Ore Crushed add complexity to smelting arrays by demanding the Copper Ore first be processed into Crushed Copper Ore and requiring additional filler materials. In exchange, these recipes greatly improve the amount of Molten Copper that can be produced per unit of Copper Ore and decrease undesirable byproducts.

Copper Ore Crushed smelting in a Blast Furnace II vs Copper Ore smelting in a Blast Furnace:

−50% Copper Ore efficiency
+50% Molten Copper throughput
+2 / 20 Sand required

Copper Ore Crushed smelting in an Arc Furnace II vs Copper Ore smelting in a Blast Furnace:

−50% Copper Ore efficiency
+50% Molten Copper throughput
−87.5% Coal usage (4 Coal vs 1 Graphite)
+2 / 20 Sand required
+4 / 20 Water required
−50% Slag byproduct
−50% Exhaust byproduct
