The Construction Paste Grinder is a machine which produces Construction Paste using garbage. It requires no power and produces 1 paste per block ground.
Usage[]
Like most machines the Construction Paste Grinder requires Hoppers for input and output. It's best used in combination with the Garbage Thief, which will remove and store unwanted Blocks into adjacent Hoppers ready to be turned into Construction Paste.
Later in the game, a Quarry is a great way to gather lots of Construction Paste due to the huge amount of natural blocks it digs up. Since Coal can also be turned into paste, mining surplus coal ore veins is a fast way to gather material for Aesthetic Blocks early on.
Upgrading[]
As the Super Construction Paste Grinder provides much more paste for a given amount of garbage, and as it is very cheap, it is recommended to upgrade before taking on large constructions projects such as rooms.
Blocks used for Construction Paste[]
