Stone Duster

[ignore update time, i ahev also added this to mod .io]
[New Block Added] Medium Stone Duster for small grid, its a rehash of the connector with a vent from an AirVent
Update: 2022-02-23, small grid internal capacity increased to 125L from 100L, (larger small grid version still planned). volume of sound effects lowered by approx 75%

Update: 2021-07-01, increased small grid stone duster rate by 25%, doubled large grid stone duster rate, mining is space is 10seconds mining, then you're full of mostly stone, with a little bit of the ores you wanted.

[please do not bother suggesting to add X functionality to the mod, this is just a refinery block with a different model, name, told to do only gravel and stone, and refinery efficiency set to 0. thats all this will ever be]

Stone Ejecting is dangerous for the ship, and messy for the area, and can be laggy for a server, so i present to you, 'Stone Duster', it turns your unwanted stone (and gravel) into nothing. (keep some spare gravel in a passenger seat for later use)

Sorter Block not required, it only allows stone and gravel into its internal inventory, all you need to do is have the block ON, and Use Conveyors ON and it will use a small amount of power to grind away that useless junk.

BlockLimits, the BlockPairNames...
for the identical looking ones, small and large grid: StoneDuster
the new small grid 3x3x2: StoneDusterMedium

Small grid small version uses 1kW power in idle state, 50kW when in use, small conveyor port on the back, no other inventory access, holds 100L of stone on 1x inventory, dusts the stone and gravel at approx 2x the speed that a refinery with no upgrades can refine Iron Ore, pulls in up to 10x its original 1x inventory capacity per 100 game ticks (approx 1.4 seconds) to allow compatibility with block inventory multiplier use and larger than usual mining ship builds.
(small grid Stone Duster may appear to 'choke' if using higher than 3x refining speed and 1x block inventory)

Medium version for small grid uses 1kW idle, and 150kW while working, holds 1750L and is able to keep up with 10x refinery speed. This is the best one used for small grid miners with more than 2 vanilla drills.

Large grid version uses 1kW power in idle state, 250kW when in use, Large conveyor port on the back, no other inventory access, holds 12500L of stone on 1x inventory, dusts the stone and gravel at approx 10x the speed that a refinery with no upgrades can refine Iron Ore, pulls in up to 10x its original 1x inventory capacity per 100 game ticks (approx 1.4 seconds) to allow compatibility with block inventory multiplier use and vastly larger than usual mining ship builds.

multiple Stone Dusters can be used if needed.

large grid Stone Duster speed may be adjusted based on feedback

Model is a modified KSH pre-beta ejector block, feel free to use this mod and (not so) crappy model and icons in your own mods/re-uploads, just add a 'thanks' to me and a link to here if you do :)

This is classed as a refinery block so best not to have too many on a single mining ship, and as it is classed as a refinery, the speed also goes up with the refinery speed multiplier game setting.

This was inspired by the Ore Trasher Mod (Stone Be Gone), which based on the oxygen generator model, and is awkward to fit it in small grid designs, so seeing as it would 'replace' the need for an ejector system, i thought why not use a similar model to the ejector, and smaller and slower etc, enjoy :)

To Do: Puff of smoke out the back end while it grinds the stone away :)
(stuck on a script thing)

Feel free to re-upload this mod for whatever reasons :)
just please include a thanx and link to here on your mod page, you know, the usual mod copying 'etiquette' :)

PSA: not compatible with Aww Scrap, im 99% sure there is nothing i can do about this.
