Ore Mill

Ore Mill

The ore mill converts earth and ore into some more useful materials. While available, the early conversion from ore to rock is not recommended unless absolutely needed. Generally, rock nor boulders are needed in early game. Medium sized rocks, however, become very important as soon as you start needing to build with bricks. These guys can come directly from earth though, so it's probably better to save ore for later - when you hit level 10.

At level 10, various buildings unlock and you can start processing metal stuff. Now all that ore will be converted into rock and metal, whereas beforehand it was just rock. You will want metal... Once you hit L10, it may be worth doubling up and having a dedicated metal producer and a dedicated brush producer if you find yourself still needing a source of brush.

Recipes

Level Available Output Input Work Scales with level
1 2 Rock 1 Ore 80 Yes
1 4 Brush, 1 (M) Rock 1 Earth 40 Yes
10 1 Metal, 1 Rock 1 Ore 400 Yes

Scales with level - that means that for each level beyond the recipe, everything scales. So for example, at level 5, it would take 5 earth to produce 20 brush and 5 (M) rocks for 200 work. At level 11, it will take 2 ore and 800 work to produce 2 metal and 2 rocks. This ensures that higher level villagers are doing an appropriate amount of work to improve their XP (and keeps excessive processing down - thereby improving battery).
