Space Age expansion exclusive feature.

The crusher is a building for the space platform that crushes small asteroid chunks into usable resources. To collect the asteroid chunks, they must first be grabbed by an asteroid collector. There are two types of functions the crusher has: asteroid crushing, asteroid reprocessing and advanced asteroid reprocessing.

Crushing will break the asteroid down into another usable resource, but the chunks have a moderately low chance to produce itself as the output, which can be taken out and re-added to the crusher. With reprocessing, the chunks can be reformed into different kinds of chunks, although this has a moderate chance to produce the same chunks as the output, or the chunks being lost entirely. Advanced reprocessing produces one extra type of resource compared to the standard crushing, albeit with the added cost of the asteroid chunk having a very small chance of being output, therefore it likely can't be reused.
