I figured out you can use the burner crusher until you've researched the first refining ...

I'm having some issues running it on base. The burner ore crusher doesn't seem to have a recipe assigned to it, as it gives a strange prompt "Build what?" when clicked, doesn't appear to be acting like an assembler.
