Recipe-less Crushers?

Hello,

Angel, first just want to say your mods and great and I find the attention to detail in graphics and structure especially impressive. Thank you for sharing your hard work and adding new depth and challenges to an already challenging game. :)

I have a question regarding ore crushing. Have you considered and/or would it be possible to make Ore Crushers act like smelters in that they don't require a recipe to function? That is, they automatically crush ore according to whatever is put in them. This would make it possible to build shared Ore Crushing facilities that handle all types of ore.

I think this change would open up a new challenge, allowing players to build a more compact ore crushing facility with fewer crushers, but would have to use circuits, filter inserters, etc to separate products. Of course, folks could still build bigger, simpler setups as they do today.

he tried that a while back. one of the problems was you couldn't do shared ore belts for mixed sorting anymore. He did also recipe-less sorters but that was even worse if you tryed mixed.
