   I picked up Oxygen Not Included this weekend thinking "oh this might be a cute Rimworld-like base builder". It... is cute, but really, Oxygen Not Included is for people (myself included) who saw cutaway diagrams of nuclear reactors as kids and thought "I want that to be a playground".

     @aphyr I was going to suggest an easy way to get to refined metals quickly... and then realised that my "easy" way still involves too many steps 😅

     Anyway yes rock crusher is good for early gam refined metals, and don't worry too much about "wasting" the ores. You'll get plenty more on most maps over time

     Also if you, like me, become hopelessly stuck toward the end of the early-game, wondering how the hell you're going to make "refined metals" without a metal refinery, eventually dying because your crops overheat...

     "Refined metals" is a *class* of materials (iron, copper, etc), not a single material. You're supposed to get by with the rock smasher until you can build refineries. 😭
