About Shredder Plus

From mod.io

Recycle blocks into decor, ingots into lower tiers, valuables into adventurer packs, items into cattle, and more.

Shredder Plus


This mod makes the shredder drop random loot instead of scrap parts, like decorations, cattle, downgraded ingots, and more.

Works on Core Keeper 1.3+, dedicated servers, and multiplayer.

FEATURES

Shredding in Core Keeper is simple: you put something in and get some scrap and basic resources back. Shredder Plus makes it way more interesting. Instead of just scrap, you get a random reward every time. It could be a decorative item, a farm animal, a lower‑tier ingot, a seasonal piece, a potion, a weapon… you never know what will come out until the shredder finishes. Over 50 different items have their own loot tables, so there's always something new to discover.

The shredder is now easier to get. You can craft it at the basic workbench and the advanced automation table, and the recipe costs only 25 Copper Bars. You don't need to wait until you have a full base; you can start recycling as soon as you have a bit of copper.
