@Zoe, the Bad Wolf
As said by @Zed:
"In order to still be XML-only I've decided it to be less effective in other way: nutrition cost per dispense is 0.4 for microgrinder and 0.35 for minigrinder.
Big one has 0.3."

@Author,
Hi, hope you are having a great day!
I would like to ask, are the smaller grinders less effective in Food -> Paste ratio or energy consumption?

yes

Do you have to use the hoppers for these?

@Whiskey added microgrinder.

@Zed Agree, only allow it to be fed from one hopper spot. If you want to maximize the efficiency, you'll need to do some healthy micro to avoid "soft locking" the hopper with a minimal stack.

2x2's are for mid game bases, while 1x1's would be definitely for end game when power consumption isn't as big of a deal, but vulnerability to solar flares spoiling and the rush to refill.

@Whiskey, yep, I thought of it, and for a better balance it may have only one hopper slot

@Zed Any chance of an even smaller 1x1 grinder to really maximize the space usage? Can easily be balanced by keeping the same resource and power costs of MiniGrinders but even more compact.

Thank you for this mod! I can't fit the 3x3 grinder into my layout and almost had to redo the entire base. https://i.imgur.com/ce7TMQq.jpeg

@Daisuke check my other mod - Connected Bed - it makes your bases even more space efficient :)

This is nice to have for more space efficient bases so thanks, this helps putting more of them in a small amount of space where I can now fit 3 in the space where 2 of the 3x3 would be.

MiniGrinder costs ~2x cheaper but uses same amount of power.
I think VNPE author just cut vanilla Nutrient Paste Dispenser into two pieces keeping the same total size :)

Does it cost more? Or is there any reason to use the 3x3 over the 2x2?

both show up

Does this replace the original or do both show up?
