Fragmenting Ores

A Fragment Forge improves ore yield by breaking ores into clumps and small clumps.

Nine small clumps combine into one clump, and those clumps can then be processed in a Centrifuge into dusts and small dusts for smelting.

If you have silk touch, it is often worth placing the ore blocks directly into the forge instead of feeding raw ore items.

Fragmenting also matters for byproducts. Nickel processing, for example, is one of the main early sources of platinum.
