Key Takeaway
Bruce and Mickey will request that you build a Crusher. They will then give you the Blueprint to construct it.
The Crusher is a building you can unlock and build on your boat in Spiritfarer. You can use it to produce different Powders and Oils that you’ll need for cooking certain foods and getting various upgrades.

The Function of the Crusher
The Crusher is a building on your boat that you can use to crush different types of rocks and other materials. You simply put up to five of the same item into the Crusher, play the mini-game, and receive the crushed form of whatever you inserted. The following are all the items you can insert into the Crusher and what they turn into:
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| Sugar Cane | Sugar |
| Limestone | Lime Powder |
| Quartz | Silica Powder |
| Corn | Corn Flour |
| Coal | Carbon Powder |
| Sunflower Seed | Sunflower Oil |
| Comet Rock | Comet Powder |
| Olive | Olive Oil |
| Apple, Egg, or Carrot Seed | Failed Experiment |
Note that you can only craft the Failed Experiment and Corn Flour after Stanley’s quest to experiment with all the crafted buildings.
How to Unlock the Crusher
The Crusher will not be available to build right at the start of the game. To build it, you’ll need to get its Blueprint. To obtain the Blueprint, meet up with Bruce and Mickey and wait for them to mention the Smash! Smash! quest. Bruce and Mickey are located at the Southpoint Docks. However, you cannot reach them unless you’ve upgraded your boat to have the Rock Destroyer.
How to Get the Rock Destroyer Boat Upgrade
Travel to Albert’s Shipyard to get the Rock Destroyer Upgrade for your boat. You must have the following materials to complete this upgrade:
| Material | How to Acquire |
|---|---|
| 10 Aluminum Ingot | Mine Aluminum Ore from Aluminium Dragon or from one of the Turtle sisters, turn into Aluminum Ingots by using your boat’s Foundry |
| 8 Marble | Mine from Kalstein Mines or Southpoint Docks |
| 6 Fireglow | Grows from Fireglow Seeds which you can get during the Fireflies event after Gustav joins your boat |
| 2 Spirit Flower | Guide any Spirit through the Everdoor, Spirit Flower appears on their bed |
| 1,700 Glim | Sell items, collect Glim Bottles, complete requests |
How to Complete Smash! Smash!
Bruce and Mickey will eventually request that you build a Crusher. This is the Smash! Smash! quest. They will give you the Blueprint, and to complete their request, you simply need to gather the materials and build the Crusher.
How to Build the Crusher
Since the Crusher is a Production Building, you can construct more than one Crusher. Through the first four that you make, the cost will increase by the original base cost. Thus, the cost of each Crusher will be as follows:
| Copy | Pulsar Ingots | Ash Planks | Zinc Ingots |
|---|---|---|---|
| First (base cost) | 7 | 15 | 5 |
| Second | 14 | 30 | 10 |
| Third | 21 | 45 | 15 |
| Fourth and up | 28 | 60 | 20 |
Where to Get the Materials
You’ll need Pulsar Ingots, Ash Planks, and Zinc Ingots to construct Crushers on your boat.
| Material | How to Acquire |
|---|---|
| Pulsar Ingots | Collect Pulsar Ore from the Pulsar Rays Event (with help of Bruce and Mickey), turn into Pulsar Ingots by using your boat’s Foundry |
| Ash Planks | Find Ash Wood by cutting down trees on islands, turn into Ash Planks by using your boat’s Sawmill |
| Zinc Ingots | Mine Zinc from Southpoint Docks, Hidden Thicket, or Flotsam Shores, turn into Zinc Ingots by using your boat’s Foundry |
Crusher Improvement
After you’ve constructed a Crusher, you can make improvements to it. Improving your Crusher will double the amount of output you will get from the material you insert. You can improve your Crusher with the following materials:
