			==Usage==
			The Ice Crusher can be used for a number of purposes including bulk gas collection, [[fuel]] mixing, collecting drinking water, and producing breathable air.

			===Bulk Gas collection===
			Large quantaties of ice can be crushed in the Ice crusher and then pumped to a [[tank\|storage tank]] for later use. Most naturally occurring ices will have more than one constituent and the resulting gases will need to be [[Filtration\|filtered]].

			===Refilling Water Bottles Early Game===
			The ice crusher can be used to get drinkable water early on, by connecting it to a [[Water Bottle Filler]] using [[Kit (Liquid Pipe)\|Liquid Pipe]] and piping the [[Nitrogen]] out with a pump or an [[Active Vent]] to avoid blocking the ice crusher. Note however that if done inside, this could [[lead]] to [[pressure]] accumulating over [[time]], which could be dangerous if not eventually upgraded to a more robust gas handling system.
