Slow down the crusher cargo belt down

[salix_catus]

I agree that jumping through disposals should be a risky move, but not certain death either.

I think maybe the grinder should be replaced with something less immediate in it's destruction, like a slow moving compactor.

YES THIS.
hooked up to a computer with custom crushing variables for making different kinds of cubes.
essentially the equivalent to loafing but for materials.
put a fresh staff assistant in there and it'll come out with a cube made of bone, flesh, skin, fabric, circuitry(PDA), leather, steel (oxy tank), money and cardboard materials.
