Trivia
-By far the most effective way to process Zinc ore is first use a pair of Crushing Wheels, by doing this you can have an extra 30% chance to get 2 more crushed Zinc instead of the usual 1, then use Bulk Washing on the Crushed Zinc to get 10 Zinc Nuggets per Crushed Zinc and a chance to get 5 more Nuggets, then craft the nuggets into ingots with Auto Packing or crafting.
