How To Unlock The Grinder In My Time At Sandrock

You can unlock the grinder by researching it at the Research Lab. Travel to the Research Centre on the southeast portion of the Sandrock map and speak to Qi the lab technician. From his interaction options click on research and you’ll be able to trade Data Disks for the ability to unlock new machinery crafting recipes. The Grinder takes three Data Disks and one in-game day to unlock from the Research Centre.

To get Data Disks you’ll have to either salvage them through scrap piles at the Eufaula Salvage Yard, buy them directly from Rocky’s shop at the Eufaula Salvage, or you can also acquire them through adventuring in the Ruins.

You can also speed up research time of these crafting specs by spending more Data Disks to do so. Although, as the research time is measured on in-game units rather than real-time, this isn’t practical to do so and you’re better off saving up your Data Disks for more crafting specs.
