- This article is about the Rock Raiders vehicle. For the LEGO set featuring it, see 4940 Granite Grinder.
The Granite Grinder is a large mining vehicle used by the Rock Raiders for mining. It is a large walker with a robust drill mounted on the front and two boosters on its rear end. It can use its drill to grind through rock very quickly, and its two large feet and boosters allow it to cross rubble and debris safely and easily.
Though not as large and iconic as the Chrome Crusher, the Granite Grinder still features heavily in various Rock Raiders media. It does not appear at all in the PlayStation game, however.
In the Windows game
In the Windows version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the Granite Grinder is classified as a large vehicle, and requires three Energy Crystals for power. A Rock Raider must be trained as a driver to use a Granite Grinder.
Although by default it moves at a relatively slow speed of 0.5 blocks per second, the Granite Grinder is fairly quick with drilling. Without upgrades, it takes 0.8 seconds to drill Dirt, 2 seconds to drill Loose Rock, 180 seconds (3 minutes) to drill Hard Rock, and 16 seconds to drill Seams.
Despite otherwise appearing impressive, the Granite Grinder is as slow at drilling Hard Rock as the Small Digger is. The Chrome Crusher uses the exact same drill mode, yet it can mine Hard Rock 180 times faster by default. While an upgraded Granite Grinder is far faster for mass-mining Dirt and Loose Rock than a Small Digger, in levels with a lot of of Hard Rock it may be preferable save up two more Energy Crystals to teleport down a Chrome Crusher.
Appearances
- In 7. Drilling With Vehicles, a Granite Grinder is behind the second wall the player must drill, to demonstrate how it can drill faster than Rock Raiders and the Small Digger.
Upgrades
There are three upgrades available for the Granite Grinder:
- Drill: Costs 20 pieces of Ore
Adds a second drill to the vehicle. It now only takes 0.4 second to drill Dirt, 1 seconds to drill Loose Rock, 150 seconds (2.5 minutes) to drill Hard Rock, and 8 seconds to drill Seams. - Engine: Costs 10 pieces of Ore
Adds two more boosters to the back of the vehicle, increasing the vehicle's route speed from 0.5 blocks per second to 0.8 blocks per second. - Scanner: Costs 5 pieces of Ore
Installs a radar aboard the vehicle, with a scanning radius of 5 blocks.
