Early game you can craft a sieve that can be used on blocks of gravel and sand in the world to break them but give a chance of different drops such as gold nuggets from sand and iron nugget from gravel. They should drop a nugget 50% of the time and the other 50% give flint from gravel and quartz from sand.
Late game there should be a machine that automates the sieving process.
Combined with a mid game cobblestone crusher that breaks cobble into gravel and gravel into sand this would be a great way to use up the masses of cobble generated by the quarry into more use full blocks.
The washer should be another mid game machine that can be used to turn dirt into mud and concrete powder into concrete automatically. Again another way to use up all the gravel and sand generated from crushing cobblestone.
