Run it on your island
Place the station and right-click it. The top row holds ingredients, middle row coal or charcoal, and bottom row output. Recipes and processing speed depend on the station, resource stage and island talents.
The Crusher processes 8 cobblestone into 8 gravel, or 8 gravel into 8 sand, for 1 fuel each. A full output row pauses processing. Special, named or enchanted items are not consumed as ordinary ingredients.
Automation supplies materials; it does not train your skills. Keep doing gathering, crafting and other eligible island work to level up.
