Refining
The Refinery Deck allows Citizens to refine mined ores and salvaged construction materials. The refining process is done through work orders, which can be dispatched at refining terminals located in the processing center.
When interacting with the terminal, a suitable vehicle with mined ore can be selected, which then allows the player to select which stored ores they want to refine, and what refining method to use. Before requesting a quote of the generated yield, cost and time, the work order and refining method must be confirmed. Different refining methods have different durations, costs and yield associated with them.
- +: Method Speed Cost Yield
- Cormack Method: High Moderate Low
- Dinyx Solventation: Very low Low High
- Electrostarolysis: Moderate Moderate Moderate
- Ferron Exchange: Low Moderate High
- Gaskin Process: High High Moderate
- Kazen Winnowing: Moderate Low Low
- Pyrometric Chromalysis: Low High High
- Thermonatic Deposition: Low Low Moderate
- XCR Reaction: High High Low
Once a work order has been completed, the refined materials will need to be loaded into one or multiple ships. After which they can be sold at a Trading Console
Refinery specializations
Different Refinery decks will be specialized at refining certain minerals. Or be worse at refining a specific mineral.
Vehicle renting
All current Refinery decks are also equipped with equipment rental terminals allowing Citizens to rent a select few vehicles.
These terminals can be found in the store section of the Refinery deck.
Store
The Refinery deck also has a store located on the premises. The store generally sells some basic amenities like OxyPens, flight suits, (mining) armor and the Pyro RYT Multi-Tool with attachments.
The store also sells Mining laser modules for ships, and Mining gadgets.
