¶ Refinery
The Refinery is a production chain building used for refining raw materials into refined materials.
Refinery processes may have several different output products.
¶ Construction Supplies
600,000 kg Cement
300,000 kg Steel Beam
200,000 kg Steel Sheet
2 kg Platinum
12 × Fluids Automation Module
2 × Solids Automation Module
2 × Avionics Module
16 × Power Module
4 × Thermal Module
¶ Construction Time
The Refinery requires a base 48 h to construct at 24× time acceleration. Bonuses and penalties can change this time. Transport time is additional.
¶ Available Actions
| Icon | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|

Refine Materials | Begin refining products into different products. |

Deconstruct | Deconstruct the Refinery. A Refinery construction site is created and 90%+ of the construction supplies are returned, but rounded down to the nearest whole unit. |
¶ Secondary Outputs
The Refinery is unique among production chain buildings in that its processes may often have multiple different output products. This reflects the basic fact that chemical reactions often create several byproducts. When setting up a refining process, the primary output must be selected; all of the other outputs are then called secondary outputs. 100% of the stated amount of the primary output will be produced, while a significantly reduced amount of the secondary outputs will be created. That amount may be raised by having more Scientists on the Crew performing the refining.
