¶ 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 Time
The Refinery requires a nominal 48 real-life hours to construct. Bonuses and penalties can increase or decrease this time.
¶ Available Actions
| Icon | Action | Description |

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.
