The Refinery Deck is a space station deck available at various space stations. At a refinery deck, raw minerals can be refined to increase the value of the resource with each station offering different amount of profit margins for a certain mineral. It is important to choose a good "method" of refining to maximize profits and reduce downtime.
Space station with refinery decks[]
Requires updating with more specific locations. These stations are in the small asteroid clusters in the vicinity of the planets.
Refinement processing[]
Multiple different refinement methods are available to refine minerals. Duration, cost and yield is depending on the process type and the material specialization of the refinery deck. A work order is assigned to the entire cargo of vehicle, and work orders can not be split into multiple. Minerals not included in the work order are permanently lost.
Method | Speed | Cost | Yield |
---|---|---|---|
Cormack Method | High | Moderate | Low |
Dinyx Solvention | 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 |
After a work order has completed, it has to be loaded in one or more ships and sold at a trading console.
