The refinery is used to process item and fluid mixtures. It has one item input, one fluid input, and multiple output options.
Info
Ah, the sweet smell of fractional distillation in the morning! Nothing says "progress" quite like converting crude oil into useful industrial products. Environmental concerns? That's a problem for future generations to solve!
Fractional Distillation
The refinery has 1 item input and 1 fluid input, with 1 item output and 3 fluid outputs.
By default, only the first fluid output slot is active. To enable the second and third fluid output slots, you must install Refinery Chamber Modules on top of the main block. Fluids from the 2nd and 3rd slots must be extracted directly from these modules.
Yield Mechanics
If a recipe has more fluid outputs than available slots (or modules), the internal logic repurposes the unused capacity:
- If no modules are available, the first fluid output is doubled.
- If only one module is available (2 fluid outputs active), the second fluid output amount is doubled (if applicable).
Info
The refinery has no addon slots and cannot directly be upgraded / sped up. However, check out the tainted refinery for a potentially faster and more capable variant.
