Last update 13.12.2024
Refining is the process of transforming one material into another. This procedure is most often carried out in specialized refineries located on stations or colonies.
The refining process involves the following steps:
Equipment Selection
Each type of refining process requires specific equipment, such as a smelter, a mill, or a chemical laboratory.
Resource Supply
Refineries work with strictly defined raw materials, such as ore, water, or sulfur, which form the basis for producing the final product.
Energy Consumption
Each refining process requires a specific amount of energy, depending on the equipment used and the materials being processed.
Time Requirements
Refining takes varying amounts of time, influenced by technological factors and the characteristics of the star system where the refinery operates.
