Compression will not change the reprocess yield of ore, the same type and amount of uncompressed ore and compressed ore will yield the same amount of materials, and thus compression only helps hauling.

== In Short: What You Need to Know ==

Compress asteroid ore in an Upwell structure (Reprocessing Service) or with an Industrial Command Ship using an Asteroid Ore Compressor ([[Porpoise]], [[Orca]], [[Rorqual]]).

Compress Ice in an Upwell structure (Reprocessing Service) or with an Industrial Command Ship using an Ice Compressor ([[Orca]], [[Rorqual]]).

Compress Mercoxit in an Upwell structure (Reprocessing Service) or with an Industrial Command Ship using a Mercoxit Compressor ([[Orca]], [[Rorqual]]).

Compress Gas with an Industrial Command Ship using a Gas Compressor ([[Porpoise]], [[Orca]], [[Rorqual]]).

Compress Moon Ore with an Industrial Command Ship using an Moon Ore Compressor ([[Orca]], [[Rorqual]]).

== Structure compressor ==

There is still a chance for players to compress their ore if one doesn't have access to a ship with a compressor. Upwell Structures with Reprocessing Service online and available (Refinery, Engineering Complex, or Citadel, NOT NPC station even if they have reprocessing service!), will allow players to compress their ores in item hangers. Simply right click ores and select "compress", and then they will be compressed and fit most haulers.

== Gas decompression ==

Gas cannot be reprocessed, and blueprints don't accept compressed gas as an input. Compressed gas can be decompressed at an [[Upwell|Upwell structure]] with a Standup Reprocessing Facility (refining service module). Gas decompression will return the gas to a form usable in industry, but will result in the loss of gas compared to the quantity held prior to compression. This loss can be decreased through the skill {{Sk|Gas Decompression Efficiency}}, and through performing decompression at a refinery type Upwell structure (Athanor or Tatara).

Gas cannot be reprocessed, and blueprints don't accept compressed gas as an input. Compressed gas can be decompressed at an [[Upwell|Upwell structure]] with a Standup Reprocessing Facility (refining service module). To do this you right-click on the gas in hangar.

This loss can be decreased through the skill {{Sk|Gas Decompression Efficiency}}, and through performing decompression at a refinery type Upwell structure (Athanor or Tatara).

A single unit of gas can be compressed but a minimum of 2 units are needed for decompression to yield anything useful, as resulting partial units are rounded down.
