Note that the Refining Arrays refining yield efficiency does not apply to ice ores, which are always refined at the maximum efficiency the operator is capable of. Also, if the array's control tower runs out of fuel while the array is in the middle of a processing operation, the materials being refined will be irrevocably lost. | |||

Coupling Arrays act as an intermediary holding pipe between two structures. Take for instance the Moon Harvesting Array and Silo. Since you must offline your Silo before emptying it, you may lose a cycle of raw materials. By placing a Coupling Array between the Harvester and Silo, you can safely offline the Silo while you empty it and any Raw Materials that arrive will temporarily be stored in the Coupler Array. | Coupling Arrays act as an intermediary holding pipe between two structures.

The Coupling Array is also useful for when the Harvesters and a Reactor are running/processing at different speeds. For instance, two Harvesters may produce 100 units each an hour. The Reactor may only be able to process the said units every 2 hours. This leaves you with a surplus of 100 units that will be lost in the process. A Coupling Array acts as a buffer to temporarily hold the surplus materials until the Reactor is free. | The Coupling Array is also useful for when the Harvesters and a Reactor are running/processing at different speeds.
