== Ship based compressor ==

The [[Porpoise]], [[Orca]], and [[Rorqual]] can fit a Compressor: a high-slot module that enables compression for one type of ore. The compressor comes in different types and sizes, and they can only compress ores with the right type and can only be fitted to ships with the right size.

Line 21:

There is no limit to the count of compressor that can be fitted and active at the same time, but since a mining site only yields one category of ore, fitting more than one compressor is unnecessary as you can easily refit your ship to change a compressor type, saving the high-slot for other utility modules.

== 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).

== Batch compressed ore ==

[[File:pos_compress.gif|center]]

Prior to [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-20-03 Patch 20.03], ship based compression was exclusive to the Rorqual and there was no compressor module - the Industrial Core did the compression work. At the time, asteroid ore and Mercoxit had to be compressed in a whole batch: 100 units of ore compressed to 1 unit of compressed ore. After the introduction of 1 to 1 compression, old compressed asteroid ores are now called "Batch Compressed" ore and are no longer creatable, but can still be traded and refined.
