==Refining in a station==

Before you can ~~refine~~ your raw materials~~, or reprocess modules and scrap,~~ you must place the ore in your hangar at a station with a refinery, or into the cargohold of a player-owned starbase reprocessing array. Compressed ores require 1 unit to ~~refine~~, while uncompressed ores require 100 units. You cannot ~~refine~~ uncompressed ores with less than 100 units of a single type, e.g. 75 units of Veldspar cannot be combined with 25 units Dense Veldspar ~~to refine together~~. Both compressed and uncompressed ores yield the same amount of minerals per batch. All ice require 1 unit to ~~refine~~, with compressed ice simply ~~takes~~ 10x less volume (100 m3) than uncompressed ice (1,000 m3).

Before you can process your raw materials you must place the ore in your hangar at a station with a refinery, or into the cargohold of a player-owned starbase reprocessing array. Compressed ores require 1 unit to process, while uncompressed ores require 100 units. You cannot process uncompressed ores with less than 100 units of a single type, e.g. 75 units of Veldspar cannot be combined with 25 units of Dense Veldspar for processing.

To ~~refine~~, ~~you can~~ right click the item from your hanger, or drag it to ~~the~~ opened refining window. Once done, you'll have screen that looks similar to this:

To begin processing, right click the item from your hanger and select process, or drag it to an opened refining window. Once done, you'll have screen that looks similar to this:

In this example, we have approximately 120,000 units of Plagioclase ~~selected from refining~~. With 39% overall efficiency, ~~refining~~ yield will give approximately 51,850 units of Tritanium, 10,000 units of Pyerite and 51,850 units of Mexallon.

In this example, we have approximately 120,000 units of Plagioclase designated for processing. With 39% overall efficiency, the processing yield at a glance will give approximately 51,850 units of Tritanium, 10,000 units of Pyerite and 51,850 units of Mexallon.

To see more detailed information about exact yields and ~~refining~~ calculations, simply hover over any item in either the input or output window. For example, hovering over the Plagioclase in the input window shows us the following:

To see more detailed information about exact yields and calculations, simply hover over any item in either the input or output window. For example, hovering over the Plagioclase in the input window shows us the following:

* The base yield from station equipment is 32%.

* With Level V Refining skill we have a x1.15 yield increase.

To calculate this manually, or import into a tool or spreadsheet, you can use the following formula.<br />

''Station Equipment x (1 + ~~Refining~~ skill x 0.03) x (1 + ~~Refining~~ Efficiency skill x 0.02) x (1 + Ore Processing skill x 0.02) x (1 + ~~Reprocessing~~ Implant)''

''Station Equipment x (1 + Processing skill x 0.03) x (1 + Processing Efficiency skill x 0.02) x (1 + Ore Processing skill x 0.02) x (1 + Processing Implant)''
