A POS Refinery Array will only handle a single ore at a time, so it is best to create batches of ores and only run complete batches.
Refinery Type | Max Volume | Cycle Time | Yield | Tower |
Refinery | 40,000 m3 | 60 minutes | 35% | Small |
Medium Intensive Refinery | 20,000 m3 | 90 minutes | 75% | Medium |
Intensive Refinery | 200,000 m3 | 180 minutes | 75% | Large |
The Intensive Refinery is best for serious miners, but the powergrid and CPU use requires that you have a Large POS Tower to support it. The regular Refinery should be avoided as 65% of the value of the ore is lost by using it.
