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.

Refinery Input

This is a list of the various ores and details of their volume and how many units will fit into a Intensive Refining Array.
