Processing

When processed in a refinery, ores become resources for Crafting Materials that can be produced in the assembler.

The chart below shows the how much ore is required to produce 1 unit of resource and the time it takes to produce 10 Kg of the resource. (Update 01.039.010; Realism 1x)

Ore	Crafting Material	Ore Per 1 Unit Resource	Time(in seconds) for 10 Kg Crafting Material	1000 kg ore takes up (L)	1000 kg ore refines to (kg)	1000 kg ore refines to (L)
