Frequently Asked Questions

What does a refiner do?+
Refiners process raw ores into more valuable materials, applying multipliers that increase sell price.
Which refiner should I get first?+
Start with the Mineral Washer at Blueprint Level 1, then upgrade to the Coal Smelter.
Are premium refiners worth it?+
Yes, premium refiners offer the best multipliers in the game and are worth the investment for late-game players.
Can I chain refiners together?+
Yes! Chaining refiners with conveyor belts maximizes ore value. Feed drill output into refiners, then into forges, then to sell.
