General
This mod adds specialized and often more in-depth processing for a few ore types, rewarded with higher yield and/or throughput.Contains derivatives (updated, rebalanced, expanded, and otherwise tweaked) of Hexicube's Stone Crusher and Uranium Centrifuge mods, with his permission as he has largely lost interest in SpaceEngineers modding, and has no immediate plans to maintain or update those mods. Credit to him for the base concept and the original models, and once again a huge thanks for his generosity in allowing me to help keep those mods alive and build on their concepts.
These blocks have both construction states and LODs, and are fully paintable.
Blocks
Blast Furnace
High-throughput (3.6x) but slightly reduced yield (80% of base refinery) for Iron, Silicon, Nickel, and Cobalt ores, similar to the old Arc Furnace. Requires a thruster component (for high operating temperatures) and is thus not available early game. Large Block Only.
Platinum Extractor
A very large, expensive, and lategame processing machine, designed to extract as much Platinum as possible from its ore, giving doubled yield. Large Block Only.
Stone Crusher
Extremely fast Stone processing, yielding large quantities of gravel and traces of iron and silicon; primarily intended for gravel acquisition, not a replacement of normal stone->metal processing. This is especially useful with concrete mods like this one. Large Block Only.
Uranium Centrifuge
Slow (50% speed) but more efficient Uranium ore processing (160% yield). Available in both grid sizes, but the small ones are slower and less power-efficient.
