So, here some help for those who want to build an Ore Refinery on their POB.
Command is: /build refinery start Industrial Refinery
You will need:
10k Hull Panels - 15 credits per unit.
10k Industrial Materials - 7 credits per unit.
5k Robotics - 8 credits per unit from 3 of the 5 Houses (not Bretonia or Gallia, I am led to believe it is an oversight).
5k Construction Materials - 8 credits per unit from 4 of the 5 Houses (not Gallia, I am led to believe it is an oversight).
5k Optronics - 28 credits per unit in New Tokyo.
Once built, you will need the ore that you want to convert to the High Risk Commodity (HRC) + Fuel (MOX, Promethene, H-Fuel) and as an added option you can use Industrial Materials (100 at a time for a quicker turnover)
/craft list - will give you the list of the 9 Ore Refining that you can do:
Once you have done that you will need to find the number that relates to the Fuel you are using and whether you are doing a Basic or Advanced (this uses the Industrial Materials)
The command is in the case of a Gold Refinery:
/craft goldrefining list
Just change the middle word for whatever refining you are doing.
So far, I have found the list is the same for the refinings I have done. So I think it is safe to assume the numbers remain constant.
1 = Gold refining, basic [MOX]
2 = Gold refining, basic [Promethene]
3 = Gold refining, basic [H-Fuel]
4 = Gold refining, advanced [MOX]
5 = Gold refining, advanced [Promethene]
6 = Gold refining, advanced [H-Fuel]
So, if you are going to make Silver from Silver Ore, using MOX and going to be using Industrial Materials for a quicker turnover (advanced), then to start the process, the command is:
/craft silverrefining start 4
It will tell you that you need 100 Crew. This is above the Crew you already have on the Base. So a Core 4 Base will its normal 800 + 100 extra for the Refinery to operate.
The crew do not get used up, but will require FOW as does the rest of the Crew. This will mean an extra 200 FOW per day.
As long as you have the required amount of Ore, Fuel and IMs (if you are doing Advanced) then the Refinery will keep churning out the HRC and some Toxic Waste, until you tell it to stop or remove the Crew.
Note: When the Server restarts, then you will need to restart the Refining Process.
