Does anyone know how to make a fast refinery?

It is really slow.

Put 4 Productivity Modules on it?

What about building next to each other 40 refineries fully upgraded with modules?

[ShadedMJ]

Its a vague question, like a lot of questions.

Yes, you can put productivity modules on it, and requires more power.

Is the complaint actually mining a LOT of ore and having a backlog? Then build more refineries and more productivity modules.

Is the complaint while refining uranium and platinum? These take longer to refine than the rest of the ores. Again, productivity modules will help but it is still going to require patience.

If your are just too impatient, there are at least two other solutions: Find a mod to instantly refine ore, or find the ore-to-ingot ratio and space-master cut ore and paste ingots just to save time on a solar powered refinery system.

Yuo can also turn refinery speed up in the saved game settings if you need to. I usually use productivity modules. Most refineries I give 2 productivity modules, and 2 efficiency modules. I also have a couple that have 4 produtiviy modules for uranium and platinum. Every productivity module add about another refinery as far as speed and power consumption. So 4 productiviy modules on one refinery gives you 5x speed and 5x power requirement. I am not a builder of giant ships and stations, so I have one refinery dedicated to each mineral, and a complex(vanilla) sorting system to route everything and pull refined ores to one container.

2 refineries

You can also use an Arc Furnace if you just want ferris(Iron, Nickel, Cobalt) metals faster.

Add a thruster to refinery

[Tux]

I think they are too fast honestly.

There is no point in building multiple refineries or even using the moduals when I can have an entire cargo of ore refined in just a few mins.

Hell havlf the time its done before I can come back with more ore

No one's recommended setting the game to refine at 4x speed?

Or what that option removed?

yes I do not see that being suggested.

I think its a good idea, you should suggest it.
