[NPC]

How can you make a refinery? like to make gravel or basic materials?

[chima]

lol i wish

No, you can't make a refinery, although we all wish we could. You have to go to one of the preset ones on the map. Look for the Hammer Icon in some cities, not every one.

The buildings that are preset in the world are the Town Bases, Relic Bases, Factories/Mass Production Factories, Refineries, Garages, Storage Depots, Coastal Guns, Rocket Launch Sites, Shipyards, Seaports, Bridges, Engineering Centers, Salvage Mines (not the stationary harvesters, those you can place) and Border Bases if I am correct.

safe houses, border bases, town defense mortars, garrison houses, and observation towers

you also need a refinery near a storage depot or seaport or you're gonna have a bad time - because crates (yea you can pull your own as crates in to a shipping container, but not anyone else's - private stashes = near instant pull times too vs public)

If you meant an oil refinery that's a completely different thing altogether and would be a facility not a refinery (because siege camp).

You CAN build an Oil Refinery or a Coal Refinery but they don't produce Basic Materials(Bmats) or anything that a regular Refinery does. One of the upgrades for a Coal Refinery produces sulfur as a byproduct. A Metalworks Factory with a Recycler upgrade turns broken components into Components but you can't produce Refined Materials(Rmats) anywhere else but a regular Refinery

that sucks. Why are there so few refineries?

NPC Refineries are by far the most powerful and impactful facility on the map. They define which zones are self sustaining, where the main logi routes are, and are key targets for nukes.

So yeah, players can't build those.

Oil refineries share a disturbingly similar name, but are part of the new facilities and logi chains.

To balance out the game

A mobile mini refinery would be hilarious.
