Before you go
- Packager and Unpackage Alumina Solution recipe unlocked
- 2 Packaged Alumina Solution per batch
Farming steps
- Place a Packager near the liquid destination and canister return route.
- Select the Unpackage Alumina Solution recipe.
- Supply Packaged Alumina Solution to the Packager input.
- Connect the liquid output to a fluid line or storage tank.
- Route Empty Canisters to storage or back to a packaging process.
- Send Alumina Solution to Aluminum Scrap production or another process that uses it.
- Check both outputs regularly so a full tank or blocked canister route does not stop the Packager.
- At 100% clock speed, the Packager consumes 120 packaged units per minute and produces 120 m³ of Alumina Solution and 120 Empty Canisters per minute.
- The standard Refinery recipe makes 12 m³ Alumina Solution and 5 Silica from 12 Bauxite and 18 m³ Water per batch.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep packaged solution arriving, clear both outputs, and return Empty Canisters if you are packaging solution again.
Common mistakes
- Expecting unpackaging to make solution from Bauxite; this recipe requires Packaged Alumina Solution.
- Ignoring the Empty Canister output until storage fills and blocks the machine.
When to stop or switch
Stop unpackaging when the liquid buffer is full or downstream production no longer needs Alumina Solution.
