Crafting resources
Slime Science Refinery
The Refinery stores plorts and resources as inputs for Fabricator recipes.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Slime Science Refinery
Refinery terminal at the Conservatory, below the Plort Market area; the Fabricator is nearby downstairs.
Before you go
- Access to the Conservatory Refinery and Fabricator.
- A specific gadget or upgrade recipe to work toward.
- Plorts and resource materials named by that recipe.
Farming steps
- Open the Fabricator and select the intended gadget or upgrade recipe.
- Note its required plort types and science resources.
- Collect plorts from fed slimes and harvest any missing materials with the Resource Harvester.
- Use the Refinery terminal to deposit each required input.
- Check the recipe again to see whether every requirement is available.
- Craft the item at the Fabricator once its displayed requirements are met.
- Begin another collection cycle only for inputs still needed by a different recipe.
- Deposit only materials intended for crafting; Refinery inputs are not market stock.
- Read the recipe before a field trip so you can target its named materials.
Repeat, collect and use
Depositing and crafting are repeatable for recipes you can supply. Each crafted item consumes its listed inputs; deposits themselves do not produce more materials.
Common mistakes
- Expecting the Refinery to create resources; gather the inputs in the world or through ranching.
- Selling a plort needed for a planned gadget; reserve recipe quantities first.
- Depositing a mixed haul without knowing its use; track the current recipe and its remaining inputs.
When to stop or switch
Stop depositing for a recipe when its requirements are met, craft it, and switch to the next goal rather than gathering unneeded stock.
