Refinement - the must-have ladder

Gas refinery

Quiet columns, loud consequences - refined gas powers the engines and systems that win chases.

Gas refinery

A healthy gas refinery looks almost asleep. That silence is the sound of your future travel budget being topped up. Higher-tier gas is what advanced engines, range modules, and the finicky components of fast travel quietly insist on.

This is end-game industrial posture dressed as plumbing. Skip the distillation ladder and your ships stay slow, short-legged, and easy to corner. Feed it, and the map suddenly gets smaller for everyone else.

What it does

Raises the tier of gas stacks while keeping them gas. Requires Gas processing research plus Solid and Liquid refineries. Gates the Plasma refinery and the Component vault. Higher gas tiers unlock better propulsion and long-range travel hardware.
