Refinement - the must-have ladder
Liquid phase bath
Persuade a solid stack to flow, without pretending you upgraded it.
Liquid phase bathThe bath is a patient machine that argues with a solid until it agrees to become a liquid, then stops. That restraint is the whole engineering achievement.
Crews learn the distinction fast: this is transport chemistry, not promotion.
What it does
Converts solid stacks to liquid at the same tier, changing matter state only. Cycles are paced to roughly match a solid mill so solid T1 can stockpile. Requires Liquid phase transfer research plus the Solid refinery, Liquid refinery, and Solid phase press.
