Category:Refined Resource

For the purposes of this category, a Refined Resource is raw mined ore which has been processed by a refining terminal at a station. A refined resource (e.g. pure metals, gases, crystals, or hydrocarbons) will usually have far greater worth than an unrefined ore.

While you normally need refined resources to make Components that are needed for the construction of ship equipment, note that this is not always the case. Some items actually require the raw ore instead — so before you refine, check in the Net-7 Database to make sure the raw ore isn't needed for anything, because once you refine something, you can't un-refine it!
