There are a number of modifications that can be installed in the Cargo Bay, one being a convenience feature, and four being material processing units (hereby referred by their acronym, MPUs). MPUs process [[Ore Chunks|ore chunks]] into a powdered form. allowing them to be stored internally as [[Processed Ore|processed ore]], removing their volume from the cargo bay, but at the cost of not converting the chunk into powder with the 100% efficiency of [[Enceladus Prime|Enceladus]]. Most MPU models also provide [[Reaction Mass|remass]] recovery, allowing part of the water content of an ore chunk to be put into the [[Propellant Tank|propellant tank]] of the ship.

MPUs will not process anything that isn't an ore chunk or ringroid that enters the bay, regardless of their volatility or mineral content (lifepods, dead bodies, spent mass driver rounds, serenity torbernite crystals, etc.)

Additionally, an MPU can have their processing speed tuned by ±50%, with a nonlinear tradeoff in the efficiencies of remass and ore recovery, alongside power consumption. A slower process will increase ore recovery efficiency while decreasing remass efficiency, with the vice versa producing a higher remass efficiency with a faster process.


The galleries for the MPUs will have the roughly-approximate processing areas marked in red. Any ore chunks in these areas will be processed.

=== Cargo bay baffles ===
Price: 2,000 E$
Mass: 400 kg
<blockquote>These spring-mounted cargo bay baffles prevent accidental loss of cargo during deceleration. -In-Game Description</blockquote>Springed baffles open inwards only, but may be held open by objects when the bay is very full. Some of the very wide or odd excavator designs host a solid barrier instead of baffles.

=== Antonoff Ore Purifier ===
Price: 150,000 E$
Processing capacity: 10 kg/s
Power draw: 5 MW / chunk
Mineral processing efficiency: n/a
Remass processing efficiency: 60%
Mass: 2,800 kg
Manufacturer: Antonoff
<blockquote>The Antonoff Ore Purifier, marketed as an ecological innovation, is a refurbished iteration of the defective Rusatom-Antonoff Mineral Processing Units. The direct reactor coolant lines have been replaced with electric heating elements, allowing for increased processing volume on larger ships. While the device retains the ability to sublimate water from cargo and capture it via a cryo-ring for propellant reprocessing, Antonoff has completely removed its mineral processing functionality. The Ore Purifier boasts a larger processing area and improved efficiency, but the introduction of electric heating elements results in higher power consumption and slower processing speeds. -In-Game Description</blockquote>The Ore Purifier (OP for short) is a decently cheap equipment piece that takes the reaction mass processing of an MPU while keeping the ore chunks in the bay. Some water mass will be left over, it's not perfect, but can act as a segway to an MPU if you cannot afford one, or as an alternative to an MPU on a ship where it's uneconomical to process ore chunks (i.e. on the [[Break Bulk]] and [[K225 (modified)|modified]] Titan variants, or on the [[OCP]])

It has the largest processing area of any MPU, and in some ships is even capable of processing entire [[ringroids]]. It is also the least intrusive of any MPU, taking up the least space and purely lines the sides of the cargo bay.

It uses a combination of laser-cutting and directed microwave beams to efficiently disassemble any mineral chunk. Remass recovery is not available in this unit. -In-Game Description</blockquote>The Mitsudaya-Starbus MSU (frequently referred to by just MSU) is a unit focused purely on mineral efficiency and speed. Compared to the similar Nakamura MPU, it has a smaller processing bay and lacks any remass reclamation whatsoever, however more than makes up for it by being twice as fast at removing the water, and has a close-to-perfect mineral efficiency. The MSU is best fitted on a ship where speed of collecting minerals is a focus, or on a ship where the remass stored on the ship is enough to go without needing to get some back from minerals.

It's got a relatively low mineral efficiency, especially when compared to it's remass reclamation. It is the only dedicated MPU that can reclaim more water than mineral, and holds a very awkward layout to fit the fabrication unit that many users have reported jams on. The fabrication unit is the light on the unit, being able to print both mass driver ammunition and nanodrones from their constituent parts, albeit slowly. The fabrication unit produces 10 kg of mass driver ammunition in 4 seconds, and can produce nanodrones in a constant stream, producing 10 kg in 1.4 seconds.

The cargo bay also has the option to adjust the internal microseismic scanner's focus from -100 to 100 units in sets of 10. This adjusts the side and quality that the bay is scanned. The default focus of 0 covers the entire bay with a decent scanning resolution, a focus of 100 or -100 will cover the top or bottom (respectively) quarters of the bay with a very high resolution. Values inbetween will have the resolution skewed between the top and bottom of the bay.

Revision as of 02:38, 15 April 2025

There are a number of modifications that can be installed in the Cargo Bay, one being a convenience feature, and four being material processing units (hereby referred by their acronym, MPUs). MPUs process ore chunks into a powdered form. allowing them to be stored internally as processed ore, removing their volume from the cargo bay, but at the cost of not converting the chunk into powder with the 100% efficiency of Enceladus. Most MPU models also provide remass recovery, allowing part of the water content of an ore chunk to be put into the propellant tank of the ship.

MPUs will not process anything that isn't an ore chunk or ringroid that enters the bay, regardless of their volatility or mineral content (lifepods, dead bodies, spent mass driver rounds, serenity torbernite crystals, etc.)

Additionally, an MPU can have their processing speed tuned by ±50%, with a nonlinear tradeoff in the efficiencies of remass and ore recovery, alongside power consumption. A slower process will increase ore recovery efficiency while decreasing remass efficiency, with the vice versa producing a higher remass efficiency with a faster process.

The galleries for the MPUs will have the roughly-approximate processing areas marked in red. Any ore chunks in these areas will be processed.

Bare Bay Upgrades

Cargo bay baffles

Price: 2,000 E$ 

Mass: 400 kg

These spring-mounted cargo bay baffles prevent accidental loss of cargo during deceleration. -In-Game Description

Springed baffles open inwards only, but may be held open by objects when the bay is very full. Some of the very wide or odd excavator designs host a solid barrier instead of baffles.

Antonoff Ore Purifier

Price: 150,000 E$ 

Processing capacity: 10 kg/s
Power draw: 5 MW / chunk
Mineral processing efficiency: n/a
Remass processing efficiency: 60%
Mass: 2,800 kg
Manufacturer: Antonoff

The Antonoff Ore Purifier, marketed as an ecological innovation, is a refurbished iteration of the defective Rusatom-Antonoff Mineral Processing Units. The direct reactor coolant lines have been replaced with electric heating elements, allowing for increased processing volume on larger ships. While the device retains the ability to sublimate water from cargo and capture it via a cryo-ring for propellant reprocessing, Antonoff has completely removed its mineral processing functionality. The Ore Purifier boasts a larger processing area and improved efficiency, but the introduction of electric heating elements results in higher power consumption and slower processing speeds. -In-Game Description

The Ore Purifier (OP for short) is a decently cheap equipment piece that takes the reaction mass processing of an MPU while keeping the ore chunks in the bay. Some water mass will be left over, it's not perfect, but can act as a segway to an MPU if you cannot afford one, or as an alternative to an MPU on a ship where it's uneconomical to process ore chunks (i.e. on the Break Bulk and modified Titan variants, or on the OCP)

Mineral Processing Units (MPUs)

Rusatom-Antonoff MPU

Price: 350,000 E$ 

Processing capacity: 20 kg/s
Power draw: 2 MW / chunk
Mineral processing efficiency: 40%
Remass processing efficiency: 40%
Mass: 1,700 kg
Manufacturer: Rusatom-Antonoff

The Rusatom-Antonoff Mineral Processing Unit uses reactor heat to sublimate water content out of a large cargo volume, so that mineral content can be collected and stored. Evaporated water is collected via a cryo-ring, and can be reprocessed into propellant. This MPU boasts minimal power consumption and excellent processing reach, but the heating process is inefficient, and much of the cargo and water is lost during processing. -In-Game Description

The Rusatom-Antonoff (RA) MPU may be the slowest and least efficient (at least in mineral efficiency) MPU, however it more than makes up for it in it's versatility and cost. It has the largest processing area of any MPU, and in some ships is even capable of processing entire ringroids. It is also the least intrusive of any MPU, taking up the least space and purely lines the sides of the cargo bay.

Mitsudaya-Starbus MSU

Price: 900,000 E$ 

Processing capacity: 100 kg/s
Power draw: 150 MW / chunk
Mineral processing efficiency: 90%
Remass processing efficiency: n/a
Mass: 2,500 kg
Manufacturer: Mitsudaya-Starbus

The Mitsudaya-Starbus Mineral Smelting Unit is made for efficient mineral processing, regardless of the energy cost. It uses a combination of laser-cutting and directed microwave beams to efficiently disassemble any mineral chunk. Remass recovery is not available in this unit. -In-Game Description

The Mitsudaya-Starbus MSU (frequently referred to by just MSU) is a unit focused purely on mineral efficiency and speed. Compared to the similar Nakamura MPU, it has a smaller processing bay and lacks any remass reclamation whatsoever, however more than makes up for it by being twice as fast at removing the water, and has a close-to-perfect mineral efficiency. The MSU is best fitted on a ship where speed of collecting minerals is a focus, or on a ship where the remass stored on the ship is enough to go without needing to get some back from minerals.

Voyager RSLS Fabrication Plant

Price: 1,500,000 E$ 

Processing capacity: 40 kg/s
Power draw: 20 MW / chunk
Print power draw: 70 MW
Printing capability: drones, ammunition
Mineral processing efficiency: 50%
Remass processing efficiency: 60%
Mass: 6,000 kg
Manufacturer: Nakamura-Obonto

Designed for long range research vessels, the Voyager fabricator sacrifices cargo space to fit a fabricator inside the cargo bay, with a series of cryo-rings providing excellent propellant reclamation. This combined Mineral Processing / Rapid Selective Laser Sintering Unit by Nakamura Dynamics and Obonto Micro Engineering can resupply vanadium-hardened iron ammunition, or disposable nanodrones that use a platinum mirror array in an iron frame. -In-Game Description

The Voyager RSLS Fabrication Plant (mostly referred to by the Voyager or Fabricator) is a unit focused on sustainability rather than mining. It's got a relatively low mineral efficiency, especially when compared to it's remass reclamation. It is the only dedicated MPU that can reclaim more water than mineral, and holds a very awkward layout to fit the fabrication unit that many users have reported jams on. The fabrication unit is the light on the unit, being able to print both mass driver ammunition and nanodrones from their constituent parts, albeit slowly. The fabrication unit produces 10 kg of mass driver ammunition in 4 seconds, and can produce nanodrones in a constant stream, producing 10 kg in 1.4 seconds.

Tuning

The cargo bay also has the option to adjust the internal microseismic scanner's focus from -100 to 100 units in sets of 10. This adjusts the side and quality that the bay is scanned. The default focus of 0 covers the entire bay with a decent scanning resolution, a focus of 100 or -100 will cover the top or bottom (respectively) quarters of the bay with a very high resolution. Values inbetween will have the resolution skewed between the top and bottom of the bay.
