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.

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.

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.

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.
