Editing Refinery (section)

== Committing items ==

Build a deposit basket and commit it. [[Salvage]] then drips out at a steady rate until the basket is used up. You can withdraw committed items you no longer want to refine.

* '''Rate is flat.''' Which items you commit does not change how fast Salvage comes out. It changes how long the basket lasts.
* '''Item role matters.''' [[Items]] are grouped by role, and each role drains your basket at a different speed:

! Role
! What counts
! Basket drain

| Crafted
| Items with a recipe
| {{GameValue|relay.refinery.relayRefineryDrainCrafted}}
|-
| Consumable
| Pet food items
| {{GameValue|relay.refinery.relayRefineryDrainConsumable}}
|-
| Raw
| Items that cannot be crafted
| {{GameValue|relay.refinery.relayRefineryDrainRaw}}
|}
: Crafted items give the most Salvage for their value. The Raw, Crafted and Consumable Efficiency [[Relay Research|Research]] nodes reduce the drain for their role.
* '''Expensive items last longer.''' A pricier item refines for longer per unit, so one valuable crafted item produces far more Salvage than a pile of cheap materials.
* '''Not everything can be refined.''' Rare drops, lootboxes, items with boost effects and items marked as Relay-restricted cannot be committed.
* '''Longer baskets.''' Higher Module levels let a basket run longer before it needs refilling.
