Editing V2026.05.22.2 (section)

=== Changelog ===

* <strong>XenoServer changes.</strong> (TheDepartedOne)
** You can again use XenoServers directly via special item modal.
** You can no longer use XenoServers to push a refinery bay past its module slot cap.
** If you already had a refinery bay with more modules than the current cap, the excess modules were removed and you were refunded what you spent.
* <strong>Refinery changes.</strong> (TheDepartedOne)
** The refinery’s per-minute Salvage output now depends only on your bay’s throughput, not on the specific item you commit. A single L1 module at normal speed produces about 1 Salvage per minute while running.
** What changes by item is how fast the bay’s committed “basket” drains. Categories now affect drain speed: <strong>Crafted</strong> items drain at 1×, <strong>Consumable</strong> items drain at 3x, <strong>Raw</strong> items at 5x. This affects the maximum committed basket duration.
** The refinery yield research nodes now reduce the category’s drain by 20% (so your basket lasts longer and you get &#126;25% more Salvage per committed BC of that category).
** Lowered the diminishing returns for each module installed, meaning crafting new modules is less punishing.
** The explicit <strong>Gear</strong> refinery category and its special research node were removed from the refinery UI and catalog. Weapons were kept refinable and are considered either <strong>Raw</strong> or <strong>Crafted</strong>.
