Slag Centrifuge

Slag Centrifuge is a production building that converts slag and sand into Gallium. It functions as a GenericCrafter with a compact 3×3 footprint and requires electrical power to operate. The block is not assigned to any specific planet and is marked as debug-only in visibility, so it is not normally available through standard progression.

The building consumes sand and large quantities of slag to produce Gallium. Each crafting cycle takes 120 ticks (2 seconds) and yields 2 Gallium per cycle. Inputs per cycle are 1 Sand and 80 Slag, plus power. The Slag Centrifuge has an item storage capacity of 10 and a liquid capacity of 80.

Practical and technical details:

• Size: 3×3.
• Craft time: 120 ticks (2 s).
• Inputs: Sand ×1 / cycle, Slag ×80 / cycle, and power.
• Output: Gallium ×2 / cycle.
• Item capacity: 10.
• Liquid capacity: 80.
• Build requirements: Graphite ×60, Silicon ×40, Oxide ×40, Carbide ×70.
• Upstream resources: Slag and Sand.
• Downstream product: Gallium.
• Building type: GenericCrafter.
• Building ID: #211. English internal id: slag-centrifuge.
• Visibility: debug only (not normally available in standard play).

Operational notes and context:

• The Slag Centrifuge is specialized for turning waste slag into a valuable liquid resource, providing a way to convert large amounts of slag plus a small amount of sand into Gallium for advanced production chains.
• Because it consumes a high ratio of slag per cycle, it is best used when you have abundant slag or dedicated slag-processing infrastructure; feeding it efficiently requires conveyors or pumps that can handle large throughput of slag items.
• Gallium produced is useful for later-stage crafting and liquid-based processes; place the Slag Centrifuge near storage or piping networks that accept liquids to avoid bottlenecks in its liquid output.
• Historically, the Slag Centrifuge formerly produced Scrap in the Erekir tileset during earlier development; this output was changed during the development of the v7 build.
