Hi,

Ore-Refinery makes sense. There is ore and there is steel. The Ore-Refinery converts the ore into steel.

But what are gold-refinery and aluminium-refinery doing? There is not gold ore or aliminium ore resources. or golden steel or aliuminium steel. So nothing to convert.

But what are gold-refinery and aluminium-refinery doing? I didnt understand it yet. But playing the game now only for two days or so.

Gold refinery takes crude gold ore and turns into usable gold you need for construction.
Same with the Aluminum refinery.

Yes, that's also what the ingame description says.

Problem is: I never saw two different kind of gold resources in the resource list. Could you maybe post the icons for those two resources?

I assumed, that my gold vehicles just transport gold from the gold ores to the raw material deposits, and these gold resources then can be directly used for constructing anything that needs gold. That's at least what I used to watch... But maybe I've been observing something wrong.

No, I think you are right, basically aluminum and gold refineries just store them, they don't really convert them. For instance, I've been able to collect and build with aluminim without ever building an Al refinery. The gold refinery is early game tech (for humans, at least) so maybe it has to be built before you can get the mint? Not sure. You raise a good point.

I wonder about this too. I have a quite big colony and almost 700k gold with just 1 gold refinery.
