AETHUS Recipes: Complete Workbench and Refining Guide

AETHUS recipes span five primary crafting and refining structures, turning raw planetary ores, flora, and fauna into exploration gear, base upgrades, and survival consumables. Every station functions automatically once loaded with required inputs.

Refining stations process raw mineral clusters into structural plates and pure metal ingots. Once an operator takes refined items out of a station hopper, the outpost inventory system makes those materials instantly accessible to all connected fabrication tables.

Production Station Overview

Choosing the correct station depends on the mineral tier collected and the physical habitat footprint available at the outpost.

Stations automatically pull needed ingredients from connected outpost storage boxes when a build order is active. Refined items held inside output hoppers do not count toward workbench inventories until retrieved by the player.

Mineral Refining Recipes

Crushing stations and smelters break geological deposits into pure elements. Recipes execute sequentially whenever matching stock rests in the input slots.
