Stone refinery

Yavian stone refineries(also Pebble shiners in Yavian slang) were structures built on the planet Yavia by Yavian warlords. Their purpose was to break down rock using powerful gears and acids and reshape it into parts for use in construction.

Function
Stone refineries used immense gears and powerful acids to grind rocks into pebbles, then gravel, sand and finally fine dust in acidic solution. The mixture was them pumped into molds shaped as useful construction parts. The acid was then extracted and the rock pulp was crushed together under high temperature. The finished products could then be used in construction. Bi-products of this process were metals, which were also used in construction. Other bi-products could be used in the creation of Yavian putty.

Importance
Stone refineries were vital to any warlord base since stone was one of the main elements in the construction of buildings, in some cases being more important than metal.
