# Resource Processing

Resource processing is the act of converting **base resources** into **refined materials**. 

To process resources, an Architect must:

1. Own the required tool (crafted at any rarity)
2. Equip that tool
3. Use specific resource inputs (mostly including base resources + water or coal)

#### Tool rarity and efficiency

* Each Tool rarity tier has a range of efficiency
* This defines how many base resources are needed per 1 processed output
* Lower numbers are better, indicating higher efficiency

**Example: Processing an Iron Bar with a Kiln**

| Kiln Rarity                                      | Iron needed (Range based on Quality) |
| ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
| **Common**                                       | 2.8 – 3.0                            |
| <mark style="color:green;">**Uncommon**</mark>   | 2.4 – 2.7                            |
| <mark style="color:blue;">**Rare**</mark>        | 2.0 – 2.3                            |
| <mark style="color:purple;">**Epic**</mark>      | 1.6 – 1.9                            |
| <mark style="color:orange;">**Legendary**</mark> | 1.3 – 1.5                            |
| <mark style="color:red;">**Mythic**</mark>       | 1.0 - 1.2                            |
