Barren Extractor Control Unit

Finding desired liquids on hostile worlds can be almost as challenging a task as extracting it from the unforgiving environment, which often entails drilling kilometers below the surface or condensing fluids from the upper atmosphere. Once the liquids are discovered, the facility itself begins the relatively simple task of separating it from the ambient plasma interference, scalding magma streams, or potentially infectious indigenous bacteria. A surprising amount of valuable liquids can be extracted from hostile worlds, but only if the equipment is properly calibrated and carefully maintained.
