The Blender is a late-game building used for a wide variety of late-game recipes involving both fluids and solid resources.

The color of the fluid in the blending chamber changes depending on the recipe chosen. For example, Cooling System makes the fluid blue.

Overclocking

Main article: Clock speed

The Blender can be overclocked using Power Shards. Overclocking increases the input/output speed of the Blender at the cost of exponentially increased power demand.

Clock speed	25%	50%	75%	100%	150%	200%	250%
Consumption (MW)	12	30	51.27	75	128.19	187.5	251.83

Byproducts

The Blender stops working if either of its outputs backs up, similar to a Refinery. To keep the Blender running, All its products must be constantly removed from it.

Head lift

Main article: Head lift

The Blender has a recommended head lift of 10 meters, measured from the center of its Pipeline output.

Tips

• When using the Diluted Fuel alternate recipe, a convenient production module is one Heavy Oil Residue Refinery overclocked to 112.5%, one Water Extractor underclocked to 75%, one Diluted Fuel Blender underclocked to 90%, and three Recycled Plastic or Recycled Rubber Refineries.

History

• Patch 1.0: Changed 5 Radio Control Unit cost to 10 Computer
• Patch 0.8.2.9: Some improvements to Pipe SFX causing hitches/stuttering in factories with a lot of Refineries/Blenders built
• Patch 0.8.2.0: Fixed an Audio issue leading to performance hitches in factories with Blenders
• Patch 0.4.0.0: Introduced
