(missing or bad snippet)Material Processing
Material extracted from the mine can be sent in material bins to one or more processing facilities. When calculating the optimisation value for a block, the processing facilities that produce the most profitable outcome for the block, based on the material bin to which it is allocated, will be used. See: Material Bin Processing.
