EVE Online has seen a huge improvement in the game’s structure gameplay over the past year. Huge player-made complexes called Upwell Structures became one of the game’s most successful features with the release of the Citadel expansion and the addition of new Engineering Complexes.

In a dev blog released Wednesday, developers reveal their plans to add a new batch of Upwell Structures called Refineries. The team writes:

“Refineries will be the premiere structure for resource collection and processing, with bonuses to reprocessing and the exclusive ability to fit moon mining and reaction service modules. These structures will usher in completely new gameplay for moon mining and reactions, as well as linking into future resource collection gameplay.”

Refineries will be released “when they’re done.” According to the devs, “[W]e are not planning on rushing them out before they are ready. This dev blog begins the next phase of community discussion on these features and we want to come to you with the plans early to ensure that we can incorporate the best feedback.” The team will be talking more about Refineries at the upcoming EVE Fanfest 2017.

The Council of Stellar Management is one way that the community gives the EVE Online dev team feedback on features. Watch developers and council members talk about it in the video below. You can also check out the full dev blog in the official site.
