The Alchemical Centrifuge is a wondrous invention that allows you to break essentia into its component parts.

When compound essentia flows into the centrifuge from below, it will be slowly broken down into the primal or compound essentia that it is made from. Only one of the components is created for each point of essentia broken down.

The resulting essentia needs to be drawn from the top of the centrifuge.

To use the machine, you must insert the essentia you want broken down into the bottom of the machine, then place the essentia buffer on top of the centrifuge.

Essentia Buffer[]

The Essentia Buffer is part of the routing system for essentia. It can hold a total of 8 points of Essentia at once. It however, has only 1 suction value.

You can increase the suction up to 32 by installing an arcane bellow on the sides of it. 64 suction for 2 arcane bellows and so on. By using a wand and shift right-right clicking on the connection of the essentia buffer to an Essentia tube, you can set it so that the suction becomes 1 again(blue band) or remove suction(red band) or return to original.

This allows for some nifty ways of routing essentia around.
