Centrifuge
The centrifuge is a vital part of any estrogen production line that is used to transform filtrated horse urine into liquid estrogen. Connected through a cogwheel, it must be rotating at 256 revolutions per minute in order to function. As such, 2048 stress units will always be used while producing estrogen. However, even while liquid estrogen is not being produced, the centrifuge will still use varying amounts of stress units.
Note
The required revolutions per minute is configurable through the server. This will affect the amount of stress units the centrifuge uses when connected.

When placed on top of a fluid tank containing filtrated horse urine, beneath an empty fluid tank, and connected to a cogwheel rotating at the correct speed, the centrifuge will start to convert the filtrated horse urine into liquid estrogen. This works on a ratio of 1:1, meaning for every one millibucket of filtrated horse urine consumed, it will produce one millibucket of liquid estrogen, per tick. It can be chained with neighboring centrifuges, allowing for multiple to be connected and active in a small space. Chained centrifuges will still use 2048 stress units each.
Both the top and bottom of the centrifuge feature small fluid tanks to display the input and output fluid. Unlike conventional fluid tanks, these do not store any fluid, but rather only serve as a visual guide. To confirm that the centrifuge is set up correctly, the bottom tank should contain filtrated horse urine, while the top tank contains the newly produced liquid estrogen.
The centrifuge will always use stress units while connected, varying by rotation speed. With the engineer's goggles equipped, a warning will display upon looking at the centrifuge if it is not rotating at the correct speed. It must be spinning at exactly 256 revolutions per minute, by default, for liquid estrogen will be produced. It is not uncommon for players to slightly miss the required rotation speed, despite cogs breaking off when attempting to adjust speed ratios.
Tip
A speedometer may be useful while setting up the centrifuge!
