 ==Summary==
-The '''Fractionator''' is a unique facility with 3 [[Conveyor Belts|conveyor belt]] ports. The input requires [[Hydrogen]], and one of the outputs will return that Hydrogen. However, 1% of the Hydrogen that is processed will instead be transformed into [[Deuterium]] and returned by the second output.
+The '''Fractionator''' is a unique facility with 3 [[Conveyor Belts|conveyor belt]] ports. The input requires [[Hydrogen]], belted in from one side, leaving through its '''opposing''' belt port. 1% of the Hydrogen that passes through will be transformed into [[Deuterium]] and needs to be belted out from the middle port.
-Each port of the Fractionator has its own purpose, but they are not labeled in-game. To figure out which port is which, orient the Fractionator such that the middle port is facing Icarus. The middle port is the Deuterium output, the left port is the Hydrogen input, and the right port is the Hydrogen output.
+Fractionators will conserve Hydrogen stacks that are passing through, with the exception of converted Hydrogen, which is removed from the pile. Hydrogen is converted individually rather than per stack, so any singular Hydrogen has the same chance to be converted. Since the total production of the fractionator directly scales with the amount of hydrogen passing through, much higher production rates will be achieved when the belt itself is faster and/or stacked. If the Hydrogen feed is proliferated the base conversion chance is increased by its speed proliferation value (up to 100% with MK3 Proliferator for a 2% chance).
-If a Fractionator receives stacked Hydrogen as input, the output Hydrogen is stacked in the same way. Hydrogen is converted individually rather than per stack, so any Hydrogen that is converted into Deuterium is simply removed from the Hydrogen stack.

+[[File:Fractionator Loop.jpg|thumb|689x689px|A loop of fractionators, Hydrogen is fed via a T-Junction that grants the loop priority, preventing clog, directly after a Piler to re-stack the belt and fill gaps created by the conversion process. This ensures good production in an easy fashion. ]]
