When you arrive at the processor you will notice that the building itself will leave you extremely vulnerable. The sheet metal shack that houses the processing machine along with the surrounding area clear of cover or foliage to hide in will do little to stop rebels from making quick work of you. Therefore, it is advised to park your truck in the nearby tall grass in order to conceal the fact that you are processing in order to escape the notice of anyone who would bring your run to an abrupt end. You can process platinum ingots by filling your inventory with the unprocessed product and using your scroll wheel to activate the menu on the processing machinery. Fortunately, there is a bonus for processing that will incrementally give you faster progress as you process more platinum if you possess a Worker’s Protection License which will make processing a lot safer. You may also choose to process an entire vehicle full of raw materials into processed items. Players can select to process from a selected vehicle but multiple players may not process from the same vehicle. Players and vehicles must remain within 25m of the NPC in order for processing to be complete. The time taken to process the inventory of the vehicle will be displayed and canceling processing will process all items up until the point of cancellation. Buffs gained from processing will also apply to the rate at which the vehicle is processed as well.
