MXC Oxite Dissolver · Week 250–251 current-player evidence boundary
ICARUS MXC Oxite Dissolver: Cost, Fuel, and Use
Quick Answer
The ICARUS MXC Oxite Dissolver is a portable Workshop deployable added in Week 239. Find it under the Workshop Deployables tab, spend 200 Ren to research it, then 50 Ren each time you replicate one. After landing, power it with Sulfur and supply Oxite; it fills a compatible oxygen vessel. The official update says it is more efficient than the Tier 2 Oxite Dissolver and performs on par with the Tier 3 Metal Oxite Dissolver, but its compact size means it can refill only one tank at a time. It is designed to give a fast early-drop oxygen route before you build planetary dissolvers. The saved official narrative does not publish exact processing times, Sulfur-to-Oxite ratios, tank compatibility lists, or later balance values, so use the current device interface for those fields.

Before you set out
Prerequisites#
- Use Week 239 or a later build. Week 239 is the verified release boundary for this Workshop deployable.
- Have enough Workshop currency for the two separate actions: 200 Ren to research the unlock and 50 Ren to replicate a unit.
- Bring the replicated deployable in the loadout used for the drop. Researching an item is not the same as placing a copy in the mission.
- Collect Sulfur and Oxite on the planet, plus a compatible oxygen vessel. The update confirms these roles but does not list every valid vessel or exact resource ratio.
What the MXC Oxite Dissolver actually does#
Week 239 positions the MXC Oxite Dissolver as a Workshop shortcut for the beginning of a prospect. It is a deployable rather than a handheld oxygen supply: set it up, fuel it with Sulfur, provide Oxite, and use it to fill a compatible vessel. Its value is timing. A normal planetary route asks you to unlock, craft, and place an Oxite Dissolver after landing. A replicated MXC unit can arrive with the prospector and provide a capable machine before that build-up. The comparison in the official update is precise enough to guide expectations: it is more efficient than the Tier 2 counterpart and performs on par with the Tier 3 Metal Oxite Dissolver. That statement does not mean the devices are identical. The MXC model trades capacity for portability and accepts only one tank at a time. It also does not establish numerical throughput, consumption, durability, power, or inventory values.
Route 02
Research, replicate, and use the MXC unit#
Keep the Workshop purchase, drop loadout, planetary inputs, and vessel output as four separate checks. Most confusion comes from skipping one of those boundaries.
Research it in Workshop Deployables#
Open the Workshop and locate the MXC Oxite Dissolver under Deployables. The official Week 239 cost is 200 Ren to research. Research establishes access to the item; it does not automatically create a deployable for every prospect. Confirm the current interface still shows the intended item and cost before spending, because the source does not promise that later builds cannot rebalance Workshop entries.
Replicate the unit you plan to bring#
After research, replicate a copy for 50 Ren. Treat that as a separate transaction from the 200 Ren unlock. Verify that the unit appears in the appropriate loadout or inventory state before launching. The Week 239 article calls it a Workshop item and describes taking it down with you, but it does not document every current loadout screen, return rule, insurance state, or platform-specific button.
Place it at the early-drop work area#
Deploy the MXC unit where you can safely supply resources and reach the filled vessel. Its compact portable design is the reason it exists, but portable does not mean handheld during processing. Follow the placement feedback in the live build. No minimum shelter, foundation, orientation, or pickup rule is stated in the saved narrative, so do not invent one if the current placement prompt differs.
Add Sulfur and Oxite#
Sulfur powers the deployable and Oxite supplies the oxygen conversion. Check the live slots and labels rather than assuming the layout matches a Tier 2 or Tier 3 planetary machine. The source confirms the input roles but gives no exact unit ratio, fuel duration, queue size, or conversion time. Those live values are the authoritative operational check.
Insert one compatible oxygen vessel#
The compact MXC device can refill one tank at a time. Place a vessel accepted by the current interface, start or allow the supported processing state, and verify its oxygen level after the operation. The article says “any compatible vessel,” not every container in the game. If a container is refused, preserve its exact name instead of broadening compatibility from memory.
Use the comparison for planning, not invented numbers#
Expect efficiency above the Tier 2 dissolver and performance comparable with the Tier 3 Metal Oxite Dissolver. That is a relative official comparison, not a full stat table. If you need multiple simultaneous tanks, long unattended production, or exact resource math, read the current panels and decide whether a planetary machine better fits the prospect.

Verified facts and Unknown fields#
- Verified — Workshop Deployables is the stated acquisition category.
- Verified — the Week 239 research price is 200 Ren and the replication price is 50 Ren.
- Verified — Sulfur powers the device, Oxite is processed, and a compatible vessel receives oxygen.
- Verified — efficiency is better than the Tier 2 Oxite Dissolver and performance is on par with the Tier 3 Metal Oxite Dissolver.
- Verified — the portable unit refills only one tank at a time.
- Unknown here — exact recipes or ratios, processing seconds, fuel duration, durability, shelter rules, every compatible vessel, later costs, and return behavior.
Fault ledger
If the MXC Dissolver does not fill a tank#
- The item was researched but is absent after landing
- Confirm that a copy was also replicated and included in the drop loadout. The official costs distinguish research from replication; an unlock alone is not evidence that a unit traveled with the character.
- The deployable is placed but appears idle
- Check the current slots for both Sulfur and Oxite, then verify that the live interface recognizes them. Do not guess exact quantities from this guide because the official narrative supplies roles, not ratios.
- A container will not insert
- Preserve the exact item name and check whether the current interface identifies it as a compatible oxygen vessel. “Any compatible vessel” does not mean any liquid, fuel, or gas container.
- Only one vessel can be processed
- That matches the documented compact-device limit. The comparison with Tier 3 performance does not grant a multi-tank inventory.
- A newer build shows different costs or values
- Treat Week 239 as the release boundary and the live Workshop or device panel as current. Record the build and changed field; do not force the older number onto a later interface.
Field questions
MXC Oxite Dissolver questions#
- Is the MXC Oxite Dissolver crafted on the planet?
- The Week 239 unit is a Workshop deployable: research it for 200 Ren and replicate a copy for 50 Ren, then bring that copy down. The planetary machines are separate alternatives.
- Does it need electricity?
- The saved official description says it is powered by Sulfur. It does not state an electrical connection requirement. Follow the live slots rather than adding an unsupported cable or generator step.
- Is it better than the Metal Oxite Dissolver?
- The official wording says it performs on par with the Tier 3 Metal Oxite Dissolver and is more efficient than the Tier 2 model. It also has a one-tank-at-a-time capacity boundary, so “better” depends on the current task.
- Can it fill multiple tanks at once?
- No. Week 239 explicitly says its small portable size limits it to one tank at a time.
- What exact Sulfur and Oxite ratio should I use?
- That number is not in the saved official narrative. Read the current device interface and preserve Unknown rather than copying an unverified old table.
