This is the first part in a 3-step method to utilise and clear the Hardened Resin that the Hiveminds excrete around them.
The Ablator uses focussed laser energy to heat up and strip the hard surface from the resin.
Once done, a Liquifier can be used to boil and extract the inside.
You can then use a Liquid Resin Refiner to convert this to Refined Liquid Resin.
