The Yield Module is a functional block for mid- to end-game.
Usage
Attached to the mount points on the back of a 
Refinery to make the Refinery extract more ingots per ore.
It's inarguably the most practical module of the three refinery upgrade modules (the others being the Speed Module and the Power Efficiency Module)
because four Yield Modules can increase a full-sized refinery's ingot output to its maximum of 200% effectiveness.
How much does effectiveness increase?
| Yield Modules | Effectiveness | 1000 kg iron ore |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 100% | 700 kg iron ingots |
| 1 | 119% | 833 kg iron ingots |
| 2 | 141% | 987 kg iron ingots |
| 3 | 168% | 1176 kg iron ingots |
| 4 | 200% | 1400kg iron ingots |
Trivia
This module was formerly known as the "Effectiveness Upgrade Module".

Construction
Like other modules, this one has a dimension of 1x1x2 (Height x Width x Depth) and is only available for large grids.
The Refinery must be suffiently powered and the module needs to have one, or two, of its mount points matched to mount points of the Refinery for it to work. If only one attachment point is matched, the resulting effect is halved. You can place one Yield Module across the mount points of two different adjacent refineries, giving half a boost to each.
