Dissolve ore into Aqua Regia to ship it in bulk via fluid wagons/pipes/rockets, then reconstitute it back into ore later. Optionally crystallize the dissolved ore further into a dense, barrel-free solid for maximum rocket/space platform cargo density. Works in vanilla; automatically extends to Space Exploration's special ores if SE is present, and to Space Age's new ores (tungsten-ore, calcite, holmium-ore) if the official expansion is present.

Adds the Ore Leaching Plant: a huge 7x7 building placed on an ore field that leaches the ore under its centre tile with Aqua Regia and outputs it directly as dissolved ore fluid (from Ore Liquefaction), at the same ratio as the ore's own dissolve recipe. It claims the whole connected field and drains it farthest tile first; once only the centre is left it keeps running slowly forever.
