What is the chance of recovering compressed fuel tech from ruins and what installation is it linked to? I'm assuming you can still do so as I haven't had this many ruins in a long time - I'm playing a ruin rich game at the moment and have recovered thousands of installations but have yet to uncover any tech from recovering them.

Each installation type has a specific chance of also giving tech of an appropriate type. For example, if you recover a mine, there is a 1 in 300 chance of improving mining tech. The exception is research labs, which have a 1 in 5 chance of returning a random tech. However, this is limited to the tech level of the ruin race. So if you have manage to roll for the mining tech for example and you already have equal to or better tech than the ruin race, you won't get anything.

So in the context of the original question - Would recovering a fuel refinery have a small chance of recovering compressed fuel tech?

Fuel production tech. I don't think compressed is still in the game.

The tech and components are still in the db as ruins only techs and I remember organically getting the tech years ago. There's also some stuff still in there for the "advanced" variants of weapons.

I do not recall recovering and tech directly but I have from higher tech level ruins recovered systems which are much higher tech than mine and indirectly gained tech by dissasembing those components

I believe this along with the "advanced" beam weapon variants from the VB6 days are no longer in the game, although they can be added with some light DB modding.
