Reactions are processes through which moon ores and gases are turned into intermediate products necessary for the manufacture of [[Medical boosters|Boosters]], [[Manufacturing#Tech_II_production|T2 items/hulls]], or [[Tech_3_Production|T3 items/hulls]].

Each reaction requires a Reaction Formula, which works similarly to Blueprints but cannot be researched, copied, or invented. Furthermore, reactions can only be conducted in [[Upwell_structures#Refineries|Refineries]] that have the relevant reactor module installed. | ||

The three different reaction types in the game each have multiple steps, and the spaghetti organization of the formula inputs and outputs can be very confusing. The tables and explanations presented above may be useful for players who are committed to using reactions in their everyday gameplay. However, as a guide for those new to reactions, the following | Besides simply selling the raw materials (in the case of ninja-huffed gas, for instance), or selling the materials a player receives from reprocessing moon ores, one could use reactions in the hopes that the additional profits would outweigh the isk, hauling risk, and time required. The three different reaction types in the game each have multiple steps, and the spaghetti organization of the formula inputs and outputs can be very confusing. The tables and explanations presented above may be useful for players who are committed to using reactions in their everyday gameplay. However, as a guide for those new to reactions, the following reference tables are provided to make some sense out of the chaos. | ||
