This is the process by which the fullerene gases mined in wormhole space are transformed in Hybrid Polymer, which will themselves be transformed in Hybrid Tech Components (see below). The Polymer Reaction interface look like this: | |||

Compared to Tech 2 manufacturing, very little minerals are actually required to manufacture Tech 3 ships and subsystems. | ||
* Fuel blocks are also required. These can be manufactured from ice or purchased on the market. | |||

Polymer reactions are done in Refineries (Athanor and Tatara). The refinery needs a Standup Hybrid Reactor I service module online and can be rigged for material and time efficiency using T1 or T2 rigs. When looking for a suitable refinery, look in the Facility tab of the Industry window and mouse over facilities that show up in the Reactions column. You're looking for a facility that support Hybrid Polymers: | |||

Note that in this screen capture the facility is bonused, but not for Hybrid reactions. Note also the high system cost index: this will impact the job cost. The System cost index for reactions is calculated based on all reactions done in the refinery's system, not just on Hybrid reactions. | |||
The process is as for other reactions: | |||
* Choose Reaction formula | * Choose Reaction formula | ||
* Set number of runs | * Set number of runs | ||

* After run time has passed, press deliver | * After run time has passed, press deliver | ||
* Repeat as necessary | * Repeat as necessary | ||
After the reaction process the Hybrid polymer produced will typically have 40% or so of the feed materials volume, depending on the exact reaction and on the facility ME bonuses. | |||
