Unrefined reactions replace the Ferrofluid reaction here, because that raises the chain's profit/slot/day: their product is reprocessed, and the other reprocessed materials replace purchases of later jobs or are sold. Compare with Full chain, which uses the regular reactions.

Material flow

Slot allocation

Optimal slots: 2 parallel lines sized so every job fits one 7-day cycle; the figures on this page are per steady cycle.

Start-up

One-time cycle before cycle 2, from which every cycle runs the production steps below.

Cycle 1, start-up

Runs Titanium Chromide (1 × 120 runs), Unrefined Ferrofluid (10 × 60 / 59 runs).

Unrefined Ferrofluid replaces the Ferrofluid reaction: 594 units reprocessed at 55% yield give 56,519 Hafnium (56,519 replace purchases), 23,849 Ferrofluid (23,816 used, 33 surplus).

Uses 56,519 Hafnium from the previous cycle's reprocessing in step 1.
