Unrefined reactions replace the Neo Mercurite 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.

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.

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

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