Unrefined reactions replace the Promethium 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.

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

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