That’s over 20 days of combined reactions. In order to manufacture a cerberus from raw moongoo, you’re looking at ~164*3 hours alone for the t2 component materials. If you wanted to source from raw goo rather than intermediate, you need another set of cycles:Īnother ~73 cycles. 61 total cycles for complex materials at 3 hours each. Using a cerberus as an example, you need 27 titanium carbide cycles, 10 sylramic fiber cycles, 2 cycles each of ferrogel and fullerides, 3 cycles of nanotransistors, 4 cycles of phenolic composites, 11 for nonlinear metamaterials, and 1 each of fermionic condensates and hypersynaptic fibers. In the ~6 hours it would take to get X complex material, how much would you be able to get if you did profit reactions and simply bought the resulting product you needed? The reason why it’s not good to self-source from raw moon goo is you need to account for reaction cycles. That’s all from buying at SELL PRICES for materials. With the complex reactions, profits vary from 0.20% to 41.95% profit.

As of market prices within the last 12 hours (to account for update drift), the only goo reactions that do not provide a profit (disregarding shipping costs and such) are ferrogel, nanotransistors, titanium carbide, hyperflurite, promethium mercurite, ceramic powder, and carbon polymers. Several of us who lurk in the SCC lounge HAVE done so.

You clearly have not bothered doing the math for prices then. Reaction profits aren’t that good anyway at the moment anyway unless someone’s selling stuff to you at a discount. If all he’s wanting to do is feed a tech 2 production line it totally makes sense.
