Reactions

Reactions in EVE Online are an advanced industrial process used to combine raw moon materials and gases into higher-value intermediate products. This activity takes place in specialized structures such as refineries, where materials like hydrocarbons, atmospheric gases, and moon ores are processed into advanced compounds used throughout the Tech II and capital production chain. Reactions are a critical step between resource extraction and final manufacturing, effectively transforming basic inputs from mining, gas harvesting, and moon mining into refined industrial building blocks.

Industrialists use reactions to create a wide range of products, from polymers and alloys to advanced composites required for ship construction and modules. The system is highly structured, with different reaction chains offering varying levels of complexity, profitability, and logistical demand. Successful reaction operations depend on efficient sourcing of raw materials, careful monitoring of market prices, and optimization of refinery bonuses and structure setups. In larger organizations, reactions often form the backbone of alliance-level industry, providing the materials needed to sustain Tech II production and maintain a competitive edge in New Eden’s economy.
