When installed into a Reactor Array structure, it tells the reactor what type of material to create based on the materials being fed into it. In most cases your reactor will be connected directly to your moon harvesters, so you will need to get a Reaction Blueprint that matches the materials produced by your moon. Without a Reaction blueprint, your Reactor Array will not work.

| - | === Installing A Reaction Blueprint In Your Reactor === | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Right-click on your Reactor Array and click 'Access Resources' | ||
| - | * Drag and Drop the Reaction blueprint in that corresponds with the materials produced by your moon | ||
| - | |||
| - | You will then need to configure the process via your Control Tower before onlining the structure.. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ---- | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Configuration ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Below you will find out about the process of making a construction component (Tech 2 part) from moon mining. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Your Moon Harvesting Array mines the moon and stores the contents in your Silo. All of this must be configured via your Control Tower prior to onlining your Moon Harvesting Arrays. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Once you have surveyed a good moon, you can begin mining it with your Moon Harvester Arrays. Moons all vary in material content and abundance of content but never run out of the material they provide. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP center round info 60%> Changing Harvester and Silo type can only be done while the Moon Harvesting Array and Silo structures are offline. </WRAP> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Configure Your Harvesters: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Open your Control Tower's management panel | ||
| - | * Click to select the 'Production' tab | ||
| - | * Click 'Change type' for a Moon Harvester | ||
| - | * Select one of the available materials from the moon | ||
| - | * Click 'Apply' on the management window | ||
| - | |||
| - | The next step is configure the Silo to store the material which is being harvested from the Moon. To do this, click the 'change type' button for the destination silo, and select the Moon Material to be stored. Only one kind of material can be configured at a silo at a time. Pay close attention; the drop down list for the Moon Harvesting Array and Silo differ slightly. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Next, configure how the materials flow. Each item that can store a product will have a square outline on the left side of its entry indicating the input, while right side indicates output. **Drag** the output of the Harvester Array (which should now be a Moon Material icon) into the Input (left side slot) of your Silo. There will now be an associated colour and when you hover on the input side, the output of the connected harvesting array will high-light to visually indicate that it provides output. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Click Apply and note the time - this should be the cycle time on your control tower. After you click Apply, online your silo, and then harvester(s). | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Moon Harvesting Array will begin warming up one cycle then will start harvesting, with products appearing in the connected silo approximately two hours following the moment apply was pressed. | ||

| The Abundance of a particular material is how many cycles of a material you can potentially harvest. If a Moon offers a Material with an abundance of two, you may use multiple moon harvesting arrays to extract a total of 200 units of that material every cycle. | The Abundance of a particular material is how many cycles of a material you can potentially harvest.

| Your Moon Harvesting Arrays will mine then deposit your raw materials into the silo you specified during configuration. This will continue until you stop the process or until your Silo is full. You will need to offline the Silo before you can empty it, this is where a Coupling Array comes in handy. | Your Moon Harvesting Arrays will mine then deposit your raw materials into the silo you specified during configuration.

| - | <WRAP center round tip 60%> From the moment you press Apply at the management panel, the cycle of the Moon Harvesting Arrays and any reactors will be synchronized at that Control Tower. Note the time, and you won't need to use coupling arrays so long as you remember to not offline the silo so that it wouldn't be offline while you were yanking Moon or Reaction products from the Silo. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Silos only require 3 seconds to online though, prior to Crucible, Silos used to take 3 minutes to online. If a silo fills, the cycle may be interrupted and you might need to sit and wait until you can confirm that the cycle has not been changed. </WRAP> | ||

| - | Prior to this step, the only items you need are Silos and Harvesters. Once you decide to react them into Processed materials, you'll need to get simple or complex reactor and appropriate blueprints. | + | |

| - | |||
| - | Begin by anchoring the Reactor Array and an output silo, and then opening the Control Tower Management Panel, and select the Production tab. Drag a suitable Reaction Blueprint, and configure the input side so that the two necessary input products are available. You will also need to configure the output silo to store the product being produced by the Reactor Array. If an output silo is not configured, your output product will be destroyed and cannot be recovered. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Finally, online the Silo and then the reactor. After a warmup period, the output silo will begin to fill with the Processed Material. | ||

| - | The selection of Moon Materials available at any given moon, coupled with The CPU Requirements of the necessary POS modules make it impossible to create a T2 part from start to finish with a single POS. To create a single advanced material requires multiple POS's to obtain each material and process them. Many moons will produce two materials necessary for a Simple Reaction to complete successfully, but to complete a complex reaction generally requires two or more control towers. this requires one to carefully consider upkeep (shifting Moon and Processed materials), exporting advanced materials for sale, Importing fuel, and other critical items. | + | To create a single advanced material requires multiple refineries will need to be established to obtain each material and process them.

| - | Alternatively, the scale of a moon mining operation does not need to include Tech 2 components. Measure what stage in the process that your corp can operate comfortably at and do your best at it. If it's just you and a couple of friends in your corp, then you can run a Small Control Tower and harvest Moon Materials to sell onto to others. If you are a medium sized corp and have found a good moon, you could run Simple Reactions and produce Processed materials to Sell. If you are a large corporation and have several POS's, you could go all the way to shiny and very much sought after Tech 2 Components. | + | Alternatively, the scale of a moon mining operation does not need to include Tech 2 components.
