Alchemy was a great idea very shoddily implemented by CCP, its not worth the effort that goes into it, unless you can do it in MASSIVE amounts.

Hardly worth it then either.
To produce 100/h you need 10 reactors, no idea how many can fit on a tower, and the raw materials to feed them. That is 1000 of one type and 1000 of the other or 20 moons. I wonder which region has access to lets say 10 cadmium moons? and if you can have 10 poses on those you are probably better of reacting the cadmium with something else which you by then can easily do.
Idiotic idea, had it been about the absolute low end and at a much better ratio then perhaps it could have worked but right now hardly.
Would seriously doubt anyone is doing it.

apm, rp2, r3w, oog scanned

Next system to scan is 7-8S5X (no moons registered on dotlan, 71 moons in total, no sov) could perhaps hold something.

D4K has 85 moons not registered on dotlan but is PL sov so could be hard to get to set a pos up there.

What we should look for is: chromium, cadmium or tungsten
If someone stumbles on any of the following it would be good as well but the likelihood is almost nil: scandium, technetium or hafnium

Probably something along the lines of the corp holding the sov pos left the alliance.
I've scanned a bunch of the moons there and so far nothing of value. Two occupied and one titanium moon. Anyway will continue later on after I have some more cash again (scanning costs a bit hehe)

Lots of taken moons there, weirdly enough one taken by a container...
If that moon has something of value I wonder what PL would say if you blow it up and anchor your own tower there...

Reimburse your scan costs from the wallet - you are putting a HUGE amount of effort into this, so dont pay for your costs yourself.

I found another chrom moon. It is in 7-8S5x planet 7 moon 9 so a system that lacks sov in a non restricted constellation (centaur).
I will anchor the small pos we have there and if there are consequenses play stupid (no sov=noone to ask). I have no idea how to anchor or do anything with a pos so well..

Didn't have the skills... :/
So if anyone has the skills and appropriate role in the corp it would be great if they could anchor the pos so we don't miss this one as well.
I'll have anchoring 3 in about 18h and if it isn't anchored by then I'll try again (and hope noone has gotten sov or taken the moon)

Everything is up and running.
The basic plan right now is to go there once a week with fuel and bring back the weekly lot of chromium.
The tower uses about 10k m3 of fuel in one week and produces 6.7k m3 of chromium.

I'll get a reactor and silos etc and temporarily set up at z30. To get it working I will take the cyno gen offline. This is strictly temporary and will last until we have a active cap pilot again (either when/if red gets back or anyone else can use capitals)

We still have the issue of bringing stuff to market. Still trying to figure out a decent solution to that.

Good Idea on taking the cyno gen offline.

If you get stuck for grid at all - I'd be happy to move all my stuff from my hangar to a station and then take down my hangar too. Anything for this cause to be honest.

The cyno should be more than enough.

A little bit longer term plan is to set up a separate pos for reactions (will need a large one for a advanced reaction for example) which will allow for stuff to be onlined again.
But don't want to do that before we have jump capable cargoships in corp again (ror or JF) since we would be more dependent on regular high sec hauls.

When those plans come to fruition we will have a better base and more flexibility.
