EVE Online - Manufacturing Boosters

Guide to Booster Production



The process:

- Find gas cloud. Best info is that these are LADAR sites and spawn certainly in 0.0 COSMOS constellations and apparently in non-COSMOS areas in the same region

- Harvest the gas cloud. This requires a Gas Harvester module and the Gas Cloud Harvesting skill. This gives you with a Cytoserin compound

-- The base module is known to be offered as a reward from some 0.0 COSMOS missions at least some of the time.

-- The meta versions are bugged - their skill requirement is set to "Gas Harvesting", which doesn't exist.

-- The skill is known to be offered as a reward from some 0.0 COSMOS missions at least some of the time

- React the compound. This requires a Medium Biochemical Reactor Array (POS array). These are empire-seeded. It also requires the requisite reaction. This gives you a pure booster

-- Reactions can be found in certain 0.0 exploration sites which are believed to be COSMOS constellation-only

- Manufacture the booster. This requires the right blueprint and pure booster compound, as well as usually some additional commodity. It presumably requires the Drug Manufacturing skill. Presumably it can be done in the seeded Drug Lab POS module; it's also been suggested that it can be done in player outposts.

-- Blueprint copies can be found in certain 0.0 exploration sites which are believed to be COSMOS constellation-only

There are two further classes of booster. The Improved versions require an Improved reaction and both the pure standard booster in question and a pure booster compound which is believed to be from an adjacent COSMOS constellation, plus a commodity. The Strong versions require a Strong reaction, the pure improved booster in question and a pure standard compound which is believed to be from the COSMOS constellation opposite it on the map, plus a commodity. It is assumed that both reactions require a Biochemical Reactor. Both obviously also require the relevant BPC.


In summary, to make a standard booster, you need:
-Gas cloud
-Harvester module
-Harvester skill
-Medium Biochem reactor
-Standard booster reaction
-Drug Manufacturing skill
-Booster blueprint
