TODO: unrefied reactions - why - how they work

I believe they use different reagents and from what I heard long ago, the unrefined BPs were introduced to make products as there was a monopoly/short supply of the moon goo which was affecting market etc. did it as a work around. Do not think they are used much now You can safely ignore the unrefined reaction now
