I've been playing too much Dyson Sphere Program lately, my first thought was "you just need to combine graphite and sulfuric acid in your chemical plant": https://dyson-sphere-program.fandom.com/wiki/Graphene https://dyson-sphere-program.fandom.com/wiki/Graphene Looks like that's sort-of a real thing? https://www.americanscientist.org/article/mass-producing-graphene https://www.americanscientist.org/article/mass-producing-gra... > Researchers at Rutgers University are making sheets of graphene out of ordinary graphite flakes and some sulfuric or nitric acid.

Always nice when games introduce you to real life concepts. Shout out to Greg Tech: New Horizons, often leading me down a wikipedia rabbit hole.

Even if you could just magically make a reel of graphene with this graphite+sulphuric acid recipe, it wouldn't help one bit in chip fabrication. You need to build things layer by layer; there's only one place where a bulk material is used, and that's the substrate.
