i want to say that a full set of reaction formulae (10 intermeds and 10 composites, except for the smaller stuff like ferrogel or w/e that you can get away with 5 each of) costs somewhere between 4-5b, so its a hefty investment to go from buying composites off the market to reacting your own and using them for ship production

Stereotype posted:

Don't worry about doing reactions, but you absolutely need to do components. You should focus on a specific race's ships and modules at first since each one has a different set of components and the BPOs for them aren't cheap and you should really get them to 10ME.

The reactions process goes: moon goo -> intermediates -> composites, and then the composites are what you use to build components. Once you get a handle on building components you can start reacting the composites from the intermediates, and then once you get a handle on that you can just do everything straight from goo. Each additional layer adds fractionally less to your margin since all the prices are currently fluctuating a lot and a lot of the big-time producers just have massive amounts of goo and intermediates stockpiled so they aren't as affected by the current market volatility. There are a bunch of reactions right now that actually are more expensive than just buying the products.

At the moment I have all bpo's for doctrine ships, cruisers and lower. All fully researched :ullerrm:

My initial thought was to create TII bpcs, build the T1 ships with my own mineral (either mined or reprocessed from loot) and import all the other stuff I need by creating buy orders in Jita & amarr. I was also planning on eventually making my own construction blocks since I can do PI. So I wouldn't be able to be profitable without making my own components? Or is it that the margin would be so reduced, it wouldn't really be worth it?

Another issue i'm facing is keeping track of all of this. I've been trying to create a spreadsheet for inventory/research cost/production cost/ etc etc... to make sure i can keep track of cost, but i suck at it. I only recently got jeve assets thanks to Atrum, hopefully this can help with that.

Yeah you basically don't have any margin buying components from the market. No one does it either, look at the volume on components. The BPOs are so easy to buy and upgrade that you really should just get them. Also check to make sure that you're actually saving anything building the T1 hulls yourself, since in a lot of cases you are actually spending more. For example: slasher hulls were selling for like 50% of build cost a few weeks ago for whatever reason. Remember most people building T2 stuff have been doing it for years and are both incredibly efficient at it and have vast stockpiles of everything.

Jeve Assets helps a ton to keep track of how much you paid for everything since you can easily sort through your past market orders. I try to do runs of ~20 ships and make a new spreadsheet page for each run so that I can remember how much I paid for everything so I don't accidently sell them for a loss.

When it comes to building components, do those take up manufacturing slots or something else?

Yeah they are manufacturing slots. They don't take too long to build though

also according to my sheet you're going to barely break even if you buy the components at 1DQ1 Sell prices, and probably lose money if you include invention. If you buy the composites and build your own components though you'll make ~20%

if you make it all from raw goo bought at Jita Buy prices you make 65% :)

I tried it once with a secret thrasher fleet but they must have been spying on the comms or something because they didn't take the bait. I'm not in blackops so I don't know if they are trying, but the consensus of skirmish_commanders is that if you ping for anything they'll dock up.

I did the same thing. just moved some ships out and then loaded a dst with like 3b in abyssal loot. got lucky and just gated to 1dq with no issues now that there is no bridge at all, but if I was not paying as much attention to intel and stuff I'd have probably died.

I don't think it's really viable to do all that while mining your own minerals, you can but I think you'd burn out quickly. I used to make my own PI, but I just buy it now because I am still making a profit. I think you really need to get into reactions to make a good profit with T2. It's honestly not that difficult, you are pressing sort of the same buttons as manufacturing. Start out with one of the carbine you need and go from there.

I'd also recommend going into T2 modules, because IMO doctrine ships sell slowly and it's easier to invent. You don't really need decryptors for T2 mods because the base BPC is 10 runs. Generally mods are cheaper to make then ships so the more runs out of a BPC the better. Also make sure you are building in bulk, the more runs you do at a time the more manufacturing bonus will cut down on your cost.

The spreadsheet I built starts with a sheet that list all the materials I use and their market cost. On another sheet I have all the T2 components I use, I then calculate how many materials I need and the cost to make one component. On a third page I have listed out the T2 products I make with calucations for how many components and the final cost to produce one. This way I only have to update the cost of materials and I'll know what my profits will be for what I decide to build. There is/was a way to automate getting the prices from eve market apis but I was too lazy to add that.

Don't be afraid to experiment and figure out what works for you and what doesn't. If I can make isk doing manufacturing anyone can.

if you make it all from raw goo bought at Jita Buy prices you make 65% :)

I decided to go through all my calculations again. I wanted to know exactly how much I could make by sourcing all components & minerals from Jita/Amarr if I simply bought from current sell orders.


Taking into account that I own a fully research Caracal BPO, each caracal would cost me ~14,742,578 if I build them myself, which is in line with current sell orders.
The cost of my Cerb BPC comes up to ~1,644,621 per cerberus considering I did 11 inventions, 4 of which succeeded allowing me to build up to 32 Cerbs. This includes cost of decryptors and Datacore.

Total cost of each cerberus (components + bpc + caracal) = ~178m. Cerbs currently sell for ~ 265m.

Now this does not account for logistic cost of bringing all that poo poo to 1DQ which I still have to figure out, but i'm tired and i spent all day working on Excel. Which I barely know how to use so :suicide:

Hopefully the fact that i'm in no hurry and will use buy orders to buy my components will allow me the make the first few cerbs profitable. As for the other 28, I will do as you suggested.
