Science & Industry

Hi Dedaf,

This is an absolutely fantastic tool and thank you for all your efforts and making it accessible. It's making to everyone.

A few requests on wish lists because I'm cheeky.....

1) Would it be possible to also include the 5% and 10% ore variants as well?
2) Would it possible for it to take what you have from your assets list of your API key rather than having to manually enter them?
3) I couldn't find Drone Damage Amplifier I in the blue print list for T1 Production? Sometimes the categories make it easy to find blue prints other times you're hunting around trying to find them would be be possible to be able to type them in as well as pick them from the look up lists?
4) For the productions sales costs is it possible to take into account sales tax and brokers fees? Or if not put a little statement at the top of pages where they are not taken into account. Especially if you're adding them for Capital etc?
5) Is it possible to have a blueprint tab for those industrialist who are trying to make money from reaching and copying blue prints to sell. So you can keep track of the cost of the BPO, the costs of copying, and the research costs against the cost of selling the BPC's. If not can you increase the number of blueprints you can keep in the lists for the production tabs? As if you have more than say 20 T1 productions BPO's it is pain to keep track of them separately etc.
6) Is it possible to fill in mineral amounts and planetary goods etc held form the assets list of the API key?
7) Would it be possible to have a tab which lists all your assets from the assets list and gives you what the reprocessed minerals would be and what the current avg isk price for selling the assets or reprocessing? As to help with the decision about what to do with loot but if you operate in high sec mega is in limited supply so know what to reprocess for that mineral vs buying could be quite valuable.

Thank-you so much for everything you've done with this and sorry if the above list seems ungrateful.

First i just want to make it clear that this sheet does not work in openOffice, as I see some of your questions sounds like you are unable to use the backup and update keys.



I have added my answers to your questions above, with the letters A to H, i hope that help you.

Thank you for submitting your questions and ideas
Dedaf

Thanks, i have corrected it in the newly uploaded version



This has been corrected and added in the new version.

New version 16,2,4

Recheck Hybrid Polymer Numbers Carbon-86 Epoxy Resin is off by a factor of 10. Others Unknown

Thank's for the awesome tool. I've been using it for years now mainly for T3 production. I just got latest version (16.2.6) and I can't figure out where to put my stock of T3 materials. I tried entering in the data sheet but it doesn't transfer the data to the T3 sheet. What am I missing? Thanks.

Hey Dedaf when did you changed quantity or formula on Hemorphite and Hedbergite cuz I have noticed in v.15 one glitch. Price per unit still isnt correct, here is proof http://prntscr.com/2pqupd

I'm not sure this will work with my hanger division in the wormhole POS. Am I wrong?

Nice, I got it now. Thanks for the help.

Hi Dancin Queen
I don't think there is a bug or that you are doing anything wrong.
From all the test that I have done, I have never ever had the tool select more than 4 different Blueprint for the compression. However it does not mean that using 4 different blueprints will give you a more optimal compression. Infact what i have found is that 1 or max 2 different blueprints can give you a very high compression with a very low loss of minerals.
The calculations behind the tool compression and the way it chooses the best blueprint, is a bit complex to explain. I am currently working on a manual, to try and explain how to optimize the compression.

I haven't looking in to how Sinqlaison got to the amount and type of BP, that he is using, but the numbers a pretty fixed in his examples, like station, skills, ME and minerals needed.
My tool is not fixed to any specific station refining, BP ME, production skill, refining skill or amount of minerals needed/missing, therefore you will know exactly how much you need with the selected character.

Here is an example for you to try with the Aron ME3.
In my list of blueprint i have the following (all at ME100 or more)
Bastion Module I
Multifrequency XL
Infrared XL
Fusion XL
Inferno Citadel Torpedo
800mm Repeating Artillery I
1400mm Howitzer Artillery I

To make it more clear what the tool does, i choose a transport ship with 39.000m3 (more efficient would be freighter)

The outcome from this is the following:

That is not really optimal, as you need to move almost 50% more minerals than you need for the production, and need to do a lot more hauls back, afterwards.

So how to optimize this.

In the column F7-F13 you have the option to select or deselect each mineral type.
For the given example above you should de-select the compression of Nocx and Zyd.

This will bring you down to:


You could also choose not to us the 800mm Repeating Artillery I, but use the 1400mm Howitzer Artillery I instead.
On each Blueprint, you have a check box, to select or de-select the blueprint from being used for compression.

now using the 1400mm Howitzer Artillery I and again removing the marker from the mineral Nocx and Zyd, will give you the following outcome:




Personally i like to use the Bastion Module I, as I found, it gives a more exact mineral amount after reprocessing, but you might need a few more hauls out, but often a lot less hauls back.

In this example i choose not to compress Mex, nocx & zyd


one thing my example above does not take in to account is the price of fuel for jump freighter, this can be a big factor if you need to do a lot of hauls.

I hope this makes the thoughts behind the tool a bit more clear?
If not, then you are always welcome to contact me in-game, also keep an eye out for an update of the manual, as the next version will have a guide for the compression tool.

Base yield is the stations ability to reprocess
We take is the Station tax
You will find the exact same names in-game, if you try to reprocess an item.
