Quick question - ore refining rounding

I know a lot of eve is not rounded until right at the end
Of the processes but unsure on higher yield ores.

For example scordite gives 833 tritanium per batch.

833 x 1.1 = 916.3

If I refine 10 batches, will I get 9163 tritanium or 9160?

I would assume 9160 as you are doing 10 batches. Each batch gives you 9160.

If you did one big batch instead of 10 small ones I suspect you would end up with 9163.

If only there was a way to test this in game to know for sure ...

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

I'm working away from home and I'm not allowed to put games in my work laptop, but I'm building a spreadsheet while not on eve. If you could test in game for me that would be great :)

The database says "portion size" 333 yields 833. So there is no dividing in the database like what you describe. So 10 batches get you 8330.

Yeah, this is what I did in eve iph. The refining calcs were pretty cut and dry actually. Standings and rps are a different story. Not sure of your issue since you can't refine half a batch. Are you having issues with the unrecoverable and we take columns?

I possibly wasn't as clear as I should have been. The 10% mark up I did with the calcultion was meant to be massive scordite. Basically what I want to know is massive scordite giving 916 or 916.3 per batch.

It'll be 916 IIRC. It's been a bit since I worked on my refining spreadsheet, but I vaguely remember testing it myself and getting floor(batch_amount)*batches, rather than floor(batch_amount*batches).
