Is it just me, or are the mining isk/hour off? it's only saying 19m/hour for prime ark.

I have been using this program for a while and love it! It is great, easy to use and very helpful for quick reference. A few things that would be nice to add though, excuse my noobnish if thee things can be done. Being a heavy inventor with ships and rigs the invention calf does not have an option for full run or single run bpc's for decypters that increase copy runs. Also I don't know if the invention cost updates to full or partial run bpc's which had quite a large price effect.
Secondly when you are making a material list or checking how much it costs to make a t2 item or even t1 it would be great if you could choose the sub items you would like to buy or make on the bpo for better eff% and iph and proper material lists

Did you figure this out? I'm getting 91m per hour with Jita prices.


On the full runs and single runs, you can set this up in the settings or you can change it manually on the 'Copies' tab under the 'Calc' tab for invention. I might add in the settings the max run for mods with/without decryptors and min runs/max runs for ships without/with decryptors like on the manufacturing tab soon though since it comes up a bit and should be consistent. But the invention costs will take all the copy data into account when set, including POS costs if you choose to include them.

On the build vs buy items, check the 'Calculate Optimal' button to see what it suggests. I don't have a way to let you choose them (this might be something to look at) but this compares if it is cheaper to buy them or build them and gets to your question I think.


Thanks for the checks on the SVR data. I get the average from EVE Marketeer, so yes it should be a number that responds to how much you can build vs. the average volume over the days you select. But you are right and found an error in my logic that misses this. Right now it just calculates how many items you can build with 1 line, not the total lines you have available. I'll add logic for this if I can. It's a bit complicated.

Not sure on the second point but SVR is just a way to look at market demand vs. your production potential (minus lines as you brought up). So if you can build 100 items in a day and the market really only sells 50 items in a day, then you probably don't want to build that item.

SVR * IPH was a logical way for me to figure out what item can I make the most per hour and will have the highest demand. So yeah if you could build the amount that is sold per day you could corner the market but then again I probably wouldn't do it because any negative fluctuations in demand will hit you directly.

On the ore, I think you might have found another bug. I need to run through this again but it seems to work for ice fine but not ore. I think it was actually a small typo but need to run some tests to make sure it works.

Thanks for the close look at the numbers. I appreciate it because I really want it to be as accurate as possible. I'll try to get the fixes up this weekend.

There isn't but good idea. I'll add that this weekend.

Hi

Bob mentioned this in a other thread: "eve-central has a "sell/percentile" which tracks moderately close to the EMD/EMK 5% number", can u add this "percentile" import also to the price update pane?

Let me know which item you are comparing and I can look into it further. If it's a T2 item, it probably has to do with the number of copies for the BPC is selected.

Thanks

SVR is the Sales to Volume Ratio - How much you can build in a day over what is sold in a day. It's an estimate so you can look at building things that you can sell and won't sit on the market for years.

Yeah working on that for next update. Just taking some time.

Mostly just doping in to thank you for the ore update. I noticed that a few days ago but have been rather busy with MD reading and RL so I haven't actually been playing much EvE or Spreadsheet (its a game too, isn't it?). :P

A very small thing: it doesn't look like my "Only calculate items I can" box on the manufacturing page does not save. I have it set to only look at items I can build. However, when I close and re-open the program it will try to throw in things I don't have the skills to build.

It looks like you are using the sell order movement pulled from EvE central - not the total number sold - to compute the SVR. Assuming this is correct, I love you. I was worried for a while that the volume included the movement on buy orders. Which would perhaps give a good idea of the market size but not the number you could sell at the lowest current jita sell price. Turns out, you thought of this! :)

One very little question: How does the SVR threshold work? By and large, when I set the limit to say, 5, items with smaller volumes are dropped. However, sometimes it includes low volume items (unless, for example, Proton XL has a much higher SVR than I thought) in my limited list. However, instead of displaying the SVR it just leaves the column empty.

Thanks for all your work,

I assume you mean on the manufacturing tab. It just exports to clipboard.

I'm already changing it to save to a file in the next update.
