Just wanted to announce the launch of my new website EVE Manufacturing Guide. I've written a few manufacturing blog pieces in the past for EN24 and wanted to make more regular blogs as well as provide useful guides and information.

The basics are there but it's not polished, would be glad for any feedback.

Hi, I am reading through it now, not read all of it so cannot comment in full, but...

In the T1 guide, at the bottom it says " If the profit margin is high enough you can sell them in bulk via the ‘Bulk Trade’ mailing list in bulk " seems it should say " If the profit margin is high enough you can sell them in bulk via the ‘Bulk Trade’ mailing list.

White text on a very dark background is a killer on the eyes. I am getting a headache from reading and I am only halfway through the 2nd guide.

If this is for absolute beginners I would have thought you would have explained how to start a manufacturing job in the T1 section. (ie steps by step points of what to do)

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate the feedback on the theme may consider changing it in the near future.

I actually tried to write a guide for the step by step click this button click that button but found it was actually rather confusing, I'm currently in the process of creating video guides for things like this as its much easier to show than write about. I might do a quick sequence of screen shots until the video is done just so the information isn't completely missing!

I've amended the error at the bottom of the T1 guide, thanks.

Reading over the beginners sections I see you mention to train advanced mobile laboratory operation to level 3. I don't see that skill in eve mon or in the skill books section of the market.

I second this motion. The contrast reaches eye-bleach levels of pain in a rather short amount of time. I don't know if you intend to cripple the visual organs of your readers, but I highly recommend checking out some new background options.

Corrected the typo the skill you are looking for is advanced laboratory operation you want to train this to level 4 to get 10 science job slots.

Would love to change it, just need time in order to do so. Actually intending to use more of a EVE related background with a grey text area and black and blue fonts. Much like the Odyssey feature page, personally I've always found reading white on black just fine but many people have said just the same as you.

Read all three. For the most part very good information.

For a beginner it seemed that you spent a little too much time talking about the profit from running all your lines in an ISK / hour basis.

It seemed a more intermediate concept to me. If I was just starting out with a BPO or two that would have been all over my head


Excellent guide. Would have benefited from that knowledge when I started.

May need to improve the flow through the site a little, beginners should be OK if they start here.
