Hello fellow spreadsheet warriors

After Odyssey release I have decided that for planning my manufacturing activities Google Docs just doesn't do it. So I put together new application for my manufacturing needs.

I'm making it available for all of you as of this moment, just keep in mind this is still alpha.

Key features:

  • Integrated with corp assets, you wont need to update blueprint's ME/PE every time. Takes into account materials you have in stock for your shopping list.
  • Easy way to import/fix you blueprint stats via simple copy and paste from eve client.
  • Buy/manufacture decision making based on your blueprint base and their ME/PE levels.
  • Job planning, calculates final bill of materials provides price estimates and volumes needed
  • IGB interface to provide easy way to shop materials (you should check it out - no hassle with market navigation at all)
  • You can ignore part of your assets so that they won't count towards Present materials/datacores/etc via ignoring containers and offices.
  • All information about your blueprints and assets is stored locally. No uploads to 3rd-party website, logins/registrations


Q/A
Q. Where can I get it?
A. https://googledrive.com/host/0B6sp_U9gLsrneDRKYmpGdGxrdEU/

Q. Wait, why do I need to edit my blueprints in order to set up correct ML/PL, isn't it integrated with corp. assets?
A. Well.. AssetList API call does not provide Material and Productivity Levels. Good news is, there is easy way to import all your blueprints via copy and paste from EVE client.

Q. Is it opensource?
A. Yes! It is licensed under GNU GPL 3.0 and sources are available for you to download/contribute on bitbucket.org (details on the app page)

Q. How about t2/t3?
A. Bluepring Wizard starting with 0.0.9 fully supports t2 invention/manufacturing estimates. As for t3, you can plan jobs and see estimates if you have a blueprint, but they won't include reverse cost in estimate. I would gladly accept pull request from you if you want to implement it yourself.

Q. Where does it get prices from?
A. From http://eve-marketdata.com/ limited to Jita 4/4 station

Q. I live in null sov station...
A. I am sorry. BPW does not work with them (and may fail). Again, please feel free to contribute...

This part is for CCP

Dear CCP devs, I would like to take this opportunity to kindly request following improvements


  1. AssetList API call - please add ml/pl data and iemFlag to the rows like it is done in industry call.
  2. CCPEVE.buyType() - please add second parameter to preset quantity in the opening form.
  3. IndustryJobs API call: Please add outputItemID attribute for successful industry jobs, if it was completed successfully, that is completed="1" and completedStatus="1". I'm particularly interested in activityID="8" (invention), but for 1 (manufacturing) it would be nice to have as well.
  4. IndustryJobs API call: It would be useful to have deliveryTime in addition to productionInstall/Start/End and that other one.


Thank you in advance!

Might be worth getting the me/pl values from recently run jobs as well?

Woo! CSM XI!

Thought I would give it a go but been stuck for 30 minutes now with message in bottom left "downloading Icons" how long is it supposed to take?

Will have to shelve it to be honest as it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

30 minutes is too long... is progress bar moving? It should take about 5 minutes to download and extract icons..

can you please send me last 50 lines from bpw.log to my eve mail (it should be in directory where you started application from)?

I'm going to explore this possibility, this is good idea!

0.0.3 released

New features:

  1. First of all, I hated shopping experience when you need to copy and paste name (or type in, or find in tree) material to buy. So I added IGB integration. Now you can do it by clicking on links from In Game Browser. Do not forget to start webserver in the app first!

  2. Manufacturing internet spaceships is a serious business, so I added basic Gantt chart for it. Not sure why, probably just to prove the point. Chart is going to be dramatically improved (or completely removed). It depends on my mood and your feedback.


Details are on the product page.

v0.0.7 released
+ added integration with industry jobs, it allows you to add new jobs without worrying about removing/ignoring materials for current ones, Blueprint Wizard will now correctly adjust bill of materials.. And as a small bonus: Gantt Chart is now showing you planned jobs progress.

v0.0.9 released:
- invention estimates are now taking into account base item and invention time (in case it's expected time greater than manufacturing time... drones and such)
- Added "Best Combination" button which automatically chooses best decryptor and base item combination based on profit per hour.
