reading the eve wiki online i have located the blueprint section and am curious if there is away to see what materials are required for manufacturing a particular product outside of the actual game?

https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Cap_Booster_150_Blueprint

shows the blueprints but not required materials to make it, as an example

try this: https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/blueprints/

I should buy an Ishtar.

ahoy

another approach - perhaps more complicated at first sight but hey, you seem like you would like to manufacture things after all
is a very useful tool named "isk per hour". its on sourceforge -> http://sourceforge.net/projects/eveiph/

this will not only show you what materials you do need for a blueprint of a specified ME, but also if it actually worths it making it

trust me, most stuff cost less if you just buy them :) especially if u live in highsec.

cheers

One more option: EVEHQ

This one allows you to check based on your character skills (via API) how much materials you would consume. You can set prices, and check profitability.

It also offers many more option regarding EVE, this is just one slice of it.

If you have excel:

This is the best tool I've come across for any sort of industry endeavor.

What???

If you are not skilled for production, maybe...
If you are competing against mission running loot, perhaps...
If you are competing against a miner that gets his miners "for free", sure...

But most items are cheaper to build than buy off the market! How else would the game support its economy?

I would still agree that *most* things are cheaper to buy, especially if you include ships.

Most ships have been selling well below build price for ages now. Many reasons have been cited for this, especially your third point. A lot of new players build ships without actually looking at cost.

They mine Ore and refine to Minerals themselves so in every sense they haven't paid for those minerals.
Time isn't a currency.
Whether or not they could be doing something more lucrative with their time is down to them, but ultimately, the bottom line is, they can afford to sell below the build price if you purchased the minerals because they didn't actually purchase them.

Yes they would make more money hauling the minerals to a trade hub but no one gets to dictate how someone else should play the game.

One more to add to the list. EVEMON has a blueprint tab as well that will tell you what you need based on your skills.

minerals you mine are not value-less.

The biggest "problem" though is that there are thousands of ships that were built pre-tiericide. Since tiericide made it that all ships of a particular class pretty much cost as much as the former top-tier ship; you have a glut of low and mid-tier ships that're selling significantly below current build-cost.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

...and here we are again to the same o' same o' discussion! :p

if you really believe i am wrong, well, np
that explains why i do make isk by NOT manufacturing things anymore in highsec.
my minerals worth much more isk when sold in the market as it is rathen than
manufacturing them to modules or ships.

why? because

- some think the ore they do mine is absolutely free. they forget minerals can be sold in market.
- some others just dont care, they simply want to feel like they did manufacture their stuff by themselves.
- some canheads are caught in the race of always being the lowest seller, so as to sell them soon enough
without realising they actually did sell it less than it costed to them.
- and ofc some others really do believe that earth is the center of the universe, so why not.

when it comes to null, thats another discussion. totally different. manufacturing there can make you rich
because market is limited and you can always add that extra profit for your efforts. ofc you need to foresight
what the market needs otherwise you manufacture things that stay in market for ever.

cheers
