oh those damn T2 BPO..... that may explain it and prove CCP that theose little stupid things are market breaker items, in case they still need to figure it out clearly enough.

Thanks for all the clarifications about the SVR index too, I got where I was wrong now.


Not sure I understood your question, since it's pretty evident that you can tick/untick all those elements, both in the Blueprint menu and in the Manufacturing List.

Great program. Took a bit but I finally feel like I know how to use it pretty well.

Quick question about the Invention Success Monitor. Mine seems to be stuck in 2012. If you click the select a date it probably shows as 2014, but the main screen never changes from 2012, just month and day change. Am I doing something wrong?

Huh, I'll see what I can figure out. It does look like it's pulling the data from the API correctly though, just those drop down's aren't updating correctly.


Please send me a screenshot of the mining tab when you get the error. I'll need to see what you have selected to debug it. Just copy and pasting the error doesn't help much.

Another suggestion:

When you want invention+manufacturing, you can mark your t1 bpos as owned.
At the manufacturing tab you filter items with load: all blueprints
Your owned blueprints are highlighted with color, thats very nice, because you can see what blueprint you got already.

The problem is that you dont own any t2 blueprint, because you invent it from t1 blueprint (what you own).
For this purpose you got an option "Include Owned: T2 invented" if thats checked, you can list t2 invented items, based on what t1 bpo you own. (you select only Tech: Tech 2 modules).
But that t2 invented list, not flagged as owned, and dont get the nice color highlight. Then unowned and owned items are mixed.

If you set manually owned all t2 items you want, then the invent options dont work, because the ME PE values are based on what is in the blueprint database.
I dont suggest to set t2 bpc-s owned in blueprint database, because its an invention product what you use in manufacturing then it disappears. And if you manage blueprints with api scan, you dont get it, only t1 bpo versions.

What is needed:
When you own a t1 bpo, and you select Include Owned: T2 invented, and filter only t2 modules, with all blueprints, you need to get color highlight to t2 modules, based on what t1 bpo you owned.
That would help in that what blueprint you already got in the list.

Simple conclusion: In manufacturing tab, when you own a t1 bpo, and if you can invent it, you need color highlight for t2 bpc version too, just with like owned flag, but in different color.

Edit:
I found another usage, for highlight.
When you api scan your storage and set your owned t2 pbc-s to blueprint database as owned, you can filter what blueprints in stock, and what blueprints need to invent to manufacture.
Because of this, the new highlight color need to be different for possible invention based on what t1 blueprint you own.

Highlight color 1 : owned blueprint
Highlight color 2 : T2 blueprint for possible invention based on what t1 blueprint you own

This is until now the best industrial tool I have found.

Sadly I found a little bug with usage costs:

Case A: Using 1 BPC 1 Line 1 Run --> correct usage (ingame values differ somewhat but are very near)
Case B: Using 1 BPC 1 Line 10 Runs --> correct usage (ingame values differ somewhat but are very near)
Case C: Using 10 BPC 10 Line 10 Run --> same result as CASE A but should be 10 times Case A

EDIT
Case D: Using 10 BPC 1 Line 10 Runs --> Correct Usage

So my guess is that it has something to do how lines are used in the calculation.

It's on the list and something I want to do. Just need the time.


It's on the list. Shouldn't be too hard.


I've been wanting to do this for over a year now but I haven't had time to do much. After I get the shopping list and asset scanning done (about half done now) then I'll work on this most likely. I've been needing to use something like this too so it'll get extra attention lol.

Thanks I'll get it fixed soon.

This isn't available yet and I went back and forth on whether to allow BPs to be stored for the user and for the character. I might revisit this when I look at the BP management but that's a bit off. I also don't want to hose up people's BP storage so I need to work this one slowly.


On all the stuff people request, I'm working on the program more now and hope to have some updates done soon. I had a busy year and bought a house along with a few other things that happened. But looking forward to getting some long standing ideas in the program for everyone (including myself!) to use. Thanks!

hey Zifrian, what about adding one lil tab to your awesome tool and giving us all a mineral compression tool? :)

here's just a couple of ideas such a tool should provide. I'm sure IPH is already able to pull those informations out of the BPOs and the items db since for instance in the shopping list volumes are shown and I'm sure you'll find many other ways to combine those numbers in a useful manner, but a complete tool dedicated to compression is still missing.

Thanks.

I just note here:
Avast antivirus got False Positive Report( Win32:Evo-gen(susp) ) to Updater.exe, and put that to Quarantine.
Needed to Switch off, for update.

Getting the following error when trying to import my api key, since the update.

It worked fine before the program update, now it throws me that error, even if I try to import a brand new api-key :(
