Hi everyone,

I'm sorry if this has been brought up before but I did do quite a bit of searching through google and the forums with no luck.

Basically, I am wondering if anyone has a google doc or something similar I can use to insert ore amounts mined and in turn calculate the minerals that will be yielded at max reprocessing values.

I then want to be able to work out what I should pay my corpies for the ore using prices from Jita less 10%. The actual prices in Jita fluctuate so I don't expect any kind of in-depth program that pulls market data or anything I am very capable of inserting the Jita prices for minerals myself into a document or website if one exists.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Big smile

Fuzzworks should give you a good start, I'd copy/paste it into an excel spreadsheet and then add it up
https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/ore/

if you set it up to import via web page I think it will refresh on its own, otherwise you can just copy/paste it again

It's not really that hard to do once you've figured out the basics of making a spreadsheet. You could have done that in the time it took you to do the searches and make this topic.
If it wasn't midnight and I wasn't slightly drunk, I could bash one out in a few minutes. Maybe tomorrow I'll try and figure out google docs, but you may just end up with a mediafire link to a .xls file.

Another option is get your people to use http://evepraisal.com/ and contract the ore to you at Jita buy - 10%
Put the permalink in the contract description.

Personally I would indeed recommend doing this - as it will teach you a great deal.

More, however, unless you're actually buying and selling the Ore/Mins in Jita - why are you using Jita prices?

In my (admittedly limited) experience a lot of corporate buyback programs are based on Jita buy order pricing.

Oh - you are absolutely right there....

The question(s) you should ask is - is that fair? To either you or your Corp mates?

If you don't, maybe you should be asking yourself if industry is the right career for you. This game isn't known as 'spreadsheets and spaceships in space' for nothing.

I've been doing industry in Eve for close to 3 years without spreadsheets. I am not wealthy by Eve standards but I am comfortably middle class with more than enough income to PLEX my accounts and do what I enjoy in the game.

I participate in several links of the value chain so margins on the things I sell are generally in the 30-50% range. My wallet tells me how I'm doing- don't need a spreadsheet for that. As long as it keeps growing and I'm having fun, I really don't care if my business is "optimized".
