Thanks for your response. So are you saying I shouldn't put too much weight into that number at all?

Medium Core Defence Field Extender II - Using Tuning Instructions w/ jita min sell. The result is 1 run so I leave 1 in the Runs box.

Invention Cost 17,162,149.55

Decryptor Cost: 8,162,149.55
Combined data core cost: 1.1 mil - ish.

1 is correct. For quick and dirty testing make sure "Jita" trade hub system is checked and you can just price import on Minium Sell. The program has a lot of different settings as you can see but keep it simple while you learn!
2: Go to the Blueprints tab, on the top left area of this tab check the "Selected Blueprint" list. Type in the name of any blueprint in the game and click on it. This will populate the rest of the tab with information regarding this blueprint, such as how much it costs to make, how long it takes to build, etc.
3: Find profitable blueprint and build it!

You need to know which blueprints are profitable to actually make, and due to the massive amount of things you can build in EVE, it'd be very ineffective to check them each one by one on the blueprints tab. This is where the Manufacturing list comes in. You can set filters for what you want the list to show. For example, the "Tech" checkboxes on the manufacturing list tab, will only show tech1-3 items if selected. If you only want to build tech1 stuff, and want to see what's profitable for T1, make sure only T1 is checked. Want to see if there's profitable T1 ships to build? Check the "Tech 1" filter, and ensure the "Ships" blueprint type is checked. Once you have your filters set, you can click "Calculate" and the program will generate a very large list of every item that meets the filters, and it will calculate how much it costs to make/sale price. Once it's done it'll even give you a sorted list of products(You can change the sort order with the "Sort By:" radio button).

Hope that gives you a brief overview!

Thanks Lemonmint for a great rundown

Only thing I would suggest is to look at the blueprint management and mark a few bps as "Owned" if you own them so that you can analyze what you have vs. what you do not. Also, the Manufacturing Tab is really just a huge comparison tool to compare blueprints to one another. For instance, if you own all the BPO's to make the T1 hulls for assault ships, select "assault ships" in the Item Type Filter and it will show you which ones are more profitable than others so you can target your production to those, and not the ones that put you in red Isk. That's just one example.

However, one of the things I noticed early on is that there isn't really a way to just "Press Here, Collect Isk." There are so many possibilities and options that one could include to their manufacturing that it gets really complicated quickly to include them all. For instance, I just moved back to 0.0. TOTALLY different and I'll probably have to make some changes to take a lot of that into account or double check what I have.

So yeah, I understand that from a person new to industry it can seem overwhelming.

I think as part of this project, I'm going to try and do some video tutorials. I could write all day but I'm not sure it's going to be all that helpful - people are more visual learners anyway. But for now, just ask questions here, or chat with others in game (I did set up a chat for this purpose if necessary), or send me a mail.

Yeah, this is on the list. As is updating ME/PE data from the grid in Blueprint Management, etc.

It's not really something easy to change but I think I have a work around I can use. Hopefully soon as I now a lot of people have requested it.

Yes. I only change the number for significant updates but I always rebuild the install and binary files when I commit any minor build changes.

Hi all,

I would like to use the soft but I'm encountering odd behavior when I update the manufacturing part.
The thing after having imported the prices, I unchecked (into the manufacturing part this time), the Tech 2 and tech 3 abilities and click on Preview Item List and after that on Calculate.
I get all the column SVR empty.

I think I did not miss a thing when creating my API key (I checked all the radio button), so if you have an idea about why I'm not able to update my SVR column, I would be pleased to hear about that :).

Thanks.

Behind a proxy? I'm not, at least I don't think, since I tried on my personnal computer at home, and even with the one I'm currently using (with a 3G key), it doesn't work, that's why I think it could come from my API key, if not I'm totally lost.

Im sure you've got enough things to keep you busy for quite a while, but thought i might mention another feature request, its a big one, so really just mentioning as perhaps a long term goal.

Currently the shopping list contains the total total amount of materials used to manufacture whatever stuff your planning to build.

It would be useful if the shopping list had a list of materials you dont have, so take the list of materials required to make the products, subtract the materials you already have, and show that as well.

I expect it would be major feature because you would need to pull inventory data from eveapi and manage that data, it would probably make sense to add an "inventory viewer" as well, so yea, a big one i assume.

EDIT: Oh, and the total volume of stuff in shopping list would be good to, so you know if it will fit in your ship, or what ship to fly ;)

Thanks

Sorry if this is already answered some where but I notice there is a place for corp blueprints. is there a way for it to auto grab this information? for all the corp blueprints available?

Go to Edit, Manage Blueprints. In there you will find a button to Scan for Corp Assets. You will need a corp key input into the program that has access to Assets.

Let me know if you have any issues.
