Science & Industry

I don't know what you're building but my production lines are turning a daily profit of over 10 million per slot. Just added a 5th production char and am thinking about expanding even more.

Perhaps you should give the market more time to adjust. Let me give you an example...

I make T2 damage controls. Prepatch, it took 1.25 hours to invent in a POS, 18+ hours to make. Based on my sleep pattern, thst 18 hours meant it was actually a day. So basically, each day I could make 100 DC 2s, limited more by invention.

Now invention was always the bottle neck time wise. So to save my sanity and avoid trips to trade hubs, I would invent in large batches. once I had enough BPCs ready, i would make them. I had a stockpike right before patch. I knew material change were coming, so the wait was planned. The patch hit... Now, instead of 100 mods a day, it takes 4 hours to make 100 mods, and well... Work and sleep hinder Eve life, but still... I can make 300 mods a day now. What would have taken me 12 days is now 4 days.

Guess what, I, like many proceed to mass produce, thinking more mods equals more money. Well... The demand didn't change, but supply sure did. I, and many others, rapidly flood the market (especially since a lot if us held off, drying up the supply, this was why t2 280mm Howie prices rose a ton prepatch). Our flood lowers the market as we compete to sell and get some if thst higher profit. However supply is huge and the market drops.

Also, my bpcs went from -4 ME to much better, meaning more profit per unit if sold at old prices or i can take less profit per and still be good. So more reason for prices to drop.

But wait... Invention times changed. What use to be once every 1.25 hours in a pos is now 4 in a station. This slows me down actually. I could get 4+ invention cycles in a day. Now I get 3 or less. So, once I burn through my existing stock, I (like many others) will actually produce at a slower rate. Prices will bounce back as the demand matches the lower supply. Also, the New bpcs have a lower ME, meaning they cost more.

So basically, you are reacting too soon. We are still in the correction phases. Give it a few months, then see what's happening.
My guess, things will balance out and the profits will be about the same.

Haven't been manufacturing for at least two months now. Just sitting here dumping my ISK into my BPO now.

I'm still trying to sell my pre-Crius stockpiles. That will probably take me another month, and compared to some, my stockpiles were tiny.

Yup, gonna take a while.

my margins are so obscenely high i can't even calculate them

Other than responding as quickly as possible to cost changes, my model and portfolio are unchanged in Crius. Comparing my operation for the 22 days of Crius vs the 22 days prior, my GP% has risen by about 10%. Profits are down about 10%, due primarily to getting spanked by a team I can't for the moment match but also due to strongly sagging material costs across the board (which means the real value of my isk is higher), but that frees up a good chunk of capital and I'm starting just today to add to my portfolio.

i mine my own minerals, my margin is always 100%

Instead of manufacturing for a loss, how about you just send me the ISK?

I will totally make sure the ISK is spent in promoting, increased margins for industrialists.

I'm still netting about 2.5B/mo running a single POS. Don't know what you're doing. But clearly you're doing it wrong.

Why is it ccp's job to mess with profits and the market? it isnt. theres too many people doing industry and the markets are still not settled.

Go do something else and come back once the markets settle down to the new normal.

Lol like i said im not producing at loss, but I see more and more things that goes absurdly low since crius I will give you just one example that I used to build long time ago Adaptive invul t2s pre-crius these things were in the 2.2m range and were super profitable to build right now no matter how tight you squeeze that index you're going to be building them at loss unless you're t2 bpo owner i suppose.I will find those items you still build at profit and i will crush their margins.
