Where to find reprocessing rate at NPC stations.

I was asked this the other day and I couldn't answer the question so I will throw it up here. If the answer is what I think it is then it needs to be fixed.

There are NPC stations that have a 50% base reprocessing rate for ore & ice and other ones that I think are 30% or something like that. If you go to system info and look up the stations you can't find out there whether stations have the 50% base rate or less. At least I couldn't seem to bring it up.

So unless I'm mistaken other than 'third party' sources the only way to find out the base rate for a NPC station is to attempt to reprocess some ore or ice there. Which doesn't seem an ideal situation or very user friendly.

Therefore can anyone tell me this data is available in-game without actually doing some reprocessing at a NPC station Question

Drag or or ice to the "Input Materials" pane, or right-click it in your hangar and select "Reprocess", and mouse-over the line created. Look for "Base Yield". You don't have to press the "Reprocess" button.

Look at the station name [depends on the station type]:
* Research Center = 25% [Don't confuse with Biotech Research Center]
* Factory = 30% or 50%
* Mining Outpost = 32%
* Chemical Refinery = 35%
* Reprocessing Facility = 40%
All the others are 50%.

Example (Look under Services on DOTLAN, station type on overview):
Hadonoo III - Moon 9 - Carthum Conglomerate Research Center = Amarr Research Station
Nonni VI - Moon 1 - Kaalakiota Corporation Factory [30%] = Caldari Administrative Station
Nonni I - Kaalakiota Corporation Factory [50%] = Caldari Food Processing Plant
Wuos V - Moon 1 - Hyasyoda Corporation Mining Outpost = Caldari Mining Station
Sheroo X - Moon 11 - X-Sense Chemical Refinery = Gallente Research Station
Amygnon VIII - Moon 5 - X-Sense Reprocessing Facility = Gallente Research Station

Notice that for factory stations, 50% facilities have station types involving manufacturing (like "plant") where 30% do not (like "administrative").

Lai Dai Corporation is a research corp. They have the worst reprocessing facilities of any corp that I know of.

Tip: For the corps that I have >= 6.67 standing with, I bookmark all the 50% stations (by navigating the corp info) so I can tell at a glance which one is the closest.

Cheers Tau for that info. I will pass it on. Smile

As I suspected the information regarding base rates at NPC stations is not as readily available as it should be and is not very new player friendly. Maybe this kind of stuff should be added to the NPE which is still woefully inadequate. Not that I particularly want all new players to go out mining as opposed to doing something else and I am never in favour of 'dumbing down' the game. But the base rate figure is important to enable new industrialists to get the best yield they can.

i have question on this. wasn't the reprocessing rate on stuff like 90 %? i repro stuff at my agents station and i used to get 90-ish. a friend just told me he now gets 50%.

did thye change something??

Yes.

The base reprocessing yield for scrap is 50% now, and capped at 55% with Scrapmetal Processing 5 trained. No other skills, nor implants, nor facilities (all are 50% for scrap), nor any other modifiers are applied.
