Hi, I'm working on an industry/research alt. I can't figure out how many jobs max one character can run.

The skill says it adds one job per level, but what is the minimum for an untrained char?

a base character can run 1 manufacturing line and 1 research line. That research line can be ME/PE/invention/copying, it still counts as 1 research line. Max skills means you can have 11 of each.

Note: You can probably skill up another alt for 10 slots in the time it takes to train for the 11th slot.

I believe you meant to use the word concurrent instead of consecutive. Consecutive means one after another after another.

Though it doesn't appear to be your question, I might add that you can program a BPO job to run as many consecutive times as you like as long as the total time doesn't exceed a month. When I started out I thought this was limited by the "max production runs" listed on the BPO, but that number is only relevant to making blueprint copies (BPCs). A copy can't have more than that number of runs.

I've noticed others make the same mistake.

Thanks. Concurrent was the intended meaning.

Shame you can't install more than 11 jobs. I'm doing industry to supplement my trading game. Since you're allowed to place over 300 market orders, I was hoping I'd be able to manufacture the several varieties of items I'm trading.

Oh well. Doubt I'll end up making another alt, because then I would also have to train production effeciency skills and stop my training on the current alt. I don't think it's worth it to buy another account for either.

As I stated above, stopping training to train an alt is not necessarily a bad idea.

Example:

* Advanced Mass Production 4 to 5 = 1,685,960 SP for 1 extra slot

Or train an alt:

* Industry 4 (rank 1) = 45,255 SP
* Production Efficiency 5 (rank 3) = 768,000 SP
* Mass Production 5 (rank 2) = 512,000 SP
* Advanced Mass Production 4 (rank 8) = 362,040 SP

Total = 1,687,294 SP for 10 extra slots.

Difference = 1,687,294 SP - 1,685,960 SP = 1,334 SP more training for 10 extra slots.

Similarly for Advanced Laboratory Operation 5.

ofcourse you will also have to train science/construction skills on said alt if you plan on making tech 2 stuff and such.

Yeah, that's still like a months worth of training I dont want to wait for.

those month will pay off fast though, much faster than 1 last slot training.

i'd only do that if all 3 characters are already maxed at everything relevant.
