Science & Industry

I don't know if it is a bug or if I do something wrong but:

I want to make 40 runs of a T2 rig using a accelerant decryptor during the invention at a POS design lab. In the invention calculations tab (under Blueprints) it shows you the invention time. This time seems to be off for me.

Now I have it set to 20 productions lines, requiring 20 T2 BPCs to fill all slots. In the invention tab I choose 5 invention lines (currently no more available).
According to the tab I have 53,04% chance to invent the T2 BPC, therefore, according to the material list, I need to run 38 invention jobs on average to get the 20 T2 BPCs which I need in order to produce the 40 T2 rigs.

However the invention time does not match what I see in game. 38 invention runs divided by 5 invention lines are ~7,6 runs per line. However the time I see in the invention calculations would be only correct if I would make 2 runs per line.
Strange thing is: If I change the number of invention lines to 1 it gives me the correct invention time for 38 runs on 1 invention line. If I change to 2 invention lines it does not cut the time by 50% as you would assume, instead the time is decreased by roughly 75%. Coincidentally 2 / 7,6 = ~26%.

Might the formula calculating the invention time be borked here?

I received the same error at the same spot.

All fixed.
You do good work, sir.
Thanx.

Thanks for the update, I'll switch. I think most get 4,5.2 in windows update anyway.

Huh?

Thukker arrays can only be anchored in low sec afaik. So make sure the POS system you set up in your facility for components is in low sec and then select the drop down for facility to use it. To do this on the BP tab, select a component like capital construction parts, then save the facility to the Thukker. Then when you make item that use capital components, they will select that facility to make them.

It's a bit confusing on the BP tab but on the manufacturing tab you can see each type of facility by selecting the tab. Note, the facilities on the BP and Manufacturing tab are not the same.

Hope that helps.

Yeah I have done this but when I add the minerals to shopping list it has the same amount as before

Check the EVEIPH.log file in the install folder for error messages. I'm interested in what it might be as well.

Alright, so it appears that the reason I got no exception showing up was because the EVEIPH.log file was never created. Having created that file, I got the following exception:

With the following log output:

Seeing the error message, I noticed the Updates folder wasn't created either. I tried creating it but it still gave the same error. Right clicking and manually selecting 'run as administrator' seems to work.

It says unable to access the path 'Updates\', so I made it in the installation folder as that's the path where it looks like it's expecting it to be. Sure enough, after running the .exe as administrator, the updates folder was deleted again by EveIPH.

The installation folder is in the regular Program Files (x86) folder.
