Ok lets see.
1. I had just done a new install onto a Windows 7 machine (fixed vista).
2. While I thought I had then updated prices, a bunch of data looked strange. (I had been away for two weeks when Vista died).
3. Somehow the program allowed a price download without any section checked.

What I think happened is that it pulled off a hub/region where Eve Central did not have price data for that particular item but used the Jita SVR values.

I have just now attempted to replicate and found myself unable to do so.

Hey, when calculating IPH for T2 items, does IPH mean ISK per hour of manufacturing hour, or does it take time to copy and invent into account.

The bottleneck for T2 production could be either Copy, Invention or Production slots. It depends on what is begin built, available skills and POS layout.

Perhaps there could be a way to specify what type of slot is your bottleneck for T2 items.


Thanks

I'll take a look. Thanks for reporting.



You can include the copy and invention times as part of settings but there is no way to select those on the main blueprint tab area.



Thanks. I thought I corrected this. I'll get it fixed up soon.

In keeping with the bottleneck discussion, I have enabled invention time (disabled copy time) and am looking at the Harpy, which is bottlenecked by invention time (25h x 2.76 attempts/success = roughly 69 hours per successful invention at 1.0x). Showing a component profit of 7M, that works out to about 101k per hour profit.

the bp isk per hour shows 396k (makes sense if you ignore invention time)

the raw isk per hour shows 153k (no idea where this one comes from)

1)In what way is the program factoring in invention time into the calculations if you turn it on?

2) How is "total item production time" calculated? It shows 1day 23h 46mins for the harpy but not sure where that number is coming from.

Thanks.

This is a really nice tool, thank you for the hard work put in to building and maintaining it!

I noticed a few small things as I was using the app.

When in the blueprint management screen updating me/pe values, when you have the unfiltered list everything defaults to not being checked. When you select a type filter, every time you update an me/pe value everything defaults to checked and you need to uncheck all every time before entering the next set of me/pe values. It would be handy to have them both default to not checked, when entering data for hundreds of bps with very different me/pe values it would make the process a bit quicker.

It would be really nice to be able to update me/pe values from the blueprints tab anywhere an me/pe value appears. So for example under the blueprint icon, as well as the bottom left portion for the component material list (for items that have sub components like t2 and capitals).

A way to back up the me/pe values (or even the whole database) to a separate backup file would be great.

Would be nice if you could save your shopping list from session to session. If we could have several shopping lists that would be heavensend.

New Build
Build 2.0.4459.38991

• Updated the program database to Crucible_1.5_349247 datadump. All newly named items should now be reflected in the program.
• Updated the BP images to Crucible_1.5_349247 datadump.
• Exporting selected Datacore Agents in the Datacores tab will no longer output a long line of data.
• The BP Production Time display is now greyed out if 'Calculate Optimal' is checked since it does not apply to this option.
• Added check boxes to Reverse Engineering, Copy, and Invention times in the Invention/RE tab within the BP tab. When selected the times will update with the total invention and copy times included. These times are based on your laboratory skills to run these jobs and tied to the success rate of invention/RE. I.E. if you require 15 invention runs for a success and you have 10 maximum laboratory lines, you need 2x the copy time for 15 copies, and 2x the invention time for 15 invention runs.
• Saving settings on the BP Tab will now save selections for Including RE, Copy, and Invention Times for all program settings.
• Electronic Parts, Garbage, Hydrogen Batteries, Oxygen, Spirits, and Water are now available for updated prices in the Update Prices tab under the 'Planetary' category.

Let me know if you have any issues.

I'll take a look at the BP management. I'm always trying to improve that screen.

As far as updating values anywhere, I'm working on that fix for prices as well. It's been on the list for awhile. As far as the numbers on the BP tab, I originally had it automatically save them but took it out. I might add it to the save settings functionality so you have to save it there but having it autosave was causing issues.

Backing up the BP's is half done. It'll be in 2.1 or maybe sooner.

Good catch. I'll add it to the program settings and Manufacturing Tab. Note though, if someone wants to use a "Rapid" array that causes more mat usage, I probably won't add that any time soon so it'll just be the times.


On saving shopping lists, it's on my list. Hope to have it in a soonish update.

On the other, do you mean making a list of only BP's you want to see? If so, this seems like a common request as people only want to look at say 5 BP's but might own 100's. I'll try to work this in soon.

Thanks

I'm not seeing any issues. Please provide more details or some screenshots and I'll try and track down the issue. Thanks

I did fix a small issue with Augmented Drones. Just put that patch up. Let me know if you still have the issue.

To your first question, I would say that the SVR data is really only a guide to the right direction but I wouldn't bet money on it. I get the volume data from EVE Marketeer so I really don't have any control over what it provides. That site is pretty good and I think they've done a great job with it but it's still imperfect just due to the way price data is gathered.

So I would use it to analyze the market but use your experience and game knowledge to figure out what to build. When I looked at your list I immediately thought Large Salvage Tackle II's would be a low volume because medium salvage tackles fit the noctis and small and large would be much lower. With T2 versions, probably not many at all. The SVR shows 1.15. I wouldn't bother with that low a number anyway. The "Ignore Low SVR" just gets rid of those lower than 1.0. I might add an option to type in a value though. If you notice something completely off (like 100 svr for some low demand item) let me know and I'll double check my code.

On the second, I'm not noticing this with a few spot checks. I know that others have brought this up as well. If you can give an example I can look into it. Make sure you have all the options the same. For instance, I ignore R.A.M.'s for small drones and ammo. I have to remember to check it in manufacturing to compare but also realize that it applies to all items I select.

But to look for profit, the idea is that they should both show the same data. I tried to get them close as possible so let me know examples of where they are off and I'll take a look. Make sure you are comparing the right data as well. I.e. Components and Raw mats.
