![]() Inexpensive Materials - The material cost should be such that you can reasonably expect to manufacture a decent number of items, and you won't be bankrupt if you lose them while trying to sell them.Selecting a good one versus a bad one is important!Ī good item will have these characteristics: Also significant is the amount of research time that may be spent on the blueprint. This can be a significant cost, especially to new players. Tech 1 BPOs are seeded by various NPC traders, with costs varying from 100,000 to 75 billion ISK. See Blueprints for more details on blueprints. For more details, see Why should I copy my BPOs? Many manufacturers use BPCs, copied from a BPO, to manufacture from, for a variety of reasons, including security and the ability to run multiple production lines. For most blueprints, a single run of a blueprint will produce a single item, but there are some exceptions - most obviously ammunition, which produces 100 units per run. These come in two forms: originals (BPOs) with infinite runs and copies (BPCs) that can only be run a limited number of times. Very few skills are needed for Tech 1 production, and the materials are often fairly easily acquired.Īll Tech 1 manufacturing jobs require a blueprint. Although whether they will actually be able to make a profit is another question entirely. Production of Tech 1 items - ships, modules, ammunition, rigs or even components - is the simplest of manufacturing tasks, within reach of even the newest player to EVE. Note that you still have to haul the materials and blueprint to the relevant station. If you invest in this skill, training to level III or maybe level IV would offer the most return on time investment. This skill is more of a convenience skill than a must-have for a budding industrialist - allowing you to manage your production lines for a distance. Each level in this skill gives you the ability to start manufacturing jobs an extra 5 jumps away, to the maximum of 25 jumps at level V (this may include other regions). Without training this skill, you can start jobs anywhere in the current system. Supply Chain Management ( 3x) - Allows starting jobs remotely.Training to V takes around 28 days, making it only of interest to dedicated manufacturing characters. Having this skill at IV gives you 10 manufacturing lines (1 + 5 + 4), which is enough for most people. Once you train Mass Production to V, you can then train Advanced Mass Production, for a further increase in concurrent jobs. Advanced Mass Production ( 8x) - Allows 1 additional job per level.Any industrialist who wants to create things will need to train this to IV or V fairly early in their plans. Training this skill lets you run additional jobs simultaneously from 2 jobs at I up to 6 jobs at V. Mass Production ( 2x) - Allows 1 additional job per level.īy default, all characters can run 1 manufacturing job at a time.Whilst less noticeable when building small items individually, these time-savers really add up when doing multiple runs and building large ships. This skill adds not only a fairly substantial further time reduction in manufacturing, but also a time reduction in all research and invention jobs. Advanced Industry ( 3x) - 3% reduction in all manufacturing & research time per skill level. ![]() The speed bonus increases the rate at which you can produce items (and therefore, produce profit). Industry ( 1x) - 4% reduction in manufacturing time per skill level.Īt least level 1 is required to use most blueprints, and level 3 is required for further manufacturing skills.The following skills are useful or required for all production that can be done. 5.2.3 Robotic Assembly Modules (R.A.M.s).Manufacture in these cases may simply be an alternative to hauling stuff between markets. There are many more items which can be sold at a profit, but only in a limited volume in certain markets. The player must be aware, however, that there are plenty of items which actually destroy value - that is, there are a great number of Tech 1 items, modules especially, that are worth less than the cost of manufacture. Nonetheless, manufacturing and selling items can provide interest and ISK profit for the careful and canny player. Similarly, the developers may adjust the requirements for a manufacturing process, or increase the availability of ore, or otherwise mess in the sandbox. ![]() Students of economics will note that these markets are neither perfect nor efficient in the technical senses volumes of many items are low enough that the market can be (and is) manipulated, and supply of materials and modules is partly provided by loot drops in missions, which can be adjusted without warning by the game developers. In the EVE universe, the vast majority of items are manufactured by player characters and traded in a relatively free way in the marketplace. ![]()
