How the floor is calculated
9SBB-9 VII - Moon 22 · 9SBB-9 · LI-BA0
The floor is what the alliance would earn by dropping a Metenox on this moon — the passive income active miners have to beat. The chain:
monthly ore units → split by composition → reprocess (× refine yield) → value materials at Jita split → gross − Magmatic Gas fuel = floor
Value at each Jita price
| Basis | Mined value / mo | − fuel | Net / mo | Per 3-mo term |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jita buy | 1.37B | −52.4M | 1.31B | 3.94B |
| Jita split (floor basis) | 1.40B | −52.4M | 1.34B | 4.03B |
| Jita sell | 1.43B | −52.4M | 1.38B | 4.13B |
Jita sell is the optimistic ceiling (you fill your own sell orders); Jita buy the floor (dump everything to buy orders); split the midpoint the auction floor uses.
Inputs · from settings
| Base moon extraction | 30,000 | m³ / hour (game constant) |
| Metenox efficiency | 40% | of a manually worked Athanor/Tatara |
| Hours / month | 730 | 730 = 365 × 24 ÷ 12 |
| Moon ore volume | 10 | m³ / unit |
| Refine yield (max skills + structure) | 90.6% | of the theoretical 100% reprocessing result |
| Magmatic Gas burn | 40 | units / hour → 29,200 / 30 days |
| Material prices | Jita split | buy/sell midpoint if "split" |
| Magmatic Gas price | 2k | Jita sell, per unit |
Step 0 — how much a Metenox pulls in 30 days
30,000 m³/hr × 40% × 730 hr
= 8,760,000 m³ of moon ore
÷ 10 m³/unit = 876,000 units of moon ore / 30 days
Step 1 — split the monthly ore by composition
| Ore | Share | Units / 30 days | = portions (÷100) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chromite | 42.4% | 371,161 | 3,712 |
| Zeolites | 37.2% | 325,609 | 3,256 |
| Sylvite | 20.5% | 179,230 | 1,792 |
Step 2 & 3 — reprocess each ore, then value the materials
per material: portions × SDE yield × 90.6% × Jita split price
Chromite — 765.0M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrocarbons | 33,627 | 443 | 14.9M |
| Chromium | 134,509 | 6k | 750.1M |
Zeolites — 473.2M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 23,600,155 | 16 | 384.1M |
| Mexallon | 1,180,008 | 49 | 57.4M |
| Atmospheric Gases | 191,751 | 166 | 31.8M |
Sylvite — 158.9M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 6,495,281 | 16 | 105.7M |
| Mexallon | 649,528 | 49 | 31.6M |
| Evaporite Deposits | 105,548 | 204 | 21.6M |
Step 4 — gross
| Refined material (all ores) | Units / 30 days | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|
| Chromium | 134,509 | 750.1M |
| Pyerite | 30,095,436 | 489.8M |
| Mexallon | 1,829,536 | 88.9M |
| Atmospheric Gases | 191,751 | 31.8M |
| Evaporite Deposits | 105,548 | 21.6M |
| Hydrocarbons | 33,627 | 14.9M |
| Gross | 1,397,048,130 ISK | |
Step 5 — Magmatic Gas fuel
40 / hr × 730 hr = 29,200 units × 2k = 52,355,600 ISK / 30 days
Step 6 — floor
| Gross | 1,397,048,130 ISK |
| − Magmatic Gas fuel | −52,355,600 ISK |
| Model floor | 1,344,692,530 ISK / 30 days |
| Floor used by the auction | 1,344,692,530 ISK / month |
Step 7 — what a bidder pays
| Term length | 3 months |
| Minimum monthly bid | 1,344,692,530 ISK (the floor) |
| Prepaid to the alliance on winning | bid × 3 — at the floor, 4,034,077,591 ISK |
| Viability floor | 300,000,000 ISK / month — clears it |
