How the floor is calculated
M1BZ-2 V - Moon 23 · M1BZ-2 · MPJW-6
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 | 1.35B | −52.4M | 1.30B | 3.91B |
| Jita split (floor basis) | 1.86B | −52.4M | 1.81B | 5.44B |
| Jita sell | 2.38B | −52.4M | 2.32B | 6.97B |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Otavite | 50.0% | 438,292 | 4,383 |
| Cobaltite | 36.5% | 319,594 | 3,196 |
| Loparite | 13.5% | 118,114 | 1,181 |
Step 2 & 3 — reprocess each ore, then value the materials
per material: portions × SDE yield × 90.6% × Jita split price
Otavite — 450.3M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atmospheric Gases | 39,709 | 166 | 6.6M |
| Cadmium | 158,837 | 3k | 443.7M |
Cobaltite — 70.0M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cobalt | 115,821 | 604 | 70.0M |
Loparite — 1.34B / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrocarbons | 21,402 | 443 | 9.5M |
| Scandium | 21,402 | 547 | 11.7M |
| Platinum | 10,701 | 8k | 80.7M |
| Promethium | 23,542 | 53k | 1.24B |
Step 4 — gross
| Refined material (all ores) | Units / 30 days | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|
| Promethium | 23,542 | 1.24B |
| Cadmium | 158,837 | 443.7M |
| Platinum | 10,701 | 80.7M |
| Cobalt | 115,821 | 70.0M |
| Scandium | 21,402 | 11.7M |
| Hydrocarbons | 21,402 | 9.5M |
| Atmospheric Gases | 39,709 | 6.6M |
| Gross | 1,864,989,744 ISK | |
Step 5 — Magmatic Gas fuel
40 / hr × 730 hr = 29,200 units × 2k = 52,355,600 ISK / 30 days
Step 6 — floor
| Gross | 1,864,989,744 ISK |
| − Magmatic Gas fuel | −52,355,600 ISK |
| Model floor | 1,812,634,144 ISK / 30 days |
| Floor used by the auction | 1,812,634,144 ISK / month |
Step 7 — what a bidder pays
| Term length | 3 months |
| Minimum monthly bid | 1,812,634,144 ISK (the floor) |
| Prepaid to the alliance on winning | bid × 3 — at the floor, 5,437,902,432 ISK |
| Viability floor | 300,000,000 ISK / month — clears it |
