How the floor is calculated
60M-TG VIII - Moon 12 · 60M-TG · YB7B-8
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 | 2.22B | −52.4M | 2.17B | 6.50B |
| Jita split (floor basis) | 2.36B | −52.4M | 2.31B | 6.93B |
| Jita sell | 2.51B | −52.4M | 2.45B | 7.36B |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sylvite | 43.3% | 379,425 | 3,794 |
| Ytterbite | 37.9% | 332,216 | 3,322 |
| Cobaltite | 18.8% | 164,359 | 1,644 |
Step 2 & 3 — reprocess each ore, then value the materials
per material: portions × SDE yield × 90.6% × Jita split price
Sylvite — 336.3M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 13,750,367 | 16 | 223.8M |
| Mexallon | 1,375,037 | 49 | 66.8M |
| Evaporite Deposits | 223,443 | 204 | 45.7M |
Ytterbite — 1.99B / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silicates | 60,197 | 400 | 24.1M |
| Titanium | 60,197 | 628 | 37.8M |
| Cadmium | 30,099 | 3k | 84.1M |
| Thulium | 66,217 | 28k | 1.85B |
Cobaltite — 36.0M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cobalt | 59,564 | 604 | 36.0M |
Step 4 — gross
| Refined material (all ores) | Units / 30 days | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|
| Thulium | 66,217 | 1.85B |
| Pyerite | 13,750,367 | 223.8M |
| Cadmium | 30,099 | 84.1M |
| Mexallon | 1,375,037 | 66.8M |
| Evaporite Deposits | 223,443 | 45.7M |
| Titanium | 60,197 | 37.8M |
| Cobalt | 59,564 | 36.0M |
| Silicates | 60,197 | 24.1M |
| Gross | 2,363,371,942 ISK | |
Step 5 — Magmatic Gas fuel
40 / hr × 730 hr = 29,200 units × 2k = 52,355,600 ISK / 30 days
Step 6 — floor
| Gross | 2,363,371,942 ISK |
| − Magmatic Gas fuel | −52,355,600 ISK |
| Model floor | 2,311,016,342 ISK / 30 days |
| Floor used by the auction | 2,311,016,342 ISK / month |
Step 7 — what a bidder pays
| Term length | 3 months |
| Minimum monthly bid | 2,311,016,342 ISK (the floor) |
| Prepaid to the alliance on winning | bid × 3 — at the floor, 6,933,049,025 ISK |
| Viability floor | 300,000,000 ISK / month — clears it |
