How the floor is calculated
F2OY-X V - Moon 5 · F2OY-X · 3B-IWE
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 | 4.19B | −52.4M | 4.14B | 12.42B |
| Jita split (floor basis) | 4.39B | −52.4M | 4.34B | 13.02B |
| Jita sell | 4.59B | −52.4M | 4.54B | 13.62B |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cobaltite | 41.5% | 363,190 | 3,632 |
| Loparite | 38.4% | 336,034 | 3,360 |
| Sperrylite | 20.2% | 176,777 | 1,768 |
Step 2 & 3 — reprocess each ore, then value the materials
per material: portions × SDE yield × 90.6% × Jita split price
Cobaltite — 79.5M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cobalt | 131,620 | 604 | 79.5M |
Loparite — 3.83B / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrocarbons | 60,889 | 443 | 27.0M |
| Scandium | 60,889 | 547 | 33.3M |
| Platinum | 30,445 | 8k | 229.7M |
| Promethium | 66,978 | 53k | 3.54B |
Sperrylite — 486.6M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evaporite Deposits | 16,016 | 204 | 3.3M |
| Platinum | 64,064 | 8k | 483.3M |
Step 4 — gross
| Refined material (all ores) | Units / 30 days | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|
| Promethium | 66,978 | 3.54B |
| Platinum | 94,509 | 713.0M |
| Cobalt | 131,620 | 79.5M |
| Scandium | 60,889 | 33.3M |
| Hydrocarbons | 60,889 | 27.0M |
| Evaporite Deposits | 16,016 | 3.3M |
| Gross | 4,391,838,629 ISK | |
Step 5 — Magmatic Gas fuel
40 / hr × 730 hr = 29,200 units × 2k = 52,355,600 ISK / 30 days
Step 6 — floor
| Gross | 4,391,838,629 ISK |
| − Magmatic Gas fuel | −52,355,600 ISK |
| Model floor | 4,339,483,029 ISK / 30 days |
| Floor used by the auction | 4,339,483,029 ISK / month |
Step 7 — what a bidder pays
| Term length | 3 months |
| Minimum monthly bid | 4,339,483,029 ISK (the floor) |
| Prepaid to the alliance on winning | bid × 3 — at the floor, 13,018,449,088 ISK |
| Viability floor | 300,000,000 ISK / month — clears it |
