How the floor is calculated
8-YNBE IX - Moon 1 · 8-YNBE · 4QZ-2M
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 | 1.23B | −52.4M | 1.18B | 3.53B |
| Jita split (floor basis) | 1.26B | −52.4M | 1.21B | 3.63B |
| Jita sell | 1.29B | −52.4M | 1.24B | 3.72B |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitumens | 39.8% | 348,714 | 3,487 |
| Chromite | 36.0% | 315,540 | 3,155 |
| Coesite | 24.2% | 211,747 | 2,117 |
Step 2 & 3 — reprocess each ore, then value the materials
per material: portions × SDE yield × 90.6% × Jita split price
Bitumens — 460.8M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 18,956,088 | 16 | 308.5M |
| Mexallon | 1,263,739 | 49 | 61.4M |
| Hydrocarbons | 205,358 | 443 | 90.9M |
Chromite — 650.3M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrocarbons | 28,588 | 443 | 12.7M |
| Chromium | 114,352 | 6k | 637.7M |
Coesite — 149.6M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 3,836,847 | 16 | 62.4M |
| Mexallon | 767,369 | 49 | 37.3M |
| Silicates | 124,698 | 400 | 49.9M |
Step 4 — gross
| Refined material (all ores) | Units / 30 days | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|
| Chromium | 114,352 | 637.7M |
| Pyerite | 22,792,935 | 371.0M |
| Hydrocarbons | 233,946 | 103.6M |
| Mexallon | 2,031,109 | 98.7M |
| Silicates | 124,698 | 49.9M |
| Gross | 1,260,791,074 ISK | |
Step 5 — Magmatic Gas fuel
40 / hr × 730 hr = 29,200 units × 2k = 52,355,600 ISK / 30 days
Step 6 — floor
| Gross | 1,260,791,074 ISK |
| − Magmatic Gas fuel | −52,355,600 ISK |
| Model floor | 1,208,435,474 ISK / 30 days |
| Floor used by the auction | 1,208,435,474 ISK / month |
Step 7 — what a bidder pays
| Term length | 3 months |
| Minimum monthly bid | 1,208,435,474 ISK (the floor) |
| Prepaid to the alliance on winning | bid × 3 — at the floor, 3,625,306,422 ISK |
| Viability floor | 300,000,000 ISK / month — clears it |
