How the floor is calculated
8B-SAJ VI - Moon 21 · 8B-SAJ · 9NP-KR
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 | 940.0M | −52.4M | 887.7M | 2.66B |
| Jita split (floor basis) | 962.4M | −52.4M | 910.1M | 2.73B |
| Jita sell | 984.9M | −52.4M | 932.5M | 2.80B |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vanadinite | 42.0% | 367,869 | 3,679 |
| Zeolites | 35.7% | 312,851 | 3,129 |
| Sylvite | 22.3% | 195,280 | 1,953 |
Step 2 & 3 — reprocess each ore, then value the materials
per material: portions × SDE yield × 90.6% × Jita split price
Vanadinite — 334.7M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silicates | 33,329 | 400 | 13.3M |
| Vanadium | 133,316 | 2k | 321.4M |
Zeolites — 454.7M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 22,675,432 | 16 | 369.0M |
| Mexallon | 1,133,772 | 49 | 55.1M |
| Atmospheric Gases | 184,238 | 166 | 30.5M |
Sylvite — 173.1M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 7,076,945 | 16 | 115.2M |
| Mexallon | 707,694 | 49 | 34.4M |
| Evaporite Deposits | 115,000 | 204 | 23.5M |
Step 4 — gross
| Refined material (all ores) | Units / 30 days | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 29,752,377 | 484.2M |
| Vanadium | 133,316 | 321.4M |
| Mexallon | 1,841,466 | 89.5M |
| Atmospheric Gases | 184,238 | 30.5M |
| Evaporite Deposits | 115,000 | 23.5M |
| Silicates | 33,329 | 13.3M |
| Gross | 962,444,641 ISK | |
Step 5 — Magmatic Gas fuel
40 / hr × 730 hr = 29,200 units × 2k = 52,355,600 ISK / 30 days
Step 6 — floor
| Gross | 962,444,641 ISK |
| − Magmatic Gas fuel | −52,355,600 ISK |
| Model floor | 910,089,041 ISK / 30 days |
| Floor used by the auction | 910,089,041 ISK / month |
Step 7 — what a bidder pays
| Term length | 3 months |
| Minimum monthly bid | 910,089,041 ISK (the floor) |
| Prepaid to the alliance on winning | bid × 3 — at the floor, 2,730,267,122 ISK |
| Viability floor | 300,000,000 ISK / month — clears it |
