How the floor is calculated
9-HM04 IV - Moon 6 · 9-HM04 · 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 | 686.3M | −52.4M | 633.9M | 1.90B |
| Jita split (floor basis) | 841.5M | −52.4M | 789.1M | 2.37B |
| Jita sell | 996.7M | −52.4M | 944.3M | 2.83B |
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 | 55.4% | 485,554 | 4,856 |
| Cobaltite | 28.4% | 249,034 | 2,490 |
| Otavite | 16.1% | 141,411 | 1,414 |
Step 2 & 3 — reprocess each ore, then value the materials
per material: portions × SDE yield × 90.6% × Jita split price
Bitumens — 641.7M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 26,394,731 | 16 | 429.6M |
| Mexallon | 1,759,649 | 49 | 85.5M |
| Hydrocarbons | 285,943 | 443 | 126.6M |
Cobaltite — 54.5M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cobalt | 90,250 | 604 | 54.5M |
Otavite — 145.3M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atmospheric Gases | 12,812 | 166 | 2.1M |
| Cadmium | 51,248 | 3k | 143.2M |
Step 4 — gross
| Refined material (all ores) | Units / 30 days | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 26,394,731 | 429.6M |
| Cadmium | 51,248 | 143.2M |
| Hydrocarbons | 285,943 | 126.6M |
| Mexallon | 1,759,649 | 85.5M |
| Cobalt | 90,250 | 54.5M |
| Atmospheric Gases | 12,812 | 2.1M |
| Gross | 841,492,959 ISK | |
Step 5 — Magmatic Gas fuel
40 / hr × 730 hr = 29,200 units × 2k = 52,355,600 ISK / 30 days
Step 6 — floor
| Gross | 841,492,959 ISK |
| − Magmatic Gas fuel | −52,355,600 ISK |
| Model floor | 789,137,359 ISK / 30 days |
| Floor used by the auction | 789,137,359 ISK / month |
Step 7 — what a bidder pays
| Term length | 3 months |
| Minimum monthly bid | 789,137,359 ISK (the floor) |
| Prepaid to the alliance on winning | bid × 3 — at the floor, 2,367,412,077 ISK |
| Viability floor | 300,000,000 ISK / month — clears it |
