How the floor is calculated
9-HM04 IV - Moon 7 · 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 | 886.6M | −52.4M | 834.3M | 2.50B |
| Jita split (floor basis) | 910.2M | −52.4M | 857.8M | 2.57B |
| Jita sell | 933.7M | −52.4M | 881.3M | 2.64B |
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 | 41.4% | 362,445 | 3,624 |
| Vanadinite | 38.4% | 336,165 | 3,362 |
| Coesite | 20.2% | 177,390 | 1,774 |
Step 2 & 3 — reprocess each ore, then value the materials
per material: portions × SDE yield × 90.6% × Jita split price
Bitumens — 479.0M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 19,702,510 | 16 | 320.7M |
| Mexallon | 1,313,501 | 49 | 63.8M |
| Hydrocarbons | 213,444 | 443 | 94.5M |
Vanadinite — 305.8M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silicates | 30,457 | 400 | 12.2M |
| Vanadium | 121,826 | 2k | 293.7M |
Coesite — 125.3M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 3,214,307 | 16 | 52.3M |
| Mexallon | 642,861 | 49 | 31.2M |
| Silicates | 104,465 | 400 | 41.8M |
Step 4 — gross
| Refined material (all ores) | Units / 30 days | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 22,916,817 | 373.0M |
| Vanadium | 121,826 | 293.7M |
| Mexallon | 1,956,362 | 95.1M |
| Hydrocarbons | 213,444 | 94.5M |
| Silicates | 134,922 | 54.0M |
| Gross | 910,168,042 ISK | |
Step 5 — Magmatic Gas fuel
40 / hr × 730 hr = 29,200 units × 2k = 52,355,600 ISK / 30 days
Step 6 — floor
| Gross | 910,168,042 ISK |
| − Magmatic Gas fuel | −52,355,600 ISK |
| Model floor | 857,812,442 ISK / 30 days |
| Floor used by the auction | 857,812,442 ISK / month |
Step 7 — what a bidder pays
| Term length | 3 months |
| Minimum monthly bid | 857,812,442 ISK (the floor) |
| Prepaid to the alliance on winning | bid × 3 — at the floor, 2,573,437,325 ISK |
| Viability floor | 300,000,000 ISK / month — clears it |
