How the floor is calculated
8QT-H4 IX - Moon 16 · 8QT-H4 · MPJW-6
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 | 812.1M | −52.4M | 759.7M | 2.28B |
| Jita split (floor basis) | 827.4M | −52.4M | 775.0M | 2.33B |
| Jita sell | 842.7M | −52.4M | 790.3M | 2.37B |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zeolites | 50.4% | 441,316 | 4,413 |
| Cobaltite | 34.6% | 303,178 | 3,032 |
| Vanadinite | 15.0% | 131,506 | 1,315 |
Step 2 & 3 — reprocess each ore, then value the materials
per material: portions × SDE yield × 90.6% × Jita split price
Zeolites — 641.4M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 31,986,570 | 16 | 520.6M |
| Mexallon | 1,599,329 | 49 | 77.7M |
| Atmospheric Gases | 259,891 | 166 | 43.1M |
Cobaltite — 66.4M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cobalt | 109,872 | 604 | 66.4M |
Vanadinite — 119.6M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silicates | 11,914 | 400 | 4.8M |
| Vanadium | 47,658 | 2k | 114.9M |
Step 4 — gross
| Refined material (all ores) | Units / 30 days | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 31,986,570 | 520.6M |
| Vanadium | 47,658 | 114.9M |
| Mexallon | 1,599,329 | 77.7M |
| Cobalt | 109,872 | 66.4M |
| Atmospheric Gases | 259,891 | 43.1M |
| Silicates | 11,914 | 4.8M |
| Gross | 827,398,641 ISK | |
Step 5 — Magmatic Gas fuel
40 / hr × 730 hr = 29,200 units × 2k = 52,355,600 ISK / 30 days
Step 6 — floor
| Gross | 827,398,641 ISK |
| − Magmatic Gas fuel | −52,355,600 ISK |
| Model floor | 775,043,041 ISK / 30 days |
| Floor used by the auction | 775,043,041 ISK / month |
Step 7 — what a bidder pays
| Term length | 3 months |
| Minimum monthly bid | 775,043,041 ISK (the floor) |
| Prepaid to the alliance on winning | bid × 3 — at the floor, 2,325,129,123 ISK |
| Viability floor | 300,000,000 ISK / month — clears it |
