How the floor is calculated
BX-VEX IX - Moon 3 · BX-VEX · 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 | 5.60B | −52.4M | 5.55B | 16.65B |
| Jita split (floor basis) | 5.81B | −52.4M | 5.76B | 17.27B |
| Jita sell | 6.01B | −52.4M | 5.96B | 17.88B |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sperrylite | 52.1% | 456,571 | 4,566 |
| Loparite | 24.8% | 217,160 | 2,172 |
| Xenotime | 23.1% | 202,268 | 2,023 |
Step 2 & 3 — reprocess each ore, then value the materials
per material: portions × SDE yield × 90.6% × Jita split price
Sperrylite — 1.26B / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evaporite Deposits | 41,365 | 204 | 8.5M |
| Platinum | 165,461 | 8k | 1.25B |
Loparite — 2.47B / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrocarbons | 39,349 | 443 | 17.4M |
| Scandium | 39,349 | 547 | 21.5M |
| Platinum | 19,675 | 8k | 148.4M |
| Promethium | 43,284 | 53k | 2.28B |
Xenotime — 2.08B / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atmospheric Gases | 36,651 | 166 | 6.1M |
| Cobalt | 36,651 | 604 | 22.1M |
| Vanadium | 18,326 | 2k | 44.2M |
| Dysprosium | 40,316 | 50k | 2.01B |
Step 4 — gross
| Refined material (all ores) | Units / 30 days | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|
| Promethium | 43,284 | 2.28B |
| Dysprosium | 40,316 | 2.01B |
| Platinum | 185,136 | 1.40B |
| Vanadium | 18,326 | 44.2M |
| Cobalt | 36,651 | 22.1M |
| Scandium | 39,349 | 21.5M |
| Hydrocarbons | 39,349 | 17.4M |
| Evaporite Deposits | 41,365 | 8.5M |
| Atmospheric Gases | 36,651 | 6.1M |
| Gross | 5,807,853,237 ISK | |
Step 5 — Magmatic Gas fuel
40 / hr × 730 hr = 29,200 units × 2k = 52,355,600 ISK / 30 days
Step 6 — floor
| Gross | 5,807,853,237 ISK |
| − Magmatic Gas fuel | −52,355,600 ISK |
| Model floor | 5,755,497,637 ISK / 30 days |
| Floor used by the auction | 5,755,497,637 ISK / month |
Step 7 — what a bidder pays
| Term length | 3 months |
| Minimum monthly bid | 5,755,497,637 ISK (the floor) |
| Prepaid to the alliance on winning | bid × 3 — at the floor, 17,266,492,910 ISK |
| Viability floor | 300,000,000 ISK / month — clears it |
