How the floor is calculated
A-BO4V IX - Moon 16 · A-BO4V · A-Z7C9
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 | 655.8M | −52.4M | 603.4M | 1.81B |
| Jita split (floor basis) | 674.0M | −52.4M | 621.7M | 1.87B |
| Jita sell | 692.3M | −52.4M | 639.9M | 1.92B |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coesite | 58.9% | 516,214 | 5,162 |
| Cobaltite | 26.8% | 234,643 | 2,346 |
| Chromite | 14.3% | 125,143 | 1,251 |
Step 2 & 3 — reprocess each ore, then value the materials
per material: portions × SDE yield × 90.6% × Jita split price
Coesite — 364.7M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 9,353,803 | 16 | 152.2M |
| Mexallon | 1,870,761 | 49 | 90.9M |
| Silicates | 303,999 | 400 | 121.6M |
Cobaltite — 51.4M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cobalt | 85,035 | 604 | 51.4M |
Chromite — 257.9M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrocarbons | 11,338 | 443 | 5.0M |
| Chromium | 45,352 | 6k | 252.9M |
Step 4 — gross
| Refined material (all ores) | Units / 30 days | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|
| Chromium | 45,352 | 252.9M |
| Pyerite | 9,353,803 | 152.2M |
| Silicates | 303,999 | 121.6M |
| Mexallon | 1,870,761 | 90.9M |
| Cobalt | 85,035 | 51.4M |
| Hydrocarbons | 11,338 | 5.0M |
| Gross | 674,036,380 ISK | |
Step 5 — Magmatic Gas fuel
40 / hr × 730 hr = 29,200 units × 2k = 52,355,600 ISK / 30 days
Step 6 — floor
| Gross | 674,036,380 ISK |
| − Magmatic Gas fuel | −52,355,600 ISK |
| Model floor | 621,680,780 ISK / 30 days |
| Floor used by the auction | 621,680,780 ISK / month |
Step 7 — what a bidder pays
| Term length | 3 months |
| Minimum monthly bid | 621,680,780 ISK (the floor) |
| Prepaid to the alliance on winning | bid × 3 — at the floor, 1,865,042,341 ISK |
| Viability floor | 300,000,000 ISK / month — clears it |
