How the floor is calculated
8-GE2P VII - Moon 4 · 8-GE2P · 8ET-D1
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 | 867.5M | −52.4M | 815.1M | 2.45B |
| Jita split (floor basis) | 885.8M | −52.4M | 833.4M | 2.50B |
| Jita sell | 904.0M | −52.4M | 851.7M | 2.55B |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sylvite | 68.0% | 596,030 | 5,960 |
| Cinnabar | 21.7% | 190,355 | 1,904 |
| Euxenite | 10.2% | 89,615 | 896 |
Step 2 & 3 — reprocess each ore, then value the materials
per material: portions × SDE yield × 90.6% × Jita split price
Sylvite — 528.3M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 21,600,142 | 16 | 351.5M |
| Mexallon | 2,160,014 | 49 | 105.0M |
| Evaporite Deposits | 351,002 | 204 | 71.7M |
Cinnabar — 339.7M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evaporite Deposits | 25,869 | 204 | 5.3M |
| Tungsten | 17,246 | 1k | 22.1M |
| Mercury | 86,231 | 4k | 312.3M |
Euxenite — 17.8M / 30 days
| Material | Units / 30 days | Jita split | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scandium | 32,476 | 547 | 17.8M |
Step 4 — gross
| Refined material (all ores) | Units / 30 days | ISK / 30 days |
|---|---|---|
| Pyerite | 21,600,142 | 351.5M |
| Mercury | 86,231 | 312.3M |
| Mexallon | 2,160,014 | 105.0M |
| Evaporite Deposits | 376,872 | 77.0M |
| Tungsten | 17,246 | 22.1M |
| Scandium | 32,476 | 17.8M |
| Gross | 885,759,849 ISK | |
Step 5 — Magmatic Gas fuel
40 / hr × 730 hr = 29,200 units × 2k = 52,355,600 ISK / 30 days
Step 6 — floor
| Gross | 885,759,849 ISK |
| − Magmatic Gas fuel | −52,355,600 ISK |
| Model floor | 833,404,249 ISK / 30 days |
| Floor used by the auction | 833,404,249 ISK / month |
Step 7 — what a bidder pays
| Term length | 3 months |
| Minimum monthly bid | 833,404,249 ISK (the floor) |
| Prepaid to the alliance on winning | bid × 3 — at the floor, 2,500,212,748 ISK |
| Viability floor | 300,000,000 ISK / month — clears it |
