| In the EVE universe, the vast majority of items are manufactured by player characters and traded in a relatively free way in the marketplace. Students of economics will note that these markets are neither perfect nor efficient in the technical senses; volumes of many items are low enough that the market can be (and is) manipulated, and supply of materials and modules is partly provided by loot drops in missions, which can be adjusted without warning by the game developers. Similarly, the developers may adjust the requirements for a manufacturing process, or increase the availability of ore, or otherwise mess in the sandbox.

| | |<Pilot>, it's good to see you. I have something a little outside of the ordinary that needs taking care of. A personal business opportunity for the both of us, I guess you could say. |
|
| |
|
| Nonetheless, manufacturing and selling items can provide interest and ISK profit for the careful and canny player. The player must be aware, however, that there are plenty of items which actually destroy value - that is, there are a great number of T1 items, modules especially, that are worth '''less''' than the cost of manufacture. There are many more items which can be sold at a profit, but only in a limited volume in certain markets. Manufacture in these cases may simply be an alternative to hauling stuff between markets.
| | Have you ever heard of Anire Scarlet? Well, she's practically an urban legend among the local pirates. It seems any outlaw with a clone bay and rhetorical skills can amass a following these days. The sorts of degenerates that hang around this area are easily impressed too. It seems Anire has built quite a posse, but then, that could just be another one of the myths about her. |
|
| |
|
| ==Skills==
| | As for where you come in: all this attention has earned her a CONCORD bounty. I'd very much like to claim that ISK, <Pilot>, with your help. I've hired an undercover surveillance team to locate her, and they've had some luck turning up a lead. If you're able to follow it up and take her out then we can split the bounty money equally. The surveillance team found her flagship vessel, The Crimson Dawn. She is sure to be either inside it, or very close by. If you think yourself capable of eliminating her, then I'll trade you the coordinates. |

| |
|
| * {{sk|Industry|mult=yes}} - 4% reduction in manufacturing time per skill level.<br>At least level 1 is required to use most blueprints, and level 3 is required for further manufacturing skills. The speed bonus increases the rate at which you can produce items (and therefore, produce profit) and reduces installation costs slightly (confirm?).
| |
| * {{sk|Advanced Industry|mult=yes}} - 3% reduction in all manufacturing & research time per skill level.<br>This skill adds not only a fairly substantial further time reduction in manufacturing, but also a time reduction in all [[research]] and [[invention]] jobs. Whilst less noticeable when building small items individually, these time-savers really add up when doing multiple runs and building large ships.
| |
|
| |
|
| Increase number of concurrent jobs:
| | Every pocket in this mission has ships from one randomly selected faction. Your fit should be able to fight with all of them. You can bring an extra ''Gate Key'' to skip warpin area or to give to fleet members. |
| * {{sk|Mass Production|mult=yes}} - Allows 1 additional job per level. <br>By default, all characters can run 1 manufacturing job at a time. Training this skill lets you run additional jobs simultaneously from 2 jobs at I up to 6 jobs at V. Any industrialist who wants to create things will need to train this to IV or V fairly early in their plans.
| |
| * {{sk|Advanced Mass Production|mult=yes}} - Allows 1 additional job per level. <br>Once you train Mass Production to V, you can then train Advanced Mass Production, for a further increase in concurrent jobs. Having this skill at IV gives you 10 manufacturing lines (1 + 5 + 4), which is enough for most people. Training to V takes around 28 days, making it only of interest to dedicated manufacturing characters.
| |
|
| |
|
| Allow remote management of jobs:
| | The mission pockets are [[Deadspace|semi deadspace]]. This means that you can warp within a pocket grid but any warps from outside the pocket will land on the warpin area. |
| * {{sk|Supply Chain Management|mult=yes}} - Allows starting jobs remotely. +5 jumps per level. <br>Without training this skill, you can start jobs anywhere in the current system. Each level in this skill gives you the ability to start manufacturing jobs an extra 5 jumps away, to the maximum of 25 jumps at level V (this may include other regions).<br>This skill is more of a convenience skill than a must-have for a budding industrialist - allowing you to manage your production lines for a distance. If you invest in this skill, training to level III or maybe level IV would offer the most return on time investment. Note that you still have to haul the materials and blueprint to the relevant station.

| Production of Tech 1 items - ships, modules, ammunition, rigs or even components - is the simplest of manufacturing tasks, within reach of even the newest player to EVE. Although whether they will actually be able to make a profit is another question entirely. Very few skills are needed for T1 production, and the materials are often fairly easily acquired.
| | you can warp in at distance to snipe. |
|
| |
|
| All T1 manufacturing jobs require a blueprint. These come in two forms: originals (BPOs) with infinite runs and copies (BPCs) that can only be run a limited number of times. For most blueprints, a single run of a blueprint will produce a single item, but there are some exceptions - most obviously ammunition, which produces 100 units per run.
| | At first some merchants are on the gate. The hostiles arrive soon. The hostiles are either Serpentis ships or Angel ships. |
|
| |
|
| Many manufacturers use BPCs, copied from a BPO, to manufacture from, for a variety of reasons, including security and the ability to run multiple production lines. For more details, see [[Research#Why should I copy my BPOs?|Why should I copy my BPOs?]]

|
| ==== Selecting the item to produce ==== | | === 1st pocket === |
| T1 BPOs are seeded by various NPC traders, with costs varying from 100,000 to 75 billion ISK. This can be a significant cost, especially to new players. Also significant is the amount of research time that may be spent on the blueprint. Selecting a good one versus a bad one is important!
| | You will see Anire Scarlet when you warp in but she warps to next pocket before you have time to engage. |
|
| |
|
| A good item will have these characteristics:
| | This room contains either Guristas ships or Blood Raider ships. |
|
| |
|
| * '''Inexpensive Materials''' - The material cost should be such that you can reasonably expect to manufacture a decent number of items, and you won't be bankrupt if you lose them while trying to sell them. There isn't a rule on how much cost is too much, but if you need a number then keep the cost of an item below 1% of your net worth. This will not be a problem for players with a large wallet, but can be an issue for new players starting out in manufacturing. Loading the potential BPO into the Industry window will provide an estimate of the material cost.
| | Gate to next room is not locked so you can skip combat. The gate is 29 km away. |
|
| |
|
| * '''Good Profit Margins''' - The difference between the selling price and the cost to manufacture should be worthwhile. Be sure to compare the absolute profit (ISK) and percent profit (% of selling price) and make sure both are worth your time. What makes it worth your time? It is up to the individual, but strive for at least 10% per item. Profits of 80% have been witnessed by players as young as 2 months to EVE, but they are rare and tend to disappear.

| | {{NPCTableRow|Battlecruiser|3-5|Pithatis Enforcer/...}} |
| | {{NPCTableRow|Battleship|4|Pith Exterminator/Eliminator|ewar= ECM}} |
| | |} |
|
| |
|
| * '''Good Transaction Volume''' - If you find an item that is extremely profitable but is only sold once per week, then it has poor transaction volume. There is no guarantee that you can capture all (or even most) of the sales of a particular item! To check the volume of an item, use the Market window. If you choose an item, click on the Price History tab. If it shows a graph, you can see daily sales volume by clicking the Show Table button in the bottom of the window. This will show you how many of an item were sold each day in the region over the past year.

| | {{NPCTableRow|Cruiser|4|Corpum Arch Priest/...}} |
| | {{NPCTableRow|Battleship|4|Corpus Cardinal/Monsignor}} |
| | |} |
|
| |
|
| There are many items that do meet all three requirements. Finding them is a matter of a lot of research time looking for items that meet your criteria. Typically it is easiest to search through the market tab looking for items with sufficient volume, then go to the BPO research calculator to compare the prices to selling volumes. Once you choose a blueprint, the BPO Research Calculator will also tell you what faction sells the BPOs you have chosen.
| | === 2nd pocket === |
| | You can see Anire again when you warp in. This time you will have enough time to get one or two shots at her. If you have enough DPS you can kill her here and complete the mission prematurely. If you manage to kill her here you will be able to loot an +3 charisma implant from her wreck. Anire Scarlet is most vulnerable to EM/Thermal damage; it is advisable to preload EMP ammo or Mjolnir missiles before warping into the pocket. |
|
| |
|
| === job installation fee ===
| | This room contains initially either Serpentis ships or Serpentis and Guristas ships. Regardless of which are present first more Guristas battleships will spawn as reinforcement. |
|
| |
|
| Raw materials are not the only cost of production. The act of installing the manufacturing job costs too. The job installation fee is a factor which cannot be ignored in choosing where to base your manufacturing operation is the installation cost of industry jobs. This cost is dynamic, so if a large number of other manufacturers join you in the system, it may save you money to move elsewhere (weighed against the cost in time and effort of moving all your materials to a new system).
| | The gate to next room is again unlocked. The gate is 19 km away. |

| | The initial defenders are from a random faction. The spawn's faction is based on the initial defender's faction, if Guristas, then the spawn will be Blood Raider, if Angels then Serpentis.<br>Anire Scarlet deals quite high damage for a battlecruiser. |

| [[File:Manufacturing job.png|thumb|Installing a manufacturing job is easy. Select the blueprint, select job type as manufacturing job, set the ammoount of runs and press start. If using containers or corporation hangars you may need to change the input and output locations.]]
| |
| Once you have a blueprint and materials ready, and decided which system to manufacture in, it's time to produce your goods. Most of the time you'll be using an NPC station to manufacture goods.
| |
|
| |
|
| Engineering complexes and citadels with the appropriate service module online can also be used to manufacture goods. Engineering complexes provide a modest material savings (1%) and significant time savings (15% - 30% depending on size) over NPC stations; these savings can be further increased for certain categories of goods by installing the appropriate rigs to the structure.

|
| Gather the materials and BPO (or BPC) in your station hangar, and open the industry window. You will need to find your blueprint using the drop-down selection boxes. Click the blueprint to install it to the main industry window. Or you can start te job from the blueprint in your hangar

|
| |
|
| Simply choose the number of runs, check the input/output locations (most of the time this will simply be Item Hangar, but if you have your own personal corporation or use containers for sorting you may need to change them) and press Start.

| | {{NPCTableRow|Battlecruiser|4|Corpatis Bishop/Seer}} |
| | {{NPCTableRow|Battleship|4|Corpus Archon/Prophet}} |
| | |} |
|
| |
|
| While the job is running, you can check on its progress using the same Industry window, in the Jobs tab. Select the Jobs tab, and a list of your currently running jobs will be displayed. You can cancel the job if you want your blueprint back for some reason, but none of the materials used or installation costs will be refunded.
| | {{NPCTableHead|Initial defenders (Serpentis variant 1)}} |
| | {{NPCTableRow|Battlecruiser|4|Corelatis Squad Leader/Wing Leader}} |
| | {{NPCTableRow|Battleship|4|Core Baron/Commodore}} |
| | |} |
|
| |
|
| Finally, once the job is completed, job listed in the Jobs tab will contain a large Deliver button instead of a time remaining display; press this and the results & blueprint will be returned to the station.

| {{expansion past| You also had the option of selecting a [[Teams|Team]] to assist your manufacturing process, if there was one in the system. If the team you wished to use modified material efficiency, deciding whether to use it would be a simple matter of comparing installation cost increase to estimate input cost decrease ''(with the proviso that it was only an estimation, not an actual value)''. If the team modified time efficiency, it may have been more difficult to decide whether to use one.}} | | {{NPCTableHead|Initial defenders (Serpentis variant 2)}} |

|
| |
|
| ==== Beware of rounding "errors"! ====
| | {{NPCTableHead|Reinforcements (100 km)}} |
| A particular problem that can quickly cost you a million ISK or two when manufacturing T2 items is the rounding that is applied as an effect of material efficiency. The rounding is done per job instead of per run. a single industry job with 3 runs can use ''less'' material than 3 single jobs from the same blueprint!
| | {{NPCTableRow|Battleship|5|Corpus Cardinal/Patriarch}} |
| | |} |
|
| |
|
| Additionally the manuring job will require at least one item of each type per run. This is most notable when the job requires one item per run. With 100 runs and 10% material reduction you would assume that you would need 90 items but you still need 100 items.

| ==Storyline production==
| |
|
| |
|
| [[COSMOS|COSMOS missions]] and data sites are a source of storyline module blueprint copies. These modules require rare components that can be found in data sites, relic sites and COSMOS sites.
| |
|
| |
|
| To manufacture them you will also need few extra skills:

| ==Booster production==
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Drug_map.png|right|256 px|thumb|Industry map of drugs. Manufacturing of improved and strong drugs requires multiple multiple raw gas sources.]]
| |
| Boosters are manufactured from mytoserocin and cytoserocin gas harvested from clouds in [[cosmic signatures]] found in known space. These signatures only spawn in specific regions of New Eden. These gasses are distinct from the fullerine gasses found in wormholes, which are used to create Tech III ships and subsystems.
| |
| | |
| Booster production requires following skill:
| |
| | |
| * {{sk|Drug Manufacturing}} - Required for manufacturing drugs.
| |
| | |
| If you also want to refine the gas used for drug manufacturing you will need the relevant [[Reactions|reaction]] skills.
| |
| | |
| === Processing gas ===
| |
| Gas must be processed into pure booster material before the final product is created. This is done using reactors at a [[Refinery|refinery]] structure.
| |
| | |
| Pure boosters use Simple Reactions at a Standup Biochemical Reactor I. These structures can only be installed at a refinery in .4 or lower security space. Besides the gas, the reactions also require an additional unit, which varies based on the grade of the booster. Synth reactions need Garbage, Standard reactions require Water, Improved reactions require either Spirits or Oxygen, depending on the exact product, and Strong reactions require Hydrochloric Acid.
| |
| | |
| === Booster creation ===
| |
| Boosters themselves are created as a normal manufacturing job in industry window. This has no security requirements, and can be done in high security space. Manufactoring the final booster product requires the pure booster material of the desired grade covered in the above section, megacyte, and an appropriate blueprint.
| |
| | |
| == Tech II production ==
| |
| | |
| T2 manufacturing requires T2 BPCs, which are 'invented' through the invention process. This is a chance-based process, requiring a lot of skill investment in advance, and you are not guaranteed to get a T2 BPCs at the end of it. Some T2 manufacturers do not invent, but instead merely buy T2 BPC packs from dedicated inventors. See [[Invention]] for more details on the invention process.
| |
| | |
| There are also limited number of extremely valuable tech II blueprint '''originals''' in circulation. These were seeded years ago in the so called "Blueprint lottery" and new tech II blueprint originals will never enter the game.
| |
| | |
| T2 production also requires much wider range of materials compared to tech I production.
| |
| | |
| === Skills Required ===
| |
| | |
| The main difference between tech 2 and tech 1 manufacturing is the increased skill requirement, and the many more different types of input materials required. Not all T2 manufacturers will have all these skills, some may specialize in (for example) constructing only Minmatar ships, and thus have only those skills. Most of these skills are the same as those required for invention. Different blueprints require these skills at different levels, but in general: the larger the ship or item, the higher skill level will be required. Most of these skills also give a 1% time efficiency bonus per level.

| : Two of these skills are required to build each T2 (non-ship) item. These are the same as the skills required to invent that T2 item. Consult a blueprint to find out which skills at which level are required to build that item. Example (see right): Nanofiber Internal Structure II BPC requires Nanite Engineering and Molecular Engineering.
| |
| | |
| === T2 Required Materials ===
| |
| | |
| Whereas the majority of T1 production requires only minerals, the range of input materials required hugely expands for T2 production - moons, planets, items and components are all potential sources of materials for T2 production. Not all T2 blueprints require every single source of input material, but one particular additional input required for most T2 manufacturing is a T1 item of the similar type. For example building a T2 nanofiber requires a single T1 nanofiber, some Remote Assembly Modules (Armor/Hull Tech R.A.M.s), extra minerals (Morphite) and some planetary materials (Construction Blocks).
| |
| | |
| ==== Moon Materials ====
| |
| | |
| Moon materials are produced via moon mining, which is an activity only possible in 0.5 security space and lower, and requires a Refinery anchored next to the moon mining beacon you wish to mine from and fitted with Moon Drill module. It is also very lucrative, and some moons are fought over regularly, so being able to defend your structure is necessary if you wish to maintain your moon mining operation. Moon mining is an activity carried out on the corporation or alliance level, and thus generally not possible (to run a profitable operation) as a solo player.
| |
| | |
| Moon materials - basic elements such as Chromium, Technetium and Tungsten, which can be found in the Reaction Materials > Raw Moon Materials section of the market - are mined and then reacted together in the refinery to produce advanced moon materials - such as Tungsten Carbide, Fullerides and Fermionic Condensates. It is possible however to run a profitable reaction only operation: buying the raw moon materials on the market, reacting them together in your refinery (and it does have to be in lowsec or nullsec) and then selling or using the advanced moon materials.
| |
| | |
| These advanced materials are sometimes used directly in T2 item manufacturing, but more often used in the construction of advanced components, which are then in turn used in T2 manufacturing.
| |
| | |
| See [[Moon mining]] and [[Reactions]] for more details.
| |
| | |
| ==== Components ====
| |
| | |
| Advanced components are the most common type, and are manufactured exclusively from moon materials. They are used in the majority of T2 manufacturing, T2 ships in particular using large numbers of multiple different types of component. Components come in Amarr, Caldari, Gallente and Minmatar flavours, with the icon coloured according to which race they 'belong' to. The advanced component manufacturing process is just like any other T1 manufacturing process, except that the inputs are moon materials, and one particular science skill (see list of T2 skills required above) is required for each component.
| |
| | |
| Tech 2 items frequently use these racial components as well as ships, and the particular racial component(s) they require will be the same as the racial encryption skill and the racial data interface item required to invent the BPC.
| |
| | |
| ==== Robotic Assembly Modules (R.A.M.s) ====
| |
| | |
| Robotic Assembly Modules, more commonly known as R.A.M.s, are robotic assembly units that build things for you. They are manufactured from minerals just like any other T1 manufacturing process. Nine different R.A.M.s exist, for different types of construction: Starship Tech, Ammunition Tech, Cybernetics, etc.
| |
| | |
| ==== Planetary Materials ====

| [[Planetary Interaction]] can be done with the same character you might use for production, and thus save you expenditure on the market (although, just like minerals you mine are not free, neither are planetary materials you produce).

| == T3 Production ==
| |
| {{main|Tech 3 Production}}
| |
| Tech 3 ships, also known as Strategic Cruisers and tactical destroyers have their own specialised construction process, which is a combination of [[invention]] using ancient relics from relic sites, and including datacores gathered from data sites - to discover the BPCs for hulls and subsystems, and then built using those BPCs with materials gathered from within w-space - including gas clouds (which are reacted in a reactor array), [[Sleeper]] salvage and normal minerals.

| == Capital Ship Construction ==
| |
| | |
| Capital ship construction can be an extremely lucrative business, although requiring a large initial investment, and, depending on what capital you are constructing, may need to be based in losec, or even sovereign nullsec.
| |
| | |
| * {{sk|Capital Ship Construction|mult=yes}} is required in order to build capital ships or capital ship components. The following levels unlock the following blueprints:
| |
| : ''Level 1:'' all capital ship components, all capital modules, freighters, [[Orca]]<br>
| |
| : ''Level 3:'' carriers, dreadnoughts, fighters, fighter-bombers<br>
| |
| : ''Level 4:'' supercarriers, jump freighters, [[Rorqual]]<br>
| |
| : ''Level 5:'' titans
| |
| | |
| Capital ships are built from capital ship components, which are in turn manufactured from minerals. There is no restriction on where capital ship components can be built, and apart from the increased skill requirement there is no difference from other T1 manufacturing. Freighters and the Orca can then be constructed in any manufacturing facility using the relevant T1 ship BPO or BPC, from the components previously built.
| |
| | |
| Carriers, dreadnoughts & the Rorqual are capital ships that may not enter hisec, and so you cannot build them in hisec either. They can be constructed in any station in lowsec or nullsec with a manufacturing facility, but apart from that restriction, are constructed in the same way as freighters or the Orca.
| |
| | |
| These ships may also be constructed at a Large or Extra Large size citadel or engineering complex (i.e. Fortizar, Azbel, Keepstar, or Sotiyo) with a '''Standup Capital Shipyard I''' module installed. This module is installable in lowsec and nullsec only. Engineering complexes, and structures with appropriate rigs, will provide their usual cost reductions as applicable.
| |
| | |
| === Supercapital Construction ===
| |
| Supercarriers and titans cannot even dock in NPC stations, never mind enter hisec, and so you cannot build them in stations either. They must be built at a Sotye engineering complex with a Standup Supercapital Shipyard I service module. installed. This module may only be brought online in systems where the complex owner has sovereignty, and has installed a Supercapital Construction Facilities infrastructure upgrade. Supercapital construction takes an [[Media:Avatar construction.png|exceedingly long time]]).
| |
| | |
| Note that while appropriately fit Sotiyo engineering complexes can build and launch supercapitals, such ships will not be able to re-dock once launched. The only structures that support supercapital docking are Keepstar citadels.
| |
| | |
| Because supercapital ship construction must take place in a player-owned structure, this means supercapital ships under construction are vulnerable to attack, unless you can defend your infrastructure effectively. Many titans have been 'aborted' by a hostile force destroying the POS and assembly array during construction.
