eve online industry guide

Certainly! EVE Online industry is a complex but rewarding aspect of the game, allowing players to manufacture ships, modules, ammunition, and more. Heres a comprehensive guide to getting started and optimizing your industrial operations: Understanding Industry Basics Industry in EVE Online involves: Manufacturing (building items from blueprints and materials) Reverse Engineering (creating blueprints from existing items) Invention (creating Tech 2 blueprints from Tech 1) Reactions (producing intermediate materials for Tech 3 and advanced manufacturing) Planetary Interaction (PI) (gathering raw materials for industry) Getting Started a) Skills to Train Industry (reduces manufacturing time) Advanced Industry (allows more jobs) Mass Production (more efficient manufacturing) Science (for research & blueprint copying) Metallurgy (for material efficiency research) Laboratory Operation (faster research) Blueprint Understanding (reduces invention cost) For T2 production, youll also need: Electromagnetic Physics, Rocket Science, etc. (depends on the item) Invention-related skills (e.g., Data Science, Encryption Methods) b) Blueprints (BPs) Original Blueprints (BPCs/BPOs) Can be bought from NPCs or players. Tech 1 (T1) Blueprints Used for basic manufacturing. Tech 2 (T2) Blueprints Created via Invention from T1 BPs. Tech 3 (T3) Blueprints Obtained from Relic Sites or the market. Manufacturing Process a) Gathering Materials Buy from markets (Jita, Amarr, etc.). Mine ores and refine them into minerals. Use Planetary Interaction (PI) for advanced materials. Salvage modules for T2/T3 production. b) Setting Up Jobs Use Stations (NPC or player-owned) or Engineering Complexes (ECs) (more efficient). POS (Player-Owned Structures) or Citadels can also be used. Rigs (e.g., Material Efficiency Rig) reduce waste. c) Calculating Profit Use tools like: EVE IPH (Industry Profit Helper) EVE Isk Per Hour Fuzzworks Industry Calculator Advanced Industry: T2 & T3 Production a) Invention (T2 Blueprints) Requires T1 BPC + Datacores + Relic/Data items. Success chance depends on skills and decryptors. Use Invention slots in stations or ECs. b) Reactions (T3 & Advanced Materials) Moon Reactions (for advanced materials like Technetium, Promethium). PI Reactions (for components like Robotics, Coolant). Requires Reaction Formulas and a POS/Citadel with a Reactor. c) Tech 3 Production Requires T3 Cruiser BPCs from relic sites. Uses Salvaged Materials (e.g., Sleeper Components). Optimizing Industry Use Engineering Complexes (ECs) for bonuses (e.g., Athanor for reactions, Tatara for refining). Research Material Efficiency on BPOs to reduce waste. Use Rigs (e.g., Time Efficiency Rigs for faster jobs). Join an Industry Corp for access to better facilities. Planetary Interaction (PI) for Industry Extract raw materials (e.g., P0 P1 P2 P3). Used in T2/T3 production (e.g., Robotics, Coolant, Mechanical Parts). Best in nullsec/lowsec (higher yields). Trading & Selling Your Products Sell in trade hubs (Jita, Amarr, Dodixie, Rens, Hek). Use hauling services (Red Frog, PushX) if needed. Consider contracts for bulk sales.

Watch market trends (war = high demand for ships/modules). Use alts for hauling/research to maximize efficiency.
