So I have had a problem with manufacturing where I'll sift through my blueprints, decide on what I'm going to build, transport the materials to where it's being built and then I'll forget half of what I was going to build. This leads to wasted materials from building the wrong things and general inefficiencies. This is compounded with alts where I have to trade things around.
EVEGuru has a solution for that though, and I have changed my process a bit. Once I have all the blueprints I need I can go to the options and untick "not owned" so it will only look at the profitability of my actually owned blueprints, then as I decide what to build I can update the quantities and tick that item.
When I have enough for all my slots (or all my money) I can add these to the production ledger and call it something like "14/01 high sec". This tells me which characters it relates to and when I started it. I then buy the stuff (I still use the buy all window in the in game industry so I don't get wasted mats) and when I get to the other end I can use the production ledger as a reference to kick off my jobs!
Once I have all of the runs going I can mark the run as complete, it's served its purpose by that point. For multi step production (e.g. tech 2) I can keep the stages up to date correctly to help me manage. I've already found this leading to a greater utilisation of slots, which is huge for me.
I really need to look into EVEguru, I have it installed but the trial was good for one character and it didn't really explain things as well as I hoped so I've been making spreadsheets for my manufacturing from scratch.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I know how it feels, the past week or two I have been trying to build a moros from scratch. The amount of things I forgot to bring from Jita is too damn high!
I'd say it's one of my main gripes with industry - forgetting things! And I'm nowhere near on the scale to be building capitals, though that's where I want to get to.
