Starting production and a few mistakes

 So, I created a project to build 10 sabres in EVEGuru, which then allowed me to take the shopping list provided as a multibuy order. I manually removed the blueprints from the multibuy as I'd bought them all already.  Foreshadowing is a narrative device where authors drop subtle hints, warnings, or clues early in a story to suggest future plot developments, creating suspense and preparing the audience for upcoming events. Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story.

After a couple of days my contract had been delivered, 1.5Bn collateral moved for 60mil. Not too bad. I set a bunch of blueprints researching as I'd bought duplicates so I can research some while using the rest to build. I then consulted the production ledger where I saw that step 1 was to do some reactions. It was here I encountered my first mistake.

In Auner EVEGuru provides 2 facilities, one for research and manufacturing and another for reactions:


I had everything delivered to the Guru Forge, but I needed to move the moon goo to the Guru Foundry. However, I only brought an Ibis with me.

Ah.

That would take a few hundred trips back and forth to move the mats. Not ideal. However, Auner is just 3 jumps from Hek, so I bought a Badger, and flew it back in, then moved the mats. Problem solved. Ok so reactions rely on earlier reactions, where did I put those formulae...?

Oh, I forgot to buy the three basic reaction formulae needed. Bugger. Fortunately they had some at NPC orders in Bei, 5 jumps away. So a quick 10 jumps there and back. OK, so these reactions need fuel blocks, 3 different types. Where is the third one?

Dammit! So, I needed to buy Hydrogen fuel block blueprints. Fortunately there's an NPC seller in system, so that was easily solved. Right, ready to go now? Well...

For the fuel blocks yes, but then I went to build my R.A.M. Starship Tech...


Turns out when creating the project in EVEGuru I'd set the ME/TE of desired blueprints to 10/10, when that's not what I have in reality, leaving me slightly short on materials...So I need to wait for this stage. 

Oh, what's that, it'll take another 12 days to finish??? Well, sod that. Fortunately there's someone selling noxcium in station. So I bought 12 and that's me off to the races, on those steps anyway. 

This is much more complex than rigs!!
