BPO Research Time Formula?

New Citizens Q&A
1

For example:

I’m using a research facility as:
Azbel (20% reduce research time),
with Standup L-Set ME Research Optimization I (20% reduce research time)
in a Hi-Sec place (index 1.x).

My character’s skills as following:

  • Metallurgy V (ME research time boost 25%)
  • Advanced Industry V (research time reduce 15%)
    with the implant “Zainou ‘Beancounter’ Metallurgy MY-705” (ME research time boost 5%)

Now I wanna do the ME Research for Armageddon Blueprint (Rank 60) from Lv.0 to Lv.10

What is the accurate formula for this project time?

I think this page tells you a research time formula - Research - EVE University Wiki

That’s quite specific.

I know about this,
but it only tells the basic,
didnt tell what I ask~
but thank you anyway.

thank you~

If you already have access to the facility, you can simulate it in-game. Find an ME0 Geddon BPO, view in industry, and select the facility.

Yes,
thats a way to test.
Thanks for the tips.

But at the moment,
I dont have the character nor the Azbel.
I cant see the ideal situation.
And I wanna start a business with BPO research,
Armageddon Blueprint Just a example.

And I guest the accurate formula wouldnt be just simply add up,
otherwise just 20%+20%+25%+15%+5%=85% reduce?
It seems unlikely.

And I browse everywhere,
still cant find the formula.

I think that the time reductions multiply together, rather than add. Otherwise nullsec sotiyos would finish the research before it started.

10

Yes,
that’s absolute right,
But multiply how,
that’s unknow to me.

11

So I have a ME9 Revelation BPO in a nullsec t1 rigged Sotiyo. I also have metallurgy 5, advanced industry 5, and a 5% research implant.

The Uniwiki page linked in your other thread says that base time for ME10 would be 256,000 seconds, and a dread BPO is rank 200, so base time should be about 592 days. If I multiply all the bonuses together, I calculate a time of ~145 days, but the game tells me that it takes ~112 days to actually do it. For reference, the nullsec bonus for a t1 rig is -42% time and the role bonus is -30%.

this should work

edit: EVE Industry - Blueprint Calculator has the implant available

Merged you both identical Topics. Please avoid Double-postings in the future.

thanks

but

this site’s “Facility” option doesnt work with research time,
the “Time Calculations” just shows the base research time affect by skill,
and the “Facility” option only for the Manufacturing.

and
https://eve-industry.org/calc/
also just about Manufacturing.

each bonus is applied to the job time multiplicatively, rounded down each (? not sure) .

bpo me base time = 256 000 (lvl10)×60 (rank ) = 15 360 000 s
time ×= (100-15)/100 <= advanced industry
time×= (100-25)/100 <= metallurgy
time ×= (100-20)/100 <= azbel
time ×= (100-20)/100 <= rig
=> total 6 266 880 s = 72d12h48min
since it’s over 30D you can’t do it at once.
I forgot to add the implant, it’s the same.

He could have found out by simply simulating the BPC in the industry window and select a public Azbel with rigs.

maybe he wanted the exact formula, not the result.

thanks a lot!

now I understand
the formula is
( 1 - Engineering complexes Role bonuses ) x ( 1 - Rig bonuses x Location coefficient) x ( 1 - Skill bonus ) x ( 1 - implant bonus ) x BPO research basic time x BPO rank
thanks again!
