EVE Miner Hub — Major Update, August 25, 2026
Hello pilots!
A major EVE Miner Hub update is now live. This release takes EMH beyond mining statistics: it introduces a full manufacturing planner, NPC station and Upwell market comparison, trade-route calculations, and a much more flexible OBS overlay.
The main idea behind the update is to connect the complete workflow of an industrial pilot:
mining → reprocessing → materials → manufacturing → sale.
You can now see not only how much your fleet mined, but also what those resources could become, how much the complete production chain would cost, and how much additional value manufacturing may create compared with selling the resulting materials.
Important: existing characters must be reauthorized
The new market tools need additional read-only ESI permissions for structure information, structure markets, and wallet transactions. Existing refresh tokens do not receive new permissions automatically.
You do not need to delete a character, and your existing mining history will not be lost.
- Open Industrial Material Price Analysis in the dashboard.
- Go to Stations and Trade Routes.
- Click Enable Markets and Auto-Discovery.
- Complete the normal authorization flow through the official EVE SSO page.
Reauthorize the characters whose access should be used for your Upwell structures and private markets. If one character can access everything you need, reauthorizing that character is enough to get started. If docking and market access are split across multiple characters, reauthorize each relevant character.
These scopes are read-only. EMH never receives your EVE password and cannot move assets, place or cancel orders, or perform actions on behalf of your character.
New Manufacturing module
The dashboard now has a dedicated Manufacturing tab. It uses an up-to-date local catalogue of published EVE manufacturing blueprints and lets you search by either blueprint name or manufactured product.
Once a blueprint and the number of runs are selected, EMH builds:
- the direct material list for the root job;
- the recursive chain of manufacturable components;
- the combined raw-material requirement;
- the list and cost of required purchases;
- installation cost and job duration;
- profit, ROI, and break-even results.
Build / Buy / Stock for every material
Each material or component can be assigned an explicit source:
- Use Stock — use the available quantity;
- Build — expand the child blueprint and add its manufacturing job to the calculation;
- Buy in Jita — skip stock allocation for that item and buy the required amount at Jita Sell.
Manual stock can be entered separately. An explicit choice is authoritative: if you select Buy or Build, the planner will not silently consume the same component from stock first.
This makes practical Build/Buy analysis straightforward. You can calculate a ship hull with a fully expanded component chain, switch one expensive or inconvenient component to Jita purchase, and immediately see the change in cash cost, production time, and profit.
ME, TE, structures, rigs, and skills
The planner separates root-blueprint and component settings:
- root blueprint ME;
- component ME;
- root blueprint TE;
- component TE.
Quick presets are available for:
- researched T1: ME 10 / TE 20;
- invented T2: ME 2 / TE 4;
- new BPO or special BPC: ME 0 / TE 0.
Advanced settings include:
- an NPC station with no structure bonuses;
- Raitaru;
- Azbel;
- Sotiyo;
- high-sec, low-sec, or null-sec/wormhole security band;
- separate T1/T2 material and time rigs;
- BX-801, BX-802, or BX-804 time implant;
- Industry and Advanced Industry levels;
- Alpha or Omega clone status.
Structure bonuses, rigs, skills, and implants are applied to their proper parts of the formula. A rig does not replace the facility owner tax, and a time skill or implant is not treated as a material discount.
The selected rig is assumed to match every job being calculated. If a real production chain uses different specialized rigs or multiple facilities, it should be calculated in separate stages.
Manufacturing system and job installation cost
You can select a manufacturing system through autocomplete. EMH then loads the current public Manufacturing Cost Index from ESI and resolves the system security band on the server.
Every job that is actually built includes:
- the system-index portion of EIV, including the selected structure cost bonus;
- facility tax;
- the fixed 4% EIV SCC surcharge;
- the additional 0.25% EIV Alpha surcharge when applicable;
- the 5% EIV Exordium regional surcharge when applicable.
The following market expenses are configured separately:
- sales tax;
- broker fee;
- other expenses, which can be used for logistics and your own overhead.
A fixed blueprint or copy cost can be assigned to the selected series. This can represent a contract BPC, invention/copying cost, or an allocated share of a permanent BPO. It applies to the entire series and is included in cash and economic results, ROI, and break-even price.
Three ways to read profitability
The planner provides several scenarios so owned materials do not automatically become “free” in every report.
- Cash Profit represents the new cash flow. Materials already in stock do not require a new purchase and are therefore free from a cash-outlay perspective.
- Economic Profit — Jita Sell values the finished product and consumed owned stock at Jita Sell. Sales tax, broker fee, other expenses, job installation, and blueprint cost are deducted.
- Economic Profit — Jita Buy models an immediate sale of the finished output to Jita Buy. There is no broker fee in this scenario, while sales tax and other expenses still apply.
The result also includes:
- total series cost;
- cash outlay;
- market value of consumed stock;
- a full installation-cost breakdown;
- unit cost;
- ROI;
- break-even price;
- root-job duration;
- sequential duration of the complete job chain.
If a material has no actual Jita Sell order, EMH may use a positive ESI global average and clearly labels it as an estimate. If neither an order nor an average exists, the planner does not display a misleading complete profit result. Jita Buy is never replaced with a global average.
Manufacturing is directly connected to your mining statistics
This is the key part of the release.
Select a mining period:
- today;
- week;
- month;
- all time.
EMH reads the actual mining ledger collected for your connected characters and virtually reprocesses that ore using the Tatara + T2 rig scenario at 90.63% yield. The resulting materials become a potential manufacturing stockpile.
There are two ways to use it.
1. Use mined materials in a selected blueprint calculation
Enable Use Mining Estimate as Material Stock. The planner allocates potential mined materials across the selected production chain and shows what is covered, what remains, and what must be bought or built.
Manual stock is added on top of mining-derived stock, keeping the two sources separate.
2. Find the best products for your mining output
Click Find Best Options. EMH scans published, market-relevant manufacturing blueprints and finds products whose complete raw-material chain can be covered by the potential stock from the selected mining period.
Every result includes:
- the product and producible quantity;
- economic profit;
- margin;
- installation cost;
- the bottleneck material;
- a cap based on current Jita liquidity.
Mined materials are not treated as free. EMH values the Tatara-refined stock at its market opportunity value, then subtracts that value and the manufacturing costs from expected output revenue. The resulting economic profit therefore shows the additional value manufacturing may create compared with selling those reprocessed materials.
This is what makes the new module a direct extension of EMH mining statistics. A miner can open a month of real fleet activity and see, in numbers, what can be produced from what was actually mined and whether manufacturing has the potential to outperform simple material liquidation.
Two limitations are important:
- mining-derived stock is calculated from the mining ledger, not from live ESI Assets. Ore that has already been sold, moved, or consumed is not deducted automatically;
- every recommendation independently assigns the available stock to one product. The list is not a jointly optimized multi-product portfolio.
The unknown cost of a contract blueprint is not included during the recommendation scan. After choosing a result, enter that cost in the main planner.
Stations, markets, and trade routes
A new Stations and Trade Routes section is available below the price-analysis chart.
Each account can save up to 30 locations:
- NPC stations;
- public Upwell markets;
- private Upwell structures available to an authorized character.
Select a solar system first, then choose a station or structure in that system. EMH combines its NPC catalogue, public market structures, and private structures discovered from wallet transactions of reauthorized characters. If a private structure cannot be discovered automatically, an EVE showinfo link or structure ID can be submitted as a safe fallback. The reference is sent in a POST body rather than exposed in the URL.
NPC stations use the public regional order book. For a player structure, EMH attempts to load its exact authenticated order book. If an exact private market is unavailable, the UI displays an authorization or ACL state instead of presenting a false empty market.
Market comparison
For the material currently selected on the price chart, the comparison displays:
- Jita max Buy;
- Jita min Sell;
- Jita mid-price;
- station or structure Buy, Sell, and mid-price;
- the difference from Jita;
- available order volume;
- the order source: NPC region, public region, or exact structure market.
EMH continues to use the following Jita 4-4 mid-price rule for its base material valuation:
(maximum Buy + minimum Sell) / 2
If only one side exists, that side is used. If there are no Jita orders, an ESI global-average fallback may be used where appropriate.
Jump Freighter route calculation
The route model works in one direction:
buy from Jita Sell → haul → sell immediately to Buy orders at the selected destination.
EMH walks through real order depth instead of multiplying a single attractive price by an arbitrary quantity. The trade volume is constrained by:
- available Jita Sell orders;
- destination Buy orders;
- the entered Jump Freighter capacity;
- volume per unit.
After setting a percentage for taxes and expenses, the result shows purchase cost, revenue, gross and net profit, margin, and the limiting side of the route.
Practical use cases include:
- checking whether a mineral or PI shortage in your null-sec home market can be supplied profitably from Jita;
- comparing several corporation/alliance structures and NPC hubs;
- finding out whether an entire JF load is profitable or whether the attractive price exists only for a small Buy order;
- selecting a material on the chart, reviewing its current price trend, and immediately testing the spread at saved markets;
- adding logistics and risk to the expense percentage to filter out routes that only look good on paper.
The route calculator does not currently build a cyno chain or separately calculate fuel, collateral, route risk, pilot time, or price movement while hauling. Those factors should be included in the user-entered expense percentage. EMH also does not automatically scan every item across every station pair; a route is calculated for the material selected on the chart.
OBS overlay update
The main OBS value is now the compressed mining value. The raw ore value remains visible as a smaller secondary line, so both valuations are available on stream.
Six built-in themes are included:
- Standard;
- High-sec Ore;
- Low-sec Ore;
- Null-sec Ore;
- Ice Mining;
- Gas Mining.
Custom themes can be created with controls for:
- width;
- padding and corner radius;
- background color and opacity;
- border color, width, and opacity;
- primary, secondary, and accent colors;
- font sizes;
- font family.
The normal OBS URL uses the account’s active theme. Each theme also has its own fixed URL, which continues to use that theme even after the account’s active theme is changed.
The widget-token format and public mining API remain unchanged. Existing working OBS and API URLs do not need to be rotated because of this release.
Additional changes
- Dashboard tabs now follow the workflow: Mining → Planetary → Manufacturing → Prices.
- All new tools are available in Russian and English.
- Blueprint, system, and station search support keyboard navigation and stale-response protection during fast input.
- Large Upwell order books are fetched in parallel, cached per authorized character, and protected against duplicate concurrent downloads.
- Private structure data from one account or character is never reused as access proof for another.
- State-changing actions continue to require POST and CSRF protection.
EVE Miner Hub remains free to use.
Open the dashboard, reauthorize your EVE characters, and try the new Manufacturing tab with your own mining history:
I would love to see real examples and feedback: which chains did you calculate, where did Build/Buy make the difference, and how much did manufacturing change the economics of your mining output?
