MONW — Multi-character EVE industry platform

Hi folks,

I’m the dev behind MONW (monw.dk) — “Make Ore, Not War.” It’s a web-based industry platform that pulls your characters’ data from ESI and turns it into manufacturing plans, market intelligence, and wealth tracking. Free, no install, EVE SSO login.

I’ve been building it as a personal tool that got out of hand, and it’s now being used by 100+ pilots across 400+ characters. Posting here because I’d genuinely like feedback from other capsuleers on what’s working, what’s missing, and what’s broken.

What it does

The short version: it knows your actual skills, blueprints, and assets — so manufacturing calculations use your real numbers instead of generic assumptions.

Manufacturing

  • Recursive BOM with “have” subtraction at every depth — if you already own intermediates, the shopping list accounts for it

  • Post-Viridian cost formula (EIV × SCI × structure/rig + facility tax + SCC surcharge)

  • Facility profiles with structure type, M/L/XL rigs, and security zone scaling

  • Per-character job duration based on Industry / Advanced Industry skill

  • Fitting planner — paste an EFT fit, get a full BOM for the whole fit

  • Job splitting, build vs buy toggle, shopping list export in EVE multi-buy format

Industry corp tools (the part I’m most interested in feedback on)

If you run or help run an industry corp, this is built for you:

  • Shared manufacturing plans with role-based access — directors can delegate Industry Manager / Finance / Full Access without handing out director roles

  • Assign plan nodes to specific characters — split a Hulk build across your team, and the planner tells you which members actually have the skills to run each job (and how long it’ll take them based on their skill levels)

  • Corp-wide asset and blueprint awareness — build from corp-owned BPOs with corp hangar inventory subtracted from the shopping list

  • Corp asset valuation — daily snapshots of total corp wealth across hangars, wallet divisions, and market orders, so you can actually see whether the corp is growing

  • Manufacturing slot aggregation across directors and members, with per-character eligibility

  • Corp industry jobs, wallet divisions, structures — everything ESI exposes, in one place

Basically: stop running industry corps out of a Google Sheet and a pinned Discord message.

Market & trading

  • Live Jita + Amarr pricing with margin and trend overlays

  • Custom structure market tracking — add your own or allied player-owned structures and use their prices for cost evaluation and profit calculation, not just NPC hub prices

  • Cherry Picker margin scanner across hubs with trend-based scoring

  • Appraisal tool (Janice-powered) with shareable links

  • Market order tracking with undercut detection across all characters

Assets & wealth

  • Unified asset tree across all characters with location filtering

  • Daily net worth snapshots — wallet, assets, orders, contracts — charted over time

  • Inventory/Stockpile with target vs actual tracking

Discord integration

  • Link your MONW account to Discord and ask IRIS (the in-app AI assistant) from any server or DM: “what’s the status of my jobs?”, “what do I still need for 10 Ishtars?”, “what’s my net worth this week?”

  • Slash commands for price lookups, margin calculations, and blueprint searches

  • Push notifications for industry job completion, daily income summaries, and sync failures

  • Feedback and feature requests go through the MONW Discord (link in the app header), or use the “Submit an idea” option in the app sidebar if you prefer — whatever works

    Other

  • Skill planner with fit skill gap analysis

  • Mining ledger, PI colonies with chain visualization, PI templates

  • Optional AI assistant (IRIS) grounded in your live character data, available both in-app and via Discord

There’s also a ratting/PvE income tracker and a PvP analytics portal, both currently in beta — I built them to see if there’s demand outside industry. Feedback on whether those are worth developing further is very welcome.

Tech notes for the devs in the room

  • Automated ESI sync every 60 min via background workers

  • OAuth2 only, no credentials stored

  • Uses the SDE for BOM resolution, live ESI for prices/assets/skills/blueprints/jobs

  • Responsive web, works on phone for checking orders/plans on the go

What I’m looking for

  • Bug reports, especially around cost formula edge cases (T3, reactions, capital chains)

  • Feature requests — what do you wish existed that doesn’t? Drop them here or in the MONW Discord (link in the app)

  • Industry corp directors: what does your current workflow look like, and where does it hurt? The corp tooling is the area I want to push hardest next

  • Feedback on the PvE/PvP portals specifically — keep developing, or focus on industry?

Happy to answer anything here or in Discord. Thanks for the time, and fly safe. o7
