As a capital builder, currently my productions are at a crawl, but not a stop. The real struggle has been getting into the new rhythm of material gathering and procurement. I also figured out that unless you have a dedicated wormhole corp, its not economical to do the reactions for the new Metallofullerenes so that became a mandatory import, though they’re fairly cheap as far as inputs are concerned. The real kicker is the Capital Core Temp Regulator. Right now it costs… 5-7b to build one if you buy the smaller Core Temp Regulators and PI bits from market to build, and I don’t expect that material cost to drop below 2-ish bil ever because of how long it takes to get everything together+mat values. _THIS IS NOT A SMALL PRODUCER KILLER_, but it certainly makes our lives and gameplay much more difficult, and as is the norm with many changes, disproportionately affects and disincentivizes smaller producers from trying to continue. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/q-capital-building-in-the-new-industry-era/312595)._
