Hi
I have 2 characters and I am looking to get involved in invention and manufacturing
can 1 inventor provide enough to keep 2 manufacturers going? or should it be 2 inventors and 1 manufacturer?
my plan is toon 1 - manufacturer and research/copy toon 2 - inventor
would I have any particular bottlenecks? or would I be drowning in BPCs?
thanks |

Inventing takes roughly half the time of producing nowdays, copying doesnt take much time after the initial copies. And since inventing has bit under 50% successrate (modules etc) you spend roughly same time on inventing as producing. So one char can invent roughly as much as he can produce if all other stuff is equal. |

I agree. Given the fact that ccp tied the times of copying and inventing to the actual manufacturing time of a blueprint, I'd say one inventor per T2 builder seems to be the new way to go. Of course it can't hurt to have a single alt just for all those T1 items required. Speeds up the whole process if you pile up the components, or outsource that to another alt as well (can be the one building the T1 stuff, the skills for the components don't take that long). I would skill Lab Operation/Adv. Lab Operation + Research on that character too, in order to make copies for invention.
tl;dr: Have either both of your characters do the invention and T2 manufacturing or use one for that and the other for copying/making the components you need. |

Most invention I've seen so far post patch has taken almost as long as the manufacturing so I'd suggest you find some stuff that you can make in half the time. |

Train up your skills............All my characters and alts can do 10 invention (research) jobs and 10 manufacturing jobs at once. |

The only thing that sucks is CCP didn't add the ability to create invention "batches" so unless you are able to log in every 1.5 hrs to queue up more invention jobs you're going to be short BPC when the builder get his stuff done.
I've recently got back into T2 stuff and I'm about to quit as it is wearing on my patience logging in every 1.5 hrs and everything that takes longer to invent doesn't have the volume to make it sustainable 24/7. |
