I don't know what you're building but my production lines are turning a daily profit of over 10 million per slot. Just added a 5th production char and am thinking about expanding even more.

Your margins are shrinking because the market is adjusting. It takes time.

my margins are so obscenely high i can't even calculate them

i mine my own minerals, my margin is always 100%

Yes ladies and gents anyone who follows recent trend would notice the amount of threads about dying margins, this has been in motion ever since crius hit.Ccp refuses to acknowledge this despite the large count of times this has been brought to them at current rate they stand to lose more subs because its inevitable when someone has no profit doing what he has done for ages he is most likely to quit than find another item to build, bu wait there's more!Some might say well yer lazy yada there's still a lot items you can build for profit and i say to you for how long?Eventually we will be left with few profitable items and its going to be like jita 0.001 isk fights all day long over those few good items.For casual players that's a game killer.

So there's only one solution me and few mates have already been doing this(one my friends has 35 accounts ) we decided to show CCP what they refuse to see the margins on 90% of the ingame items will die until 2015 is over.What we do is pick an X item and we burn its margin and after that make just enough to keep the margin from ever raising back again.So join me in our quest to open CCPs eyes that they need to UP the production times again to their old values else this game goes in the trash bin.

Bring up MARGINGEDON!
DEATH TO ALL MARGINS!!!

If you believe all the hype from "the usual crowd", half of the highsec industry community quit the game when Crius came out, so the margins should be increasing!

Realistically the margins are just moving about a bit while people swap and change what they are building trying to find a new comfort zone. T2s are going to be a bit funny until people run out of the buffed BPCs that got put out with the expansion.

I hear ya mate, however you just nailed it "until people run out of the buffed BPCs", that's one of the issues, I alone have around 35000 bpcs, and one of my friends has about 98000...yea they are going to run out of bpcs when they are old enough not to be able to lift.

Lol like i said im not producing at loss, but I see more and more things that goes absurdly low since crius I will give you just one example that I used to build long time ago Adaptive invul t2s pre-crius these things were in the 2.2m range and were super profitable to build right now no matter how tight you squeeze that index you're going to be building them at loss unless you're t2 bpo owner i suppose.I will find those items you still build at profit and i will crush their margins.

Perhaps you should give the market more time to adjust. Let me give you an example...

I make T2 damage controls. Prepatch, it took 1.25 hours to invent in a POS, 18+ hours to make. Based on my sleep pattern, thst 18 hours meant it was actually a day. So basically, each day I could make 100 DC 2s, limited more by invention.

Now invention was always the bottle neck time wise. So to save my sanity and avoid trips to trade hubs, I would invent in large batches. once I had enough BPCs ready, i would make them. I had a stockpike right before patch. I knew material change were coming, so the wait was planned. The patch hit... Now, instead of 100 mods a day, it takes 4 hours to make 100 mods, and well... Work and sleep hinder Eve life, but still... I can make 300 mods a day now. What would have taken me 12 days is now 4 days.

Guess what, I, like many proceed to mass produce, thinking more mods equals more money. Well... The demand didn't change, but supply sure did. I, and many others, rapidly flood the market (especially since a lot if us held off, drying up the supply, this was why t2 280mm Howie prices rose a ton prepatch). Our flood lowers the market as we compete to sell and get some if thst higher profit. However supply is huge and the market drops.

Also, my bpcs went from -4 ME to much better, meaning more profit per unit if sold at old prices or i can take less profit per and still be good. So more reason for prices to drop.

But wait... Invention times changed. What use to be once every 1.25 hours in a pos is now 4 in a station. This slows me down actually. I could get 4+ invention cycles in a day. Now I get 3 or less. So, once I burn through my existing stock, I (like many others) will actually produce at a slower rate. Prices will bounce back as the demand matches the lower supply. Also, the New bpcs have a lower ME, meaning they cost more.

So basically, you are reacting too soon. We are still in the correction phases. Give it a few months, then see what's happening.
My guess, things will balance out and the profits will be about the same.
