Just curious, but what is the percentage drop in mineral wastage in a BP per level of mineral efficiency on it? -------------------------------- CCP can patch away bugs, but they can't patch away stupidity. |

Amount of waste, given mineral efficiency X, is
1/ (X+1)*10
In other words... mineral efficiency 0: wastage is 1/10 of base mineral needs min.eff. 1, it's 1/20 2, it's 1/30 etc. etc.
This means, in turn, that researching from min.eff.0 to min.eff.1 cuts waste in half; researching from ME1 to ME2 cuts out 1/3 of the remaining waste; ME 2 to ME3 cuts out 1/4 of the remaining waste; and so on. The more you research it, the less effect any further research will have.

Indeed. Some modules are 0.1 original waste factor, and some others are 0.05.
However, these all apply to the absolute perfect mineral requirements, where you have zero waste at all.
These are pretty easy to work out.
Subtract the Waste Mineral amount from the Required mineral ammount. That will give you the waste free minimum mineral.
Then use that forumla:
Original Waste Factor / (1 + Mineral Level)
If you then take this value, and multiply it by that waste free minimum mineral, you will find it is exactly the current mineral waste.
Another trick for you. If the waste is 0.1, then to get a waste free version of the blueprint, you need to research it the number of times being the highest waste value originally displayed.
For example:
Required Tritanium: 1100 Waste Tritanium: 100
If this 100 was the highest waste value displayed on the blueprint, researching the blueprint 100 times for Mineral Efficiency would result in 0.9xxxx waste tritanium. Or as this is rounded down during the build process, perfection :)

Ruffles, just checked out what you said about researching the BP to the mineral level equal to whatever the highest number of units wasted is on the BP at ME0. I had my spreadsheet with the formula for figuring wastage and punched in the numbers.....damn you were right

Great..
Can someone explain this to the mathematically challenged of us?
