Hi, I am trying to learn about researching BPOs. I'm playing with a Thunderbolt BPO for practice. What I would like to know is that when I do Material Research, how do I know how many "runs" I need to do to maximise the material efficiency? How do I calculate that figure.
The BPO I have has these stats.
Waste Factor 0.1
Material Level 0
Productivity Level 0
Nocxium..You 3 - Perfect 2
Pyerite..You 267 - Perfect 218
Tritanium..You 602 - Perfect 491
Thanks for any help on this!
Best Regards,
Aon |

Absolute maximum perfect ME = (Highest perfect-perfect material units) / 5 and round down. This means if you are reading BPO stat from MARKET, divide by 1.1 first, then divide by 5.
Tritanium - Perfect 491
491 / 1.1 = 446
446 / 5 = 89 --> 89 is the perfect ME.
Ignore "You" because that's your unskilled inefficiency and not related to BPO.
But perfect ME isn't always the best because research costs money and time.

While we're on the topic of researching, does anyone know the formula for finding perfect PRODUCTION efficiency? I've found tons of threads relating to ME, but virtually nothing about PE.

Base time wastage factor is 25%
Thus, 50 / 25 = 2 <== is the divisor you use, instead of 5 for ME.
If you want it down to the last second/minute/hour/day, round down accordingly.

At least when starting out, you'll rarely want to get to perfect ME. In the example you give, perfect ME is (as the previous poster said) somewhere between 80 and 90 (491/5, to approximate it), but I doubt you'd want to research past ME of 20 or 25. Further research is costly, and it will save you maybe 1 or 2 Tritanium per manufacture. For more precise stats, you can download utilities that calculate ME and marginal benefit of researching more. Zatch has one; maybe search on his name to find his posts.

For all that is holy.. don't research that to 89.. 
read this...
before you go to read it, start your bpo researching to 10.
fyi.. me of 0 = 10% waste.
me of 10 = 1% waste.
from 10 to 100 is a curve reducing waste from 1% to 0%.
you can do the calculations on your smaller bpo's if you want (some bpo's require no material research). but for starter stuff 10 is fine.
