IRON WHALES
EVE Market Tools
Pick what you want to produce and Iron Whales prices the entire input chain live, then compares it to the output's market value so you can see your real profit before you commit extractors and factories to it.
Open the PI PlannerPlanetary Interaction profit depends on more than just the final product's sell price — every P1, P2, P3 or P4 input in the production chain has its own market cost. The PI Planner walks the full schematic for whatever commodity you choose, prices every required input at your chosen trade hub, and totals it against your production cycle count.
Set how many production cycles you're planning (a full day's worth of extractor and factory runs, for example) and Iron Whales shows the total input cost next to the output's market value at the same hub - so the profit margin is a direct comparison, not something you have to work out by hand across multiple market windows.
Whether you're weighing a simple P1-to-P2 setup on a single planet or a full P4 chain across several colonies, pricing the inputs live rather than from memory is the difference between an estimate and an actual profit number - especially since raw material and P1 prices can move meaningfully between sessions.
