Visualize the full manufacturing hierarchy for any EVE item. Calculate the Idiot Index, compare build vs buy costs, and find the optimal strategy.
Expand any item's full manufacturing hierarchy across up to 4 depth levels — from finished ship to raw ore.
Know instantly whether it's cheaper to build or buy. Index < 1.0 means profitable manufacturing.
All costs calculated from live EVE market data via the ESI API for your selected hub region.
Apply Raitaru, Azbel, or Sotiyo ME bonuses to see real-world manufacturing costs for your setup.
Type any EVE item name — ships, modules, ammo, components. The autocomplete searches 50,000+ types instantly.
Set your structure, ME/TE levels, manufacturing depth, and market region to match your actual setup.
Expand any node to drill down into its components. Green Idiot Index means profitable to manufacture.
Inspired by the manufacturing efficiency metric used to build Tesla and SpaceX.
Manufacturing costs less than buying from market. You're adding value.
No difference. Factor in time, skills, and opportunity cost.
You'd spend more to manufacture than the market charges. Just buy.
Live market data. Full blueprint trees. Idiot Index on every node.
