Industry? You Carebear!

While the Incarna/NeX/MT event rages, I've been occupied with a new ISK generator for me, which involves moon goo production. One of the reasons I haven't departed from the game, stage left, is that I accepted a large sum of ISK from investors for this project.

It's been wildly successful. So much that I now have FIFTEEN pos towers doing production for me. Managing the fueling and reactions has become a major time sink and tracking headache. I have my own custom spreadsheet apps for this, but they are not 100% to what I want.

So I say to the industrialists among you: Is there a good API-driven tool for collecting POS tower information? What good reaction tools exist? What other tricks and tips do you have?

A lead that makes my life significantly easier (my call on that) will get some sort of reward from me. And since Paul gave me all his stuff, I can promise it will be a nice reward. :D

    Give EveHQ a try.

      I regularly use EveHQ, but I don't like the POS monitor very much; it feels buggy.

    i use the former, but both should work. :)

    Pos-Tracker ftw.

    http://eve-search.com/thread/1352458 is what I use. It's a heavily modified and improved version of the original POS Tracker software (that never worked right and now it does and I can't live without it).

    http://iceneko.com/eve/index.html is his website.

    So, while you're ragequitting to other MMOs, you're setting up and caring for a production line? And asking for advice on its long-term maintenance?

    Way to make a point!

      Paul is the one that ragequit. L2read.

        Way to support paul's point! o/

          I never said that YOU should quit the game over Pay2Win, only that I would.

      In case you didn't notice, multiple people post with this blog. Paul, Khalia (who is the poster of this particular... post.), and Captain Charismatic.

        We should probally make it more obvious who is posting.

    whoops =)

    Khalia, you want POS-Tracker, the PHP app. Multiply-linked silos can be buggy sometimes, you might have to dig around for a patch for that, but otherwise, it's great and tracking fuel AND reactions, and will also handle OOG notifications via email.

    • Khalia Nestune

      Hey Zav, thanks for the tip. I have it up and running and so far I'm liking it.

      The 'Import Structures' isn't working. Do I have to manually add all my structures in?
