Manufacturing or production refers to activities involving players creating items.

In Eve, players can manufacture many items for themselves. Manufacturing is the primary source all ships, tech 1 and tech 2 ship equipment, ammunition, boosters, and several other miscellaneous items. Many varieties of manufacturing can be done by any player, with no skill requirements, though some items require millions of skill points on the part of the manufacturer. All manufacturing requires, at a minimum, the following items:

• A blueprint for an item to be produced
• Minerals and/or components needed to produce the item
• A factory slot on a station or a POS

The blueprint may be a blueprint original or a blueprint copy, and the level of PE or ME research of the blueprint will govern how long the manufacturing process takes and how much it costs in materials. As well, many skills affect manufacturing - Mass Production and Advanced Mass Production give a player the ability to run additional manufacturing jobs, Production Efficiency reduces costs, Industry makes manufacturing take less time, and Supply Chain Management allows for remote operation of manufacturing jobs.

In order to start a job, all the necessary components must be present in the same station/POS, including enough materials for the desired number of runs, and in the case of a NPC factory, an isk payment must be made to rent the factory slot. After all runs are completed, the manufacturing job will be finished, and the manufactured goods will be available in the station.

It happens on occasion that two individuals select the same slot at the same time and start setting up their job. When this happens, the one who finishes the setup first will get the slot right away while the latter will have to wait until the other finishes his job. This is difficult to prevent but we don't recommend rushing through the job setup as if you make a mistake and then cancel your job, you will lose the entire bill of materials and whatever progress you had made in the production.

Note that it can take the server a while to process the requested job, so refreshing the job's status after a few minutes should display its correct status.

If cancelled, only the blueprint will be returned. The materials will be lost and the slot will be rented until the normal expiration date.
