Manufacturing turns materials into items using blueprints.

  • A blueprint original (BPO) can be used forever; a blueprint copy (BPC) has a limited number of runs.
  • Start with cheap, high-demand items such as ammunition or T1 frigates.
  • Use the Industry window to install jobs. Check the material cost against the sell price before you build.
