Eve Online - Planetary Industry - Basics & Setup Guide

Very late to the party, but just wanted to say thank you for this guide. A totally new player. You made it all very understandable and helped me set up my first planetary rig. Many thanks!

A very useful guide, thank you. I've just returned to Eve after 2 years and PI operations seem to be the one thing that's evaporated from my brain. This helps enormously.

Notes on extracting: - When setting up factories, you can double-click on the schematic & double- click on the destination, then hit submit. It's less mouse movement. - Commmand Centers can be anywhere on the planet, you don't touch them after you upgrade them. I was putting mine at the pole for awhile. - As concenctraion hotspots (white areas) move, you can just move your extractor control units & heads, the whole colony doesn't have to move. I only move colonies when a hotspot is too far away to link. - I string out my factories in the direction of where I think the next hotspot will be. They're still almost touching, just in a long line. That way, it's shorter to link the control unit when it moves to the next hotspot. - Careful with my last point. Storages & Launchpads can only link 5 or 6 factories out. I end up with 1 or 2 factories around the Storage unit instead of at the end. My colonies looks like a mace or an axe.

Hello, excellent video as usual. TY. Addition, you don’t need to be undocked to manage your Customs Office when in system. In a Player Owned Structure, you can be in « outside view » instead of being in the hangar. This allows you to play with your customs office as if you were undocked.

I've been playing EVE on a regular/daily basis since 2006 [ 2003 veteran starter], and in all this time I've never delved into the P.I. or Moon Mining, however, after being absent for 5 years due to health issues, I'm now back and getting my bearings. I realize that literally hundreds of friends/associates/Industry contacts are no longer among the current players so I have to learn this and produce it for myself since the current market values on such products is untenable to my Citadel/Structure/Tech II & III Manufacturing. Especially on the Tech II Sub-Caps and Capitals. This video is EXACTLY what I was looking for in order to place my compass in the right direction.... Thank You for this! I'll be checking on some of your other current EVE "how-to" videos as well! Totally liked and subbed! 😃👍

I have been doing this so wrong, for so long, its embarrassing to say just how wrong I have been doing it lol! Was a major aha moment watching this. Thanks man!

Man thanks for the run down. Came here clueless left here with 6 toons running basic PI. Great video; subbed liked sharing with the boys o7

Never tried PI before, so this step by step guide was extremely helpful. Thanks!

Thank you for this intro, it has helped me set up my first planets. So far, just set up one planet extracting aqueous water and having factories make water. With your video, it was a breeze and much easier. Much appreciated, o7

Massive thanks for your video. No way i would have figured all this out on my own. I found some other videos but you actually take the time to explain stuff instead of rushing things. I like how i am now earning some passive income in Eve while doing other stuff. Keep it up!

You can use the command center for storage, doing so may eliminate a need for the storage facility. Also, don't even bother with PI unless you have the command center upgrades to 4 minimum. It doesn't take long to train to 4 and you might as well start the setup with a decent powergrid/cpu.

Wonderful video. I feel a lot more confident about trying to set this up. Thanks so much!

Been out of PI for a couple years, but after a couple hours... I get it!! TY

thanks for explaining all of this. seemed so hard to setup before

Great video. Just started trying PI the other day and now realise I have done it absolutely terribly. Will start again with it tomorrow after watching your video. 😁

I'm not too into PVP, but coming from Fred's video this sounds like a fun time. I love industry.

Really good stuff. Thanks for being clear on instructions :-) It was my first successful PI build. Ballbuster

Wow. Got it working. Thanks.

Just got into this today, surprisingly a fun activity to setup and do, hoping to get all the skills maxed eventually so my setups can be better. I don't have multiple characters so I'm hoping I can figure out someway to produce P4 materials, but for a while I might just stick to P2/P3 if I can figure it out! Very cool!

Thank you! Fabulous, truly.
