eve online pi

In EVE Online, Planetary Interaction (PI) is a passive industry activity where players extract and process raw materials from planets to create more valuable goods. These products are used in manufacturing, reactions, and other industry activities. How PI Works Setup Colonies - You can have up to 6 colonies per character (more with skills). - Each colony is on a different planet (must be in low/null sec or wormholes for better yields). - Planets have different resource types (e.g., Lava Planets for Reactive Metals, Ice Planets for Coolant). Extractors & Factories - Extractor Heads pull raw materials (e.g., Aqueous Liquids, Noble Metals). - Basic & Advanced Factories refine materials into higher-tier products (e.g., P1 P2 P3 P4). Supply Chains - You can create a self-sufficient setup where raw materials are processed into higher-tier goods. - Example: - P0 (Raw) P1 (Processed) P2 (Advanced) P3 (Specialized) P4 (High-End). Export & Profit - Finished goods can be sold on the market or used in manufacturing. - High-tier PI (P3/P4) is used in T2 production, capital ships, and structures. Best PI Planets Barren, Lava, Plasma Good for Reactive Metals, Toxic Metals, Precious Metals. Ice, Gas Good for Coolant, Oxidizing Compound. Oceanic, Storm Good for Aqueous Liquids, Electrolytes. Skills for PI Planetary Interaction (PI) (Reduces setup time, increases colony limit). Command Center Upgrades (Allows more colonies). Advanced Planetology (Better resource scanning). Interplanetary Consolidation (More extractor heads). Tips for Profit Low/Null Sec & Wormholes Higher yields than high-sec. Automate with Routines Set up 1-3 day cycles for passive income. Focus on P2/P3 More demand than P1, less effort than P4. Use Alts More characters = more colonies = more profit. Example PI Setup (P2 Production) Extract P0 (e.g., Aqueous Liquids). Process into P1 (e.g., Water). Combine P1s into P2 (e.g., Coolant). Export to market or use in T2 production. Profitability High-Sec PI: 10-50M ISK/day (low effort, low reward). Low/Null Sec PI: 50-200M ISK/day (higher risk, better rewards). Wormhole PI: Best yields but requires logistics. Would you like a specific PI setup guide for a certain planet type?
