pi eve online

In EVE Online, PI stands for Planetary Interaction, a gameplay system that allows players to extract and process resources from planets for profit, manufacturing, or personal use. Here's a breakdown of how it works: Basics of Planetary Interaction (PI) Planets in EVE have different types (Barren, Lava, Ice, etc.), each offering unique raw materials. Players set up extraction and factory networks to harvest and refine these materials. The end products are used in industry, reactions, or sold on the market. Setting Up PI Command Center: The core structure placed on a planet (requires Planetary Interaction skill). Extractors: Harvest raw materials over time (e.g., Aqueous Liquids, Reactive Metals). Factories: Process raw materials into higher-tier goods (e.g., Coolant, Enriched Uranium). Storage: Holds extracted or processed materials. Launchpads/Storage Facilities: Used to export goods to your Customs Office. PI Tiers & Products P0 (Raw Materials): Extracted directly from the planet. P1 (Basic Processed): Made from P0 (e.g., Water Coolant). P2 (Advanced Processed): Made from P1 (e.g., Coolant + Electrolytes Oxides). P3/P4 (High-End): Used in manufacturing T2/T3 items (e.g., Nanites, Superconductors). Profitability & Strategy Low-Sec & Null-Sec planets yield more resources but are riskier. High-Sec PI is safer but less profitable (good for passive income). Optimal setups depend on skills, planet type, and market demand. Multi-planet setups (using multiple characters or alts) maximize profits. Skills Needed Planetary Interaction (reduces setup costs, increases efficiency). Advanced PI (unlocks more planets per character). Command Center Upgrades (allows more complex setups). Exporting & Using PI Materials are shipped via Customs Offices (player-owned or NPC). Used in manufacturing, fuel blocks for structures, or sold on the market. Automation & Passive Income PI requires regular maintenance (adjusting extractors every few days). A well-optimized setup can generate steady ISK with minimal effort. Would you like help with a specific PI setup or profit calculations? Let me know!
