The most common setup used by | The most common setup used by players to generate passive PI income with minimal effort will be the production of P2 commodities on a single planet, with Command Centers IV trained. At maximum efficiency, each planet will be able to produce 240x P2 commodities in a 24hr period. | ||
* Use the scanner to highlight the two highest density areas of resources on the planet. Use the scan slider until you only have one white spot left. This will be the highest density resource spot. | * Use the scanner to highlight the two highest density areas of resources on the planet. Use the scan slider until you only have one white spot left.

* Drop the Command Center somewhere | * Drop the Command Center (CC) somewhere close to where you want to build your set-up. While it doesn't matter where you place the CC, whenever you (accidentally) double click somewhere else than your structures, your camera will centre on the Command Center. When you are ready to start putting down your PI set-up, place the CC and hit submit. | ||

* Open up the Extractor Control Unit. What we need to achieve here is a {{co|coral|program output higher than 12,000 Units per hour to achieve maximum efficiency}}. You longer that you set the Extraction Area Size (This is the amount of time that the planet will run for) the less the per hour output will be. The more Extractor Head Units that you use, the higher the per hour output will be. Do this for both Extractor Control Units, making sure you are extracting the required P0 resource. Play around here, see what works, but generally 4 Extractor Heads and a 1 day Extraction Area Size should be more than enough to achieve maximum efficiency in Null-Sec. Always try to aim for as much as you can per hour though, as this will leave a surplus supply of P0 resources in your Storage Facilities that will allow the planet to continue to produce P2 if you are a couple of hours late to reset it, or just forget entirely. | * Open up the Extractor Control Unit.

* Now | * Now comes the slightly more complex part of the build. We need to create routes to ensure that our products flow correctly between the various Industry Facilities and up as P2 commodities into our Launchpad. Unfortunately, this cannot be shown easily with images. | ||
