 This is a guide to set up colonies for [[Planetary Industry]].
-There are eight types of planets in EVE: Barren, Gas, Ice, Lava, Oceanic, Plasma, Storm and Temperate. To start doing industry on a planet, you need to have a Planetary Command Center matching that planet's type. These are sold by NPCs all across New-Eden. Eve-University home systems should have them avaible in the general hangars. If you are in E-Uni and have not have access yet, feel free to ask someone who has to help you out.

 {{Box|tldr: Boxes like this will give sweet click-by-click instructions to build a simple starter-colony. No vegetables included.}}
+This instruction will not cover the process of finding and scanning a planet for resorces. This is already covered in [[Planetary Industry#Planet Scanning|Planet Scanning]] and [[Identifying valuable planets]].

-Once you are in the planet view, you can drag and zoom to see the planet from different angles. In the top-left corner are two tabs. "Build" and Scan". The scanning will be explained in [[Planetary Industry#Planet Scanning|Planet Scanning]] and [[Identifying valuable planets]]. To set up your colony you can use [[Setting up a planetary colony#Templates|templates]] or go building-by-building.

-The location of the [[Planetary buildings#Command Centers|Command Center]] is not overly relevant. In most cases it will not be connected to the rest of the colony and usually not used to export products from the planet. Your [[Planetary buildings#Command Centers|Command Center]] provides Powergrid and CPU to your entire colony. This limits how many buildings you can put in a colony. Everything takes a certain amount of CPU and Powergrid, including the links between the buildings. The [[Planetary buildings#Command Centers|Command Center]] itself does not need to be connected by a link for this. It just needs to exist somewhere on the planet. However, if you double-click anywhere on the planet it will center the view on the [[Planetary buildings#Command Centers|Command Center]], so having it close to the rest of the colony might make navigating back there easier.
