To do anything on a planet, you need a Planetary Command Center matching that planet's type. Once you have deployed this from somewhere in space in the desired system, everything else can be done from anywhere in the universe until you export your items, which must be done in space in the same system as your colony. Picking up your items also must be done in space and uncloaked near either a Customs Office or a launched canister from your Command Center, depending on how you export your products. | To do anything on a planet, you need a Planetary Command Center matching that planet's type.

NPCs sell them for only 81,000 ISK, so they're pretty cheap, even for a new player (until you upgrade them, of course). Fly to the system with the Command Center in your cargo (you need at least 1000m3), and sit in space, preferably cloaked if you are (like myself in this example) in low sec or 0.0. Since The Syndicate, the system's owner, is an NPC corp, there is no player sovereignty blocking my deployment. | | colspan="3" | Buy a "XXX Command Center" on the market.

Sometimes you just see an extractor here or there, sometimes you see the Command Center. If you click on the Command Center you can see all the nodes in their network. Right-click on the background to hide or show other players colonies. Mostly you can just ignore them, except when they are sitting on top of the juicy deposit that is rightfully yours. If you both drink from the same deposit each gets less, just as if you place your own extractor heads too close to each other. The below images are taken from the original guide on this page.
