-So now it's time to shop for a suitable planet.   You have read up on what is made from of what on the [[Planetary Industry]] page, and you have decided to make something.  Now you need to find one or more planets that will keep your assembly line going.  As you might expect, the abundance of resources on a planet is affected by the system's Security Status, but this is not the only consideration.   If you want to  make a whole product chain on one planet, you need to look at the mix of resources available too.
+The selection of appropriate [[Planets|planets]] is essential to successful, profitable [[Planetary Interaction]]. This page provides ancillary guidance and rules-of-thumb for indentification of high-potential planets and illustrates how security status affects resource abundance as a supplement to pages about the [[Planetary Interaction 101|basics of planetary interaction]] and the [[Setting up a planetary colony|mechanics of creating a colony]].
+Consider that EVE universe includes about 42,000 planets of [[Planets#Planet types|9 different types]] in systems of every security status in [[System security#Known Space|known]] and [[System security#Wormhole Space|wormhole]] space. This page is designed to help players choose the best 1-6 planets to work with.
-There are about 42,000 planets in the EVE universe, and some are Oceanic, some Lava, some Temperate.   Some are located in highsec, some in lowsec, some in nullsec, and some in wormhole space.  With such a range of choice, how do you pick the 1-6 planets that you want to commit your capital to?
+You should carefully consider your purpose for performing PI before choosing a planet. For example, you'll likely choose a very different set of planets if you are performing PI strictly to maximize profit versus setting up a supply chain to produce a specific end-product. With that goal in mind, you'll want to consider the relative abundance of each of the required resources and the <<<got up to here [[User:William lyon mackenzie|William lyon mackenzie]] ([[User talk:William lyon mackenzie|talk]]) 11:58, 17 July 2019 (CDT)
-Several variables come into play in making this decision:
+* The abundance of the product you need for the goal
-# Whether you need a specific product for your goal, or are maximizing profit from resource extraction
+* The relative abundance of the multiple products you need to achieve the goal
-# The abundance of the product you need for the goal
+* The radius of the planet, which determines the cost of all of its links
