Setting up a planetary colony: Difference between revisions

Line 18:

''This pictorial guide will show you step-by-step how to set up a basic colony for producing P1 products from locally extracted R0 raw materials.''

We will be going over:

# The basic setup of a Command Center (CC), an Extractor Control Unit (ECU) and extractor heads, a Launchpad, a Basic Industry Facility (BIF), and links.

# Routing inputs and outputs to minimize resource loss.

Line 24:

Line 23:

# Exporting via the Command Center.

| colspan="3" | Buy a "XXX Command Center" on the market. (We are going to a Temperate Planet, so I bought a Temperate Command Center). 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.

Select the planet in the Overview and select View Planetry Industry from either the Selected Item box or via the right-click contextual menu. ~~<br>~~

* Check out the Competition: While we were waiting, we could have checked out who else is on the planet. Sometimes you just see an extractor here or there, sometimes you see the Command ~~Centre~~. 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. For more details~~, see [[Planetary Industry PvP]]~~.
