Setting up a planetary colony: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

There are eight types of planets in EVE: Barren, Gas, Ice, Lava, Oceanic, Plasma, Storm and Temperate. To do anything on a planet, you need to have a Planetary Command Center matching that planet's type. These are sold by NPCs throuout New-Eden. E-Uni 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.

To deploy the ~~command center~~ you need to have the command center-item in your cargo hold and have to be undocked in space in the same system as the planet you want to colonize. You can be tethered or cloaked for this step.

To deploy the [[Planetary buildings#Command Centers|Command Center]] you need to have the command center-item in your cargo hold and have to be undocked in space in the same system as the planet you want to colonize. You can be tethered or cloaked for this step.

You can access the planet view by right-clicking a planet in the overview or any other list ans select "View planetary industry". You can get a list of avaible planets from opening the "Solar System: Information"by clicking on the systems name in the top left corner and select the "Orbital Bodies" tab. Each planet has their own information page accessed by the familiar[[File:Info button.png|frameless]]-icon. The only game-relevant attribute in this window is the radius and the extractable resources. It also has a button "View Planetary Industry" at the bottom.

Line 18:

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 [[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 Command Center is not 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 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 Command ~~center~~ itself does not need to be connected by a link for this. However, if you double-click anywhere on the planet it will center the view on the Command Center, so having it close to the rest of the colony might make navigating back there easier.

|Once you are happy with the location, select your Command Center in the Build-tab and place it on the planet. The "edits pending" will show you the cost in ISK (zero in this case) and an option to submit or cancel. Nothing is paid and can always be changed or reverted back to the original state until the submit button is pressed. A few actions can not be done while there are edits pending.

|A Command Center is always deployed at its lowest level. The CPU and Power it provides for the colony is very limited. To upgrade the Command Center you have to click it and select the first tab with the green plus-icon. Here it will show you the level it can be upgraded to, depending on the level in the [[Command Center Upgrades]] skill.
