Planetary Interaction: Difference between revisions

Line 31:

At first you are limited to a single planet, so ideally you need to first figure out what you're interested in harvesting and/or producing, pick the planet most appropriate for that activity, and then look for an example with the right resources in abundance. ''general pointers for how abundant planets get in hisec goes here''

To actually look for a planet you can use several different ways. You can fly to them and actually click the planet, or be lazy and just select the planets from your overview. Either way you'll want to "View in planet mode" and get yourself a nice up-close view

(insert screenie here)

You can also select planets from several other different views, like via the Atlas. The [[Skills:Science#Remote Sensing|Remote Sensing]] skill will determine from how far away you can enter planet mode (''This is still theorized - range seems to be somewhat or completely irrelevant at the moment as you can even manage planets in w-space from k-space'')

Needs tables and correlation to the [[Planets]] info.

== Scanning and Surveying ==

These two are distinct - "Scanning" in the PI context refers to scanning a planet for a specific raw material, bringing up a heat map showing geographic abundancy. Surveying is done from a placed Extractor and will show you what deposits are available to extract at that spot.

=== Planet Scanning ===

After you've familiarized yourself a bit with planets and resources, you'll probably want to extract one from the other. Finding a planet that is simply abundant in a resource you want is only the first step. Now you need to find out where on the planet you'll want to place your stuff. To get started, click ...
