Moving on to the more complicated question of looking at resource mixtures, we now consider the possibility of not just feeding other producers of the higher levels of production with raw materials, but trying to make something completely ourselves.

Moving on to the more complicated question of looking at resource mixtures, we now consider the possibility of not just feeding other producers of the higher levels of production with raw materials, but trying to make something completely ourselves, preferably on one planet. We know from the [[Planetary Commodities#Tier 2 (P2]] page that there are some planets that can completely make a particular product. For example,

* Livestock are made from Biofuels (made from Carbon Compounds) and Proteins (made from Complex Organisms). Both of these could be found on Oceanic and Temperate planets.

* Test Cultures come from Water and Bacteria, so Barren, Ice, Oceanic or Temperate planets could produce these completely.

~~It can also be noted~~ that Eygfe III would ~~also~~ be a good planet to produce Test Cultures, since it has equal parts Microorganisms (makes Bacteria) and Aquaeous Liquid (makes Water). This would of course depend on the exact distribution of those two resources as well as their abundance.

Note, however, that Eygfe III would be a good planet to produce Test Cultures, since it has equal parts Microorganisms (makes Bacteria) and Aquaeous Liquid (makes Water), meaning that you are not filling your storage with extra stuff you do not need. This would of course depend on the exact distribution of those two resources as well as their abundance. If we found a planet that has 30% Aqueous Liquids, and 30% Microorgasms, this is a good choice. However, what if we found a planet with 30% Aqueous Liquids and 40% Microorganisms. If we are willing to collect the excess Microorganisms on a regular basis, we can produce the Test Cultures, and have a small amount of extra revenue selling Bacteria to producers of Nanites, sited on Barren worlds where the abundance of Microorganisms is less than on the Oceanic world we chose.

~~''Make reference to the part of the Industry pages which talks~~ about ~~types of planets that can make something all~~ on ~~the one type of planet~~.''

The conjecture about Microorganism abundance on Barren worlds is complete conjecture at this point. :-)
