So now it is time to shop for a suitable planet. You have read up on what is made ~~out~~ 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 ~~can~~ expect, the abundance of resources is affected by the Security Status, but this is not the only consideration. If you ~~wanted~~ to make make a whole product chain on one planet, you need to look at the mix too.

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 make a whole product chain on one planet, you need to look at the mix of resources available too.

There are about 42 ~~thousand~~ planets in the EVE universe, and some are Oceanic, some Lava, some Temperate. Some are located in ~~high security~~, some in ~~low~~, some in ~~null security~~, and some in ~~wormholes~~. With such a range of choice, how do you pick the 1-6 planets that you want to commit your capital to?

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?

Several variables come into play in making this decision:

Line 17:

= Resource Abundance by Sec Status =

As with [[Ore_Details|~~Mining~~]], better yields can be found in lower security. Looking at this effect alone lets us focus on one of the several variables you need to look at.

As with [[Ore_Details|mining]] or ratting, better yields can be found in lower security space. Looking at this effect alone lets us focus on one of the several variables you need to look at.

To start off, let us make this simple and look at the abundance of something that will always require more than one planet, which means you can focus on just the one resource. Lava planets are the only source of Felsmic Magma, which is processed into Silicon. Below is a sampling of various lava planets of different security levels.

In ~~High Sec~~, you will note that Loggutur II and Aldrat I are singularly poor examples of Lava planets, having pretty much no Felsmic Magma at all, while Vullat IV is a rather good Lava Planet, having deposits that rival ~~alot~~ of lower security systems in the ~~High Sec~~ class. In any case though, you are not very likely to find any Lava Planets with huge supplies of Felsmic Magma, but if you look around, you can find some fairly decent ones.

In highsec, you will note that Loggutur II and Aldrat I are singularly poor examples of Lava planets, having pretty much no Felsmic Magma at all, while Vullat IV is a rather good Lava Planet, having deposits that rival a lot of lower security systems in the highsec class. In any case though, you are not very likely to find any Lava Planets with huge supplies of Felsmic Magma, but if you look around, you can find some fairly decent ones.

Moving to ~~Low Sec~~, we see Erstet VIII~~, which does not do any better abundance~~ than Vullat IV, ~~but has~~ all the dangers of ~~Low Sec~~. On the other hand, ~~Erstat~~ II has about double the abundance of the high sec systems. However, if we are going to dabble around in low sec, we might as well go all-in and jump to Egmar, Helgatild, or Todifrauan.

Moving to lowsec, we can see that Erstet VIII has no more Felsmic Magma than Vullat IV, despite having all the attached dangers of low security space. On the other hand, Erstet II has about double the abundance of the high sec systems. However, if we are going to dabble around in low sec, we might as well go all-in and jump to Egmar, Helgatild, or Todifrauan.

Finally, we could move into 0.0, but be careful ~~(from~~ being killed obviously), but also to avoid planets like PF-346 I, where we can find all the dangers of 0.0, ~~and~~ an abundance that is half or less of many High Sec planets. On the other hand, we could strike it lucky and find 93PI-4 I where Felsmic Magma is greater than half-way across the scale. Likely there might even be some planets that are even better.

Finally, we could move into 0.0, but be careful -- to avoid being killed, obviously, but also to avoid planets like PF-346 I, where we can find all the dangers of 0.0, but an abundance that is half or less than that of many High Sec planets. On the other hand, we could strike it lucky and find a planet like 93PI-4 I where Felsmic Magma is greater than half-way across the scale. Likely there might even be some planets that are even better.

(I can only conjecture that Wormholes are similar to 0.0, and likely the higher the class, the better.)

This survey suggests that the effect of security status on abundance is less linear security status, and more simply where it falls into the three classes of ~~High Sec, Low Sec~~, and ~~Null Sec~~.

Line 82:

Orvolle IV is not a very good planet at all, but Orvolle V, Hardbako VI, Aldrat VIII or Eygfe III would be good places to setup for High Sec Industrial Fiber production.

As can be expected, moving into ~~low sec~~ or 0.0 improves the results, with a very impressive yield in PF-346 III (in comparison to the improvement we saw in Felsmic Magma.)
