First step after extracting Resources is turning them into the first tier of Products - P1. Consult [[Planetary Commodities]] to find out what P1 item the resources you are extracting turn into, and then place a [[Planetary Buildings#Basic_Industry_Facility|Basic Processor]] somewhere near your Extractor or some sort of storage - your CC has enough storage capacity for a starting colony. You can move your stuff straight from an Extractor to a Processor, but risk losing any "overflow" of material that backs up while the Processor is working. So always try to use storage first. | First step after extracting Resources is turning them into the first tier of Products - P1.

Anyway, that the next step, not yet! So get your Basic Processor built and look at the menu highlighted in the screenie - Schematics! For the displayed Processor we've selected and submitted an order for Bacteria, which takes 3000 units of Micro Organisms and turns them into 20 units of Bacteria. You must have a schematic selected to be able to route a Resource to your Processor, and only the exact ingredient(s) needed will be routable there. | Anyway, that's the next step, not yet!

Beyond turning Resources into P1 look at the [[Planetary Commodities]] page again for more combinations including those for [[Planetary Buildings#Advanced Industry Facility|Advanced Industry Facilities]] and [[Planetary Buildings#High Tech Production Plant|High Tech Production Plants]]. | Beyond turning Resources into P1 look at the [[Planetary Commodities]] page again for more combinations including those for [[Planetary Buildings#Advanced Industry Facility|Advanced Industry Facilities]] and [[Planetary Buildings#High Tech Production Plant|High Tech Production Plants]]. | ||
