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.

There are two methods to get resources to the planets surface. Extracting and Importing.  
There are two methods to get resources to the planets surface. Extracting and Importing.  


* Extracting: If you are building a extraction colony, you mine the resources from the planet with extractors, usually refine the extracted materials to some degree and export them up from the planetary surface into space.
* Extracting: If you are building a extraction-planet, you mine the resources from the planet with extractors, usually refine the extracted materials to some degree and export them up from the planetary surface into space.


* Importing: If you are building a factory-colony, you import the resources from space, refine it with processors to one or more higher grade materials and export them up again from the planetary surface into space.
* Importing: If you are building a factory-planet, you import the resources from space, refine it with processors to one or more higher grade materials and export them up again from the planetary surface into space.


There are hybrid configuration, that use both methods, but in most cases it is more efficient to do one or the other.
