Setting up a planetary colony: Difference between revisions

There are eight types of planets in EVE: Barren, Gas, Ice, Lava, Oceanic, Plasma, Storm and Temperate. To do anything on a planet, you need to have a Planetary Command Center matching that planet's type. These are sold by NPCs throuout New-Eden. E-Uni home systems should have them avaible in the general hangars. If you are in E-Uni and have not have access yet, feel free to ask someone who has to help you out.

You can access the planet view by right-clicking a planet in the overview or any other list ans select "View planetary industry". You can get a list of avaible planets from opening the "Solar System: Information"by clicking on the systems name in the top left corner and select the "Orbital Bodies" tab. Each planet has their own information page accessed by the familiar[[File:Info button.png|frameless]]-icon. The only game-relevant attribute in this window is the radius and the extractable resources. It also has a button "View Planetary Industry" at the bottom.

Once you are in the planet view, you can drag and zoom to get a view from different angles. In the top-left corner are two tabs. "Build" and Scan". The scanning will be explained in [[Identifying valuable planets]]. To set up your colony you can use templates [to be added below] or go building-by-building.

To continue building the colony you will have to accept the placement of the Command Center.

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

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