The items involved in Planetary Interaction are known as Resources (extracted from [[Planets]]) and Products (produced from Resources on planets) | |||
Resources are considered Tier Zero (R0), at least in the context of this guide, and each level of processing increases the tier by one. You thus get Tier 1 products (P1) produced by Resources (R0), Tier 2 Products (P2) produced by combining two different P1s, and so on. Processing items from one tier to the next happens in a [[Planetary Buildings#Processors|Processor]] on the surface of a planet, and each tier requires a different amount of different items. Processing can then be summarized as such, one level of processing needed per column: | |||

| bgcolor=khaki | Resources (R0) || bgcolor=lightgreen | Tier 1 Products (P1) || bgcolor=aqua | Tier 2 Products (P2) || bgcolor=steelblue | Tier 3 Products (P3) || bgcolor=pink | Tier 4 Products (P4) | |||
|} | |||
The actual Product combinations are performed as per "schematics" that are instructions for a Processor. Each schematic takes one to three items of varying tiers and quantities. You do not need to extract all the Resources you need on the same planet, nor process them to Tier 4. At any point you can supplement your "Colonies" from the market or sell your goods there. | |||
Aside from leading to higher tiers of planetary Products, some PI goods can be used for T2 blueprints, Starbase / Sov structures, nanite paste, or POS fuel. For more information on the involved items, see [[Planetary Commodities]]. To find out how to get started looking for your initial Resources, read on! | |||
