Tier 1 - Processed Materials (P1)
Planetary Resources (P0) can be processed into Basic Commodities (P1) in Basic Industry Facilities. See the Planet page for more information on Resources. Planets listed are where the Resource can be found and thus which planets can create the appropriate P1 component without importing anything.

Tier 2 - Refined Commodities (P2)
Basic Commodities (P1) can be turned into Processed Materials (P2) in Advanced Industry Facilities. It takes two different P1 items to create one P2 item.

Tier 3 - Specialized Commodities (P3)
It takes two or three different Processed Materials (P2) to create Refined Commodities (P3) in Advanced Industry Facilities

Tier 4 - Advanced Commodities (P4)
Advanced Commodities (P4) are created in High Tech Production Plants and take either three Refined Commodities (P3) each or two P3s and one P1.

| 6 x 6 m³ | 6 x 6 m³ | 6 x 6 m³ or 40 x 0.38 m³ | 1 x 100 m³ |
One processed batch turns a combined 108 or 87.2 m³ of three P3 materials or two P3s + one P1 into one 100 m³ P4 item, making volume reduction insignificant at this point, or in the odd case when a P1 material is involved, actually increases the volume beyond the components! Yes, somebody appears to have allowed that guy talking about Perpetual Motion Devices to touch the P4 production chain.
