Welcome
Industry in EVE Online covers a wide set of jobs that aim to produce things for other people to use. Almost everything, except for some specific cases, has been built by another player, from ship hulls to modules or from citadels to Jump Bridges, pretty much everything you use in EVE has been made by someone else!
Types of Industry
Industry is separated into three distinct activities: Production, Reactions, and Science. While all activities are complementary, you do not necessarily have to utilize all three types since blueprints, materials, and components from reactions can all be bought on the market. Keep in mind, this usually will result in a margin loss. A graphical representation of the three types of industry jobs is shown below. In red, production, in green, reaction, in blue, science.
Home Economics
GSOL needs you... To do your part (TLDR Sell me your PI + minerals)
Production in Imperium Space - GEZ
Goonswarm Economic Zones (GEZ) are systems within our home space that are designated for a certain type of industrial specialization. These systems contain state-provided industrial structures which are open to any Imperium members. These structures are provided, maintained, and fueled by GSOL, so you don't have to worry about SSTAT deleting your Titan production job.
The intent is to provide baseline infrastructure to enable all varieties of Eve Online industry in order to facilitate local economic production and commerce.
Each GEZ will be optimized for certain types of industry in order to distribute load on the system cost indexes, and member corporation or alt corporations will be prohibited from deploying their own hardware within any designated zones.
Production
Basic T1 production
- Blueprints
- time efficiency and material efficiency
Invention
- Datacores
- Decryptors
T2 production
- Advanced components
T3 production
- Reverse engineering
Capital ships
Planetary Industry
Planetary Industry (PI) (previously called Planetary Interaction or Planetary Production (PP)), is a type of Industry that allows pilots to create industrial colonies on just about any planet in the EVE universe. The aim of this is producing goods from raw materials extracted from the planet. Planetary Industry can produce a range of commodities which can be used in blueprints to create POS Structures and Fuel Blocks, Sovereignty structures, Boosters, Nanite Repair Paste, and T2 components.
Finding good PI systems
- external tools
- advantages of alt corps
- sharing cans without alt corp
So now it's time to shop for a suitable planet. You have read up on what is made from of what on the Setting up a planetary colony page, and you have decided to make something. Now you need to find one or more planets that will keep your assembly line going. As you might expect, the abundance of resources on a planet is affected by the system's Security Status, but this is not the only consideration. If you want to make a whole product chain on one planet, you need to look at the mix of resources available too.
Several variables come into play in making this decision:
- Whether you need a specific product for your goal, or are maximizing profit from resource extraction
- The abundance of the product you need for the goal
- The relative abundance of the multiple products you need to achieve the goal
- The radius of the planet, which determines the cost of all of its links
External Tools
DOTLAN can be used to find potential planets prior to undocking.
- Select your region name
- Select your system name
- Select Moons - This will display the type of moons and their stats
https://hanns.io/pi/ can be used to map out what PI you need to make based on the end result you wish to have
planetsin.space -- a PI management and reminder tool
Prep for PI
- PI skill plan (share it)
- Command centers
- Epithal - the best ship ever
Extraction planets and best practices:
- Only one P1 per planet
- Keep all the links short
- Explain doubleclick shortcuts when setting up routes
