EVE Online | My Account. Eve Online Planetary Interaction Quick Start Guide. Planetary Interaction. Planetary interaction was introduced in May 2010 with the Tyrannis expansion Planetary Interaction (PI) allows pilots to create industrial colonies on just about any planet in the EVE universe. The aim of this is producing NPC Trade Goods from processing Raw Materials extracted from the planet in a method similar to that of manufacturing goods in Starbases. Planetary Interaction can produce a range of commodities. Some commodities can be used immediately, such as Oxygen for POS fuel, while others can be used in blueprints to create POS_Structures and T2 components[1]. Introduction To engage in Planetary Interaction, Pilots need to purchase the correct Command Center for their chosen planet from the market, there are eight types of Command Centre one to match each type of planet.
Once these raw materials have been collected, they can be processed on-planet into basic or advanced goods for greater profit, taken off planet for processing in a planet dedicated to manufacturing, or sold. Planetary Commodities. Planetary Commodities are the resources and products of Planetary Industry, a big part of Planetary Interaction. There are several tiers available with the end-products becoming larger and more complicated each tier. Inspiration drawn from Color legend Yellow = Resource Green = Tier 1 Product (P1) Aqua = Tier 2 Product (P2) Blue= Tier 3 Product (P3) Pink = Tier 4 Product (P4) Gray= No known immediate use (without further processing) Violet = Is or can be used to produce an end product: POS Fuel, Nanite Repair Paste, T2 components, POS / Sov structures Red= Component in another PI Product Tier 1 - Processed Materials (P1) Raw Materials (R0) can be processed into Processed Materials (P1) in Basic Industry Facilities.
One processed batch turns 30 m³ of a P0 material into 7.6 m³ of a P1 material, resulting in a reduction to 25% of original volume. Tier 2 - Refined Commodities (P2) Production Diagram.
