EVE Online Planetary Industry Guide

Field Summary

PI planning works best when the chain is simple enough to maintain. Start with output target, required inputs, factory rhythm, taxes, hauling, and whether the expected value is worth the attention cost.

Checklist

  • Start with the final product and work backward through direct inputs.
  • Reserve value for taxes, hauling, and market spread.
  • Keep layouts maintainable before optimizing for maximum theoretical output.
  • Review extraction inputs and factory cadence before expanding to more planets.

Warning Signals

  • A chain depends on hauling too often for the pilot's schedule.
  • Tax or route risk consumes the expected gain.
  • Factory assumptions are copied without checking input availability.
  • The plan requires more attention than the pilot wants to give it.

Common Mistakes

  • Planning only around sale price and ignoring logistics.
  • Building a chain that is too complex to maintain consistently.
  • Skipping tax reserve in early estimates.
  • Changing products too often before the first setup pays back.

Next Actions

  • Use PI Planner to compare P0-P3 chains.
  • Use Market Command to check product and input context.
  • Use Route Scout before exporting through risky space.
