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.We will use the two terms and the corresponding abbreviations interchangeably for now. 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. It was introduced in May 2010 with the Tyrannis expansion and received some UI changes and a new name in 2018 with the Abyss expansion.

EVE Planetary Planner is a small tool created to have a quick and easy overview of Planetary Interaction in EVE Online. The tool can display the complete production line for any product that can be made from Planetary Interaction. It also display information about the time needed to produce each component needed for the final product. EVE Planetary Planner is a small tool I created to have a quick and easy overview of Planetary Interaction in EVE Online. Planetary interaction is not very complicated by itself. But it still easy to get lost along the production line, and make mistakes that could cost you, or your corp, millions or billions of ISKs. The tool can display the complete production line for any product that can be. ← Planetary Interaction Guide Mining in EVE Online → Nearby Planets By Type This tool allows you to search in or near a solar system for barren, gas, ice, lava, oceanic, plasma, shattered, storm, or temperate planets.

Introduction

To engage in Planetary Industry, pilots need to purchase the correct Command Center for their chosen planet from the market. There are eight types of Command Centers (one for each type of planet). Once the correct Command Center is placed on a planet other facilities such as extractors and processors may be placed. As the correct Command Center needs to be deployed before beginning any extraction, it is good to survey and select your chosen planet(s) prior to purchase.

Once raw materials have been collected, they can be processed on-planet or on a planet dedicated to manufacturing into basic or advanced goods, taken off-planet for station-based processing into a variety of products used in space, or sold. Material is removed from a planet either by launches from the Command Center or through a planetary Customs Office that charges a tax. Material can be brought down to a planet only through the Customs Office, at a reduced taxation rate.

Selling the materials and/or goods provides a source of income to players who invest in the necessary skills. You can keep a colony running with a little attention once a day, more often if you want to optimize, or less often if you'd just like to coast along and check on your assets once in a while.

Currently the facilities on the planet are invulnerable, however you may indirectly compete with others for nearby resources. Retrieving the valuable products from planets is another matter altogether, as pilots experience the typical risks of transporting valuables.

Planetary Industry can be performed in all areas of space (highsec, lowsec, NPC 0.0 space, sovereign 0.0 space, and wormhole space). A small number of systems are not available for colonization due to high traffic or storyline reasons. The list of restricted systems is:

Amarr
Arnon
Aunia
Auvergne
Balginia
Dodixie
Fricoure
Ichoriya
Irjunen

Isaziwa
Isinokka
Jita
Lustrevik
Motsu
Oursulaert

Also, Planetary Industry is not available in Shattered systems.

Quick Start Videos

The following videos explain the basics of Planetary Industry. For more details you should consult the Setting up a planetary colony page.

CCP made a very nice 4 part YouTube tutorial: part1, part2, part3, part4.

CCP also made an older one part Planetary Interaction video guide (post-Incursion), which you can find here (YouTube)

An even older (pre-Incursion) E-UNI guide can be found here: Streaming (YouTube) (HD) or Download (Eve-Files) (1280x720 HD).

A transition guide for players adapting to the changes in Incursion is here: (YouTube)

Some more advanced video guides are also available:

Single-Planet P3 Production - note that with Incursion it is no longer possible to do 'perfect' P3 production on any planet, as no command center can support four ECU's and the factories needed to achieve continuous P3 production. However the video is still helpful as it gives an excellent overview of setting up from start to final production.

None of the skills related to PI are technically required to try it out. However, you'll be limited to a single Command Center (and thus a single planet) of the lowest quality until you do some initial training. Additionally, unless you want to place your extractors blind, you'll want to train Remote Sensing to at least level 1. Thus, you're most likely to get the best use out of training that first, then Interplanetary Consolidation and Command Center Upgrades.

(Planet Management) Interplanetary Consolidation - Increases the number of planets you can install command centers on up to 6
(Planet Management) Command Center Upgrades - Allows you to use better quality command centers. This in turns allow you to increase the number of installations on the planet.
(Planet Management) Remote Sensing - Allows a player to scan planets remotely. Each skill level increases the distance at which it's possible to scan. Requires level 1 to scan at all, so train to level 1 before starting PI.
(Planet Management) Planetology - Increases the resolution when scanning planets for resources. This is visible in the number of gradient bands displayed on the planet surface when scanning for a resource.
(Planet Management) Advanced Planetology - Increases the precision when scanning planets for resources. Note that Planetology allows you to see more details while Advanced Planetology allows you to have a more accurate idea of where the resources are located. See the skills page for more info.
(Trade) Customs Code Expertise - Reduces the NPC tax rate of Player Owned Customs Offices (POCOs) in high sec. It does NOT, however, have any effect on tax rates with NPC customs offices neither inside or outside of high sec.

Planets come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and accordingly provide different materials. Each planet provides five resources, but a few unique resources each only exist on a single planet type. The unique resources include Autotrophs ( Temperate planets), Felsic Magma ( Lava planets), and Reactive Gas ( Gas planets).

At first you are limited to a single planet, so ideally you need to initia
