Advanced PI setup - Make your way to riches | EVE Online

[@chrisbrown6120]

just remembered I had PI set up five months ago 😱

[@GildiiAuscent]

One month passes for that setup every week, eh? :D

[@ljrretropcs]

Gonna start muscling in on your markets after this

[@GildiiAuscent]

You would if I was selling those mats, but most of it goes into industry :D

[@0cky]

Links are excessive especially after they halved the m3 of all PI materials. Might be able to fit more factories if they are reduced to the minimum required. Still a better setup than a lot of other ones I've seen in videos.

[@GildiiAuscent]

Yes, you could probably fit more but I also did not do all the minmaxong with the max amount of jumps materials can travel in p3/4 planets, this is just for convenience. And with those numbers, you are sustaining exact numbers of factories needed to keep going, nothing less, nothing more

I have 19 characters producing PI. The issue that I would have with your setups are that I am producing so much P1 that I would not be able to process it into the higher level P2 fast enough. Like you, P0 gets directly turned into P1. My P2 and P3 factories have 2 launch pads, 2 storage containers and 22 factories. My P4s have 3 launch pads, 3 storage containers and 9 factories. I set my extraction cycles to 1 week. With that many characters, resetting the extractors daily would be too painful and the volume is more than made up for by through sheer numbers. Remember, each account has 3 characters and if you are already paying for Omega, using those empty slots as PI characters is a great use of your slots and Omega. The SP to get started in PI is very low (about 2-3 small injectors gets you a decent epithal and ok starting PI skills). After 1 MCT you will have a good PI character, after 2 MCT's, you would have max skills. It is important to purchase 2 implants (Charisma and Memory I think.). You don't need a full set because most of the PI skills are covered with just 2 attributes. So PI is easy to scale, so long as you have the stomach for it. I am currently producing about 10b of PI per month.

[@GildiiAuscent]

I can imagine that at that scale and long extraction times you end up having to change it around. I made the setups for what I do and level I have experience in, and with bottlenecks, some of the extra mats I just excha ge between chars to keep them running smoothly

[@Madgod711]

How much do you make with this setup?

[@wayneyessir6350]

@@Madgod711 10b a month. Give or take a bill.

[@Madgod711]

@@wayneyessir6350 Okay yeah, that's where my calculations last night brought me approximately. I DEFINITELY have to get into PI. I've been gas huffing to plex my accounts, and that's at least 30 hours of work a month. This would be maybe what, 30 minutes a day?

[@wayneyessir6350]

@@Madgod711 Well, first realize, i do it in Null, so i get better returns than someone would in High. As far as time per day. I usually spent about 1-2hrs a day doing 5-6 accounts. But obviously someone can break it up however they like. key is not to get burnt out. break it up into manageable chunks, even if you lose a little effeciency.

Thanks

[@GildiiAuscent]

You're welcome

[@berrigo2]

So my PI setup, I have 4 planets, each producing a t2 for fuel blocks. I might switch 1 or two to this approach and see if I cant do the same thing with less planets or just more efficiently. Thanks!

[@GildiiAuscent]

Hope you'll like this one :)
