Eve Online Planetary Interaction Pt:3 Increasing the Yield. 1.2 BIL a Month and Counting

In this episode we revisit my 3 alts and their low sec PI set up. I have rebuilt a lot of it and increased the income by about 50%!

You answered my question on 2 Extractors. These videos are landing right when I opened PI. Thanks Dad

[@keithsunley5033]

Great set of videos Just started P I A few hiccups originally but watched the videos a few more times and noticed what I’d missed As I’m believing I definitely am Eveing

[@CadePlaysGames]

Balancing production is always a pain. I ended up doing all the math and worked out that each Basic Factory can handle 144,000 units of raw material from Extractors per 24 hours then went from there. I want a little tiny bit of surplus raw materials to show up in the storage, as that means that every factory I have was fully occupied and working every second of every day, but I don't want so much surplus that it clogs up the storage(!) Having no surplus always makes me think that factories have been lying idle and that triggers me :p

[@Bfamreef]

Yup. Nothing worse then getting on and seeing nothing being made.

[@fuzzypockets]

Same... But if too much raw material stocks up, I fear there won’t be enough space for finished goods some day... I think what I will do is having a separate storage for raw materials and letting the finished goods go directly onto the launch pad. I also don’t like buildings to be that close together, I’d rather like to see all the lines between them and see the animations... so it will be far from efficient

[@jrmfrg]

Yes!!! I never thought to have my two other alts do pi! Thank you thank you

[@johnbass5374]

Thank you! that was great I watched all three videos

@Dad Dex Remote sensing is pretty neat if you are scouting for a planet to set up your industry. The info says x ly (light year) for each level of the skill, which is a bit weird since there isn't a straight forward way to see the distance in that unit. AU is used within one system, which means one astronomical unit, the distance from earth to the sun=150mill kilometers, but 1 ly is around 63k kilometers. But if you open the map and click under Personal you will find Planet scan range, with that picked you will see the distance to a system in the ly unit! This then works with the agency tab, when you go under resource harvesting -> planetary industry you can inspect the planets at a glance from there, and try to check a system that is outside your remote sensing range...you wont be able to see the resources! :D

Watch out when Space Bug is in Local. Hunter. If he's there at the same time as Jayka Kyer, I tend to dock up, or pass through quickly in something cloaky.

[@daddex9222]

We have had a few fights with them over the last couple of years, they are good guys, but yes dangerous xD

[@squ1dz_streams776]

love the content :)

[@daddex9222]

Thanks Squ1ds ! :)

[@rensvisser6504]

Here a random time consuming idea. If you just extract Just p0 you get in no time all material Neded for a P4 factory planet(wh only, taxes in null sec kill possebility). Couple of planets to build T2 then T3 Factory planet. You have 3 chars. Done right, you van het 4 Bill(average) a month easy. 5 min work a Day :) also all is in same Solar system. Other helpful fact p0 to P2 is exactly the same, dificullty starts at p3 with cycles. So 2 P1 facts per 1 P2 fact (one for each input) Also click festy: when you dump all types material Neded in multiple spaceports. You route IT(click fest) you dont have to think aboit what you drop where. This reduces time in space.

[@BuddhaCloud3721]

tyvm, waiting for pt4

[@tweedspeculum6820]

Hi Dad Dex, me again lol. could you make a video that shows how to install your own customs office to accommodate your commodities from all of your PI's in a system?

[@daddex9222]

Yes I will if I can can find some where suitable. Most of the places I hang out I would need to pew someone else's to make space for mine so can't be done lightly :)

[@seven9766]

eve is always about balancing risk vs reward. This seems to be medium -high reward over the course of a month, if making enough to buy plex for continued omega is any measure. What's the risk involved with PI, apart from the usual risk of running cargo anywhere?

[@Bfamreef]

It's just to bad the value of pi is down so much. I'm stock pilling all of mine hoping for better days.

[@jangoofy]

Are you sure exporting and importing P0's / Raw is profitable ? is it not all eaten up in taxes ? Even with your own POCO and in lowsec, there is still a base tax for import / export as far as I know

[@daddex9222]

No, the tax rates are 10% right now, i guess if you didn't minimise the use of the poco they could mount up, it is just part of the costs, they only one once you have set the planet up. It is the reduction in volume for the run out that makes advanced processing a must for me, so i need the imports.

[@EskaronVokonen]

Considering you have multiple characters exploiting the same planets, have you noticed if your characters affect the planet output toward each of your alts ? So far, it is not clear to me if the planet output is influenced by each players extracting from the same planet.

[@daddex9222]

I think an planet is effected by the number of players using them. I am not sure a few alts would make a huge difference. I will try to find out more now I can chat to the Devs directly xD

[@EskaronVokonen]

​@@daddex9222 Oh nice, that is handy. I feel a lot is yet to be found/clarified about PI ; EVE University sometime use the word "theory" to explain about abundance of resources in general, but they didn't mention the players as a factor. Once, I had setup the extractors on, by far, the best spot on the planet for a ressource, and came back a few hours later on the same day, and it already looked rather empty. When I sharpened the resolution, I could see many other much better spots elsewhere on the planet. I tend to believe I was not the only one to extract on that spot, but that is only speculation.

[@andrijagrgic2357]

Is this per character or for all toons toget?

[@daddex9222]

the three characters combined xD

[@frilime1710]

Dad Dex i really like your videos, but the intro sound causes a hearth attack every time i use headphones.
