How (not) To Do Planetary Interaction - EVE Online Corvette to Cynabal Bootstrap Challenge - Ep. 16

Bill Dingha Cynabal's quest for the materials to build his very own Cynabal has taken him to the far reaches of space, from the remote Angel strongholds of Curse to the embattled ice fields of Metropolis. But there is one place he has always feared to go: planetside. To wrap up the year, Bill puts on his foreman's hat and bootstraps his way through the planetary industry interface.

I kinda want to make a 48 sec parody video of just me buying a Cynabal in Jita and undocking xD

[@David-fp9yr]

Absolutely hilarious to see a pvp player trying to do the biggest pve part of eve

[@moruck_eve]

This series is just awesome because it shows, if you play every aspect of the game it can get complicated. BUT you see aswell and especially in this episode that you can figure it out and it can feel rewarding. Even if you wont nail it in the first run

[@chisps_]

You don't need to be near a planet to drop the Command Center, just in system. Only time you need to be at the physical planet is to pick up materials from the customs office.

[@user-ly2en8eu4c]

You can do PI while docked if you click Agency - > resource harvesting -> PI. It has a nifty UI to view all your PI from anywhere in space. Also this was really amusing and relatble :D Half a year ago i was trying to get into PI. Im pretty set up by now and have quite a lot of knowledge but figuring it out was making my head hurt

[@AndyKauffman-ml3og]

I've been doing PI off & on for awhile, & your setup made my eye twitch! 😅 For what you needed though, you did fine. I've always said the worst way to do PI is not to do PI, so nice work!

[@darkarcanum1814]

"Made my eye twitch" golden 😂

[@slutmonke]

yeah you definitely would use more storage units normally to smooth things out. Normally you'd do as many extractor heads as you have skills for, and be suuper careful about putting buildings right up against each other while zoomed in so that you minimize PG/CPU use. But for what you're trying to do this is fine! XD

[@iamnickletsgo]

great time with this series so far, I check for a new one far too frequently!

[@j.a.moniquer7136]

fun series to watch. almost got me interested in PI. almost...

[@Grugnak]

Well, this is going to be an interesting episode.

[@bluespruce786]

Really interesting to see such a raw, unedited, look at the way someone else interacts with New Eden. Thanks for posting these up!

[@K1lostream]

I partially fund my pvp habit with PI alts and have it optimised for where I do it - if that was your goal, I’d have LOT to teach you, but your goal is different and you got it done! Congrats!

[@thomastrning4540]

I have the utmost respect for what you are doing. So much that you have inspired me to try something like you, albeit a bit less restrictive. I wish you success and am looking forward to your next video!

[@khatharrmalkavian3306]

It's good to walk a mile in the shoes of your prey. It lets you know what they're trying to accomplish, and what vulnerabilities that process exposes.

[@slutmonke]

oh boy, this is the part of industry that's really going to get ridiculous! I tried doing PI once in WH space about 10 years ago. So much to learn about something that effectively ends up just being a waiting game lol

[@deftsquirrel6738]

Definitely not mad, but highly entertaining 😅

[@0ppression]

my ocd cannot handle those pi layouts :) great series man!

[@chaq3660]

Thanks for the vid. I learned more by watching it than by watching tutorial videos. But I still don't want to do PI 😂

[@specs.weedle]

can't fuck up PI any more badly than I did

[@kingdsj13524]

Commenting for algorithm keep it up dude.

[@traviskinchen2265]

Yep, I think it's time I tried PI, after years of shrugging and saying "maybe later".

[@Yoyo-hm8wi]

fun series to watch

[@MarcWeavers]

(half way through vid at this point) you can add more heads on the extractor for very little extra CPU/power usage also better way to to routing is have storage facilities set as the destination for the extracted resources, the factories can be told to get materials from those, either by source pulling by the factory, or routing from the storage facility to the factory, ive not done PI for a while so you might not need to do this much for the small quantities of materials you need

[@axel8406]

Did you start planetary resource harvesting after this episode on other accounts? I was just wondering if the ISK is worth the effort.

[@tabarnoucheinterplanetary]

I did not. But I can't answer for you the question of whether the isk is worth the effort. My understanding is that once you have all the skills trained to max and have put in the research to solidly understand optimized setups, you can bring in something like 300m per character slot per month, for probably about 2 hours of work (again per character per month) resetting extractors, moving resources between planets, hauling everything to market, and managing sell orders. For me, I find the PI gameplay tedious enough that that's not worth it. But then, my main already has more isk than I know what to do with, and I'm fortunate to have IRL finances that are stable enough that I never even consider PLEXing for Omega. If any of those things are different for you, the balance may very easily shift in favour of optimizing PI.

[@axel8406]

@tabarnoucheinterplanetary thank you for the quick reply. I might get into it just to see if I like it, but I had the same thought you had. I watched a video on it and said, Nope, I would much rather mine. 300 million isk a month would be a free pvp boat and that does sound good.

[@JDCT123]

Don't you need enriched uranium for fuel blocks?

[@tabarnoucheinterplanetary]

Oh shiiiii--

[@user-fv3dv2gu1w]

Cant wait to see you looking for gas ;)

[@Mr_Fission]

Satan himself designed EVE's PI interface. I have 77 PI planets across 5 accounts and having to micromanage the planetary UI is the worst part of my week. By the way, the reason that you were seeing "2" as the quantity for the resource income is because the column width is too low to display the entire number. If you widen the column, it shows the full number. This is just one a thousand UI failures for PI.

[@kingalf4828]

honestly an embarrisingly bad set-up.. u def need to watch more tute vids on this. good for having a go tho..

[@FracturedM1nd]

Lol kinda childish to watch someone's progressive discovery and learning and to tell them they need to learn more. You kinda missed the point.

[@kingalf4828]

@@FracturedM1nd - no, its morer like trying to fly a plane wthout any instruction 1st, just get in a give it a go, ie a tad stupid, esp when theres plenty of good teachers to show u how.
