What is Planetary Industry [PI]?
PI is a passive source of income where you place structures on planets to harvest resources. The resources you get are unique to PI and cannot be mined. PI opens up more option for industry to players and runs even when you are offline.
Getting Started
Skills –
Go to the planet management tab of the skills catalogue, you will want –
1. Command centre upgrades – very much needed as it determines how much you can build on a planet.
2. Interplanetary consolidation – Allows you to have 6 planets per character
3. Planetology and Advanced Planetology – allow for more clear scans of a planet
4. Remote sensing – means you can scan planets from different systems
Types of Planets –
So there is 8 planet types
- Barren / Gas / Ice / Lava / Oceanic / Plasma / Storm / Temperate
Each type of planet provides 5 different resource types
For example barren provides
- Aqueous liquids / Base Metals / Carbon Compounds / Microorganisms / Noble metals
The table below will show the planet types and the resources on them.


Command centers
To begin with you will need to buy a command centre of which there is 8 types.
- Barren / Gas / Ice / Lava / Oceanic / Plasma / Storm / Temperate
These all correspond to the 8 types of planets. You will need to put a gas command centre on a gas planet
Every planet you want to do PI on must have a command centre placed on it first
Command centres cost 81,000 isk each
Command centres can also be upgraded which increases the power and cpu levels allowing for more structures to be built on the planet. Command centres can be upgraded 5 times, this is dependant on your skills
