Eve Online - Extractor Efficiency - Planetary Industry 

Biggest issue I see with your setup is no storage. Typically, you want P0 going to a main storage facility in case of overflow, and P1/P2 going to the launch facility. The launch will fill up much slower so you need only visit your planets every 3-5 days. Also, you lose a lot with 24hr cycles. Somewhere between 5-12hrs is optimum. 10.5hrs is easy mode, 7hrs might be a bit aggressive.

Interesting take, I’ve not done PI in years but used to always use 3 day cycles so I could be more hands off. I guess with the change to volume this means you can run shorter cycles and have no issues with storage.

Agree with you that PI should be as hands off as possible … that’s why I set my extractors to run for seven days and just let em do their thing…

I cant even comprehend this stuff man

Yo love your spreadsheets

Very good explanations of what is going on. Thank you! I have 3 accts and only do PI on all but one character and pull in about 2.5B isk a week. Pays for itself. I am an engineer and I have a very different view on PI than you do. It doesn't do much good to try to extract the most you can on every planet when the top level product you can produce is limited by your lowest producing extraction planet. The volume change has been very good for PI. Your view of the extraction amount is too simplistic. The extraction curve is really an logarithmic?. for a starting extraction amount of x, at the end of one day, regardless of the timer setting, only 1/2x is extracted. At the end of 2 days, this has dropped to 1/3x. No matter how much you extract, at the end of the 3rd day, you cannot extract enough to power more than 4 heads.

Christ. Youre reall gonna make me go redo half my pi and add a second extractor 😂 bc i never thought itd be worth it having more factories for the good cycles at start

if you don't mind, could you please share this nice excel sheet?

to be honest its not something i really need for my pi setup as iv been keeping things pretty balanced producing p4 products. Still that sheet looks so nice id pay for it!

Love this PI content. Can you do a video and cover what the PI graph window means? When the extractor line goes red is that waste???

I've been using your vids as a guide for me doing PI in lowsec. I'm having issues with the deposit becoming devoid of materials. I was tempted to try and move my extractors, is it worth it?

any chance you have a video on how that spreadsheet is set up, or if we can have a link to it ? Thanks

any chance to get this chart thing ? thx

Does anyone know if the resources will come back around or replenish over time? Or should we expect them to dry up and have to change planets constantly?

Would I be correct in saying that the TLDW is: Extract 100% more than you produce per hour and set your cycle time to 24hrs?

Can you share the spreadsheet you are referencing?

In PI, you want to maximize your income. Factories should run 24/7, like you said in the first minute. But extractors should also run 24/7. Its nonsense to NOT restart extractors for like 20 hours or what you said. You just have to build more factories then. You have to balance raw income and processing in such way, that neither of both stand still.

You main assumption is flawed. Raw yield isn't linear. You're gong to lose the bulk of your input to waste without storage units.
