Greetings Pilots,

Today we will be learning about basic P2 PI, the skills needed to get everything setup, and how everything works.

PI is a great isk making platform that will allow you to generate isk passively with little investment, as long as you set it up correctly and maintain your planets.

The setup I will be making for P2 production will require you have Command Centers Upgrades to 4, and I would highly recommend getting Interplanetary Consolidation to 4 as well as this will allow you to have 5 PI planets active.

Secondary skills you will need to train will be Remote Sensing and Planetology to 3 but these are not required, they simply allow for more accurate scan results.

You will also need a ship large enough to carry a command center as it weighs 1000 m3 and I would recommend the Epithal as it is designed for PI.

In this tutorial, we will be creating rocket fuel as its used it the construction of ammo so it is used often. You can create other PI products, but you need to first determine what planets you have available to you, and the profit margins of the product.

To figure out what products you would like to create, I recommend using adam4eve - https://www.adam4eve.eu/pi_rank.php

A quick overview of how this site works, we mainly need to worry about the Customs Taxes, the Output Level, and the method of selling.

First we need to determine the Tax rate of the Customs office we will be building at, the default tax rate if it has not been set is 10%, this is determined by the corporation who owns the Customs office so this can vary.

To figure out the Tax rate of a customs office, simply undock your ship and stop on the undock, looking at your overview you can sort it by type, and then locate the section of custom offices. If you do not see customs offices on your overview, you can create a new tab and set the profile to "Warp To" and they will appear.

Right click on customs office of the planet you are thinking of building on, and select "Show Info"

If we click on the "Attributes" tab, at the bottom we can see the tax rate of the customs office, in my case its 3% so now we can go back to adam4eve and input our customs office tax for this planet, 3%.

Next we need to set Output Level to P2 - Refined, leave type as both, and set max levels to 2.

I will be selling straight to buy orders so I will set "Selling to" to "Buy Orders"

Now we can select show me, and this will filter the results for only P2 products being sold directly to buy orders in Jita.

If we sort by "Profit", we can see Rocket fuel generates about 39 isk per unit, and is in the mid range, so we will go with this.

To figure out what planets can produce, I recommend using this website Alysii's PI scheme - https://hanns.io/pi/ - it shows what planets can produce, in a nice layout thats easy to follow.

If we hover over the storm planet, we can see in the "Refined P2" column highlighted in green every P2 material that can be produced on a storm planet.

It is important to note that although all the highlighted P2s can be made on the storm planet, it will require 2 P1's to be refined into a single P2 so some products would require 2 seperate planets to produce the P2, we want to avoid this.

If we click on Rocket Fuel, we can see it has 2 lines going from the storm plane to Ionic Solutions which gets converted into Electrolytes, and Suspended Plasma which gets converted into Plasmoids. When we combine the Electrolytes and Plasmoids, we get Rocket Fuel.

This is the basis of P2 how we will be producing P2 PI on a single planet in this tutorial.

Making P2 Rocket Fuel
Storm Planet
Needs:
Ionic Solutions -} Electrolytes
Suspended Plasma -} Plasmoids

1x Launch Pad
2x Extractors
6x Basic Indy Facility
3x Advanced Indy Facility

Goals are to keep 2 Advanced facilities running at all times.
