How can I destroy maretials in PI?

Let's say I have an imbalance of P1, such as an excess of 600 units of BioFuel relative to how much Protein I have.

And it's taking up space in my PI Storages or my Launchpad. How can I get rid of it? I thought about just launching it up into space when I drop by to pick up the P2 items, and then jettisoning the excess P1 in a jetcan, but already by launching the excess P1 I'm taxed for it, which I'd like to avoid.

So how do I destroy material down on the planet surface?

Keep it. Next week you may have a hotspot of the raw material that makes protein, so you have more protein than biofuels.

Expedite it to a Storage Facility, then delete the Storage Facility.

Not that expensive either but it will work.

But really, just grab the material anyway and sell it for a few ISK. What the heck.

Why not just go to the planet, and store it in a nearby station? Unless you have no acessible stations where youre doing your PI :) In this case, just delete it I supose with the methods writte above

I have a planet with a silo that collects excess. When the silo fills, I change the extractors to extract the other material only which has a lower rate, and send the silo contents to the launchpad (from where all my routes originate and end) to process it.

How do I move it off the planet without getting taxed?

I have a silo for each of the two kinds of R0 that I extract.

Until a few hours ago, the P1 went into a combined silo, which was then processed into P2 and moved to the Launchpad.

But now I skipped this 3rd silo and just have a central Launchpad for P1, the other P1, and the P2 end product. I also have 2 BIF of each kind and 2 AIF.

That's why I want to be able to get rid of excess P1. I want as much of the Launchpad as possible free so it can store P2.


And I don't have a problem with extracting enough R0 from my planets - enough to feed a double production setup, even though they're in 0.5/0.6'ish space. My two input silos are easy to keep 1/2 to 3/4 full, with intermittent 25-hour extraction cycles. It's a very nice and relaxed setup that can make me a bit over a hundred million per month on 4 planets. It's also maximized tax evasion, since I never move stuff between planets, but just do all the work on each of the planets, then launch into space and haul to Jita.

You can't, but just SELL IT. Christ. Are you averse to making ISK or something?

Or, hell, just store it in the customs office.

Set one of your factories to build something that uses that material on the input. Then switch the factory to a different product that does not use that material and poof the old materials that were queued in the factory are now gone. Repeat as necessary. It's time consuming, but it's a free option to make stuff disappear.

Just grab it and sell it anyway. Any small amount of ISK is still ISK.

Same way you sell anything else in EVE, on the market.

btw, the tax on 600 units of a P1 product is 30 000 ISK, assuming highsec planet.

I switch extractor head creating surplus T1 to other extractor (u use 2 extractor, 6basic, 3advanced factories setup). T1 mats eventualy get processed to T2 and other type of T1 starts generating surplus at some time i switch extractor head back.

Change is necessary about once in a week and in this way i export only T2 mats.

You take it to a station, and you click 'sell this item'. There should be a buy order, or else put up a sell order.

Please, do tell me how you managed to even board your ship with this level of knowledge.

Salpad has been posting for awhile, so even I was more than slightly puzzled by that statement too.
