Unfortunately people always base their numbers on multiple characters etc.

Me personally, I currently get 60mil ish per week per character,cycling on 24 hour cycles on a null planet.


Yeah, this is very realistic for null. I'm using one character and I calculated that I should make about 400m per month. In reality, I make about 280m when you factor in forgetting to pick up stuff, 5% tax, hotspots moving around etc. This requires about 30 minutes of work every day.

The day to day maintenance isn't bad, but the initial setup is torture. Once you've linked 20 processors with factories, individually set each schematic, individually routed each input and output (and there's often multiple), and then repeated the process for four more planets, you'll quickly realize why people like me are lazy and refuse to move their ECU's around. Your wrist will also be crying.

So your main does the final reaction while the others provide tier 2 or 3 items?


Yep. The PI alt's only need about 11 days of training to use a bestower with 13k m3 of space and CC IV & IC IV.


Does TEST know you're doing lowly, cowardly carebear sh!t like that?!??!! Shame on you!!


My dual-WCS/24.5k m3 Itty V(s) laugh at your Bestower. Granted, they're 30M a piece, but being able to laugh at lone wolves is nice. Until you meet a Hictor pilot who laughs louder.

:D

I tend to get 80M/week or so profits per character.

Hello there.

I have PI setup in Hi sec, located close to Jita and I do Coolant production most of the time.
Factories on 9 planets have 30h cycle but I do export and refill every afternoon before poduction ends.
I takes 1 to 1,5h to do all the job because coolat sales quickly at this time.
I use one alt on secod account for 6 planets, mine char for another 3 and hauling with orca.
Every 2-3 days there is enough money to build 2 more factories - fully upgraded and refilled ( ~30mil )
I dont remember the exact figures but in current setup I have something about 45mil per day and its growing ;)
45 mil more is in corp wallet after refill of all factories so its after all taxes.

I've been working with PI since around the changes made to the extractors. I created a spreadsheet to estimate my daily income
and found it is possible to generate between 12 and 18 million per day for a single Advanced Commodity on a single character. The advanced commodity though would have to only use 2 pi3 parts and the last pi part would have to be pi1 or pi2. Of course the income from the production of pos fuel parts was much more lucrative and in-demand when I set up in Null. Either way the majority of the setups Ive seen/made requires either daily, or every other day attention to maintain. Goods transportation will take the most time, but if you can optimize production to the system you are in you can decrease travel time. Either way I found myself hauling twice a week...

to pull 2bn you would need to be in null with your own poco's on 5 planets with 2 accts (6 characters) = 30 planets worth of harvest

also need to relocate and cycle your extractors every 24 hrs on all 30 planets

it takes anywhere from 3-6 hours per day to do, closer to 3 the less distractions you have and the more skilled you get at it

then you need to haul it all on a weekly basis, about 500k m3 weekly (13 trips in a cargo rigged occator, or 41 trips in a viator) its ~ another 2-6 hours unless you have a JF and all planets in the same system

if that appeals to you, as well as losing about 45-75 days of training per account, have fun.

the 45-75 days depends on how much hassle you want to go into with training the scanning skills on everyone or using 1 person to scan and then having to find and transpose their scans on the alts without scan skills

after about 15 days of doing this, u will want to kill yourself, just push thru u will be fine im sure.



Neat. 2 chars, about 200m/day with current prices and 45 mins a day.

If u want to do it passive take 1 week cycles...

1 week cycles allow u to run 2 extractors, 6 P1 (3 for each ressource) and 3 P2 factories. 1 week cycles allow u to run the P2 factories non stop on every planet

1 week cycles allow u to only haul once ever 2 weeks

1 week cycles allow u to spend about 1-2hour per week on PI and make good profit passively

(only 0.0) if u are hisec u will see how many ressources u get per hour and adjust your factory amount then

My current setup I am finishing up is:
4 accounts. 3 characters each. 5 planets each, adv planetology IV, CC IV, IP IV.

50 planets manufacturing P1 (some P2)
10 factory planets.
Each factory planet generates 16 P4 per day. Once my setup if inalized this will be increased to 22 per day. (6600 P4 per month)
Monthly profit is roughly 6B- 7B per month. Once I move my factory setup to a WH this will be roughly a 1B saving. This amount is though manufacturing and selling products, not selling manufacturing materials like a sucker.

All in highsec, 1 hour before work, 1 hour after work.
