new to this to be honest, but i've seen several tutorials and have looked at some info on the forum. just want to know if my current setup is good enough.

currently i manage only 2 barren planets, i was going to use them for producing transcranial microcontrollers. the current setup is this one:

-central launchpad

- 2extractors

- 2basic processors

-advanced processor

im producing biocells in one planet and nanites in the other, i was planning to make a factory planet but i dont have spare barren ones in order to do it, the system is of 0.8 security.

i searched for lower security planets but the distance from my home system makes it complicated to manage, specially due to hauling support and that stuff.

y extract like 280-300k units of P0 materials from each extractor in each planet, but my current skills doesnt allow me to add two aditional processors in order to maximize the P0 consumption. im looking to upgrade to lvl 4 in command center upgrades for that. but i want to know how efficient is my current setup.

notes: i use cycles of 24 hours, i use the shortest links possible, and have all my planetary skills in lvl 3 for now

If you run fast cycles you could use pad+2 silos +1 extractor + 2 +4 factories.
And extract the raw materials in turns.

thanks for the feedback, i'll save some money for the re-structuration of the colony

lose the basic processors and swap 'em for 2x adaptive invul II's. As long as you keep your PI out of scram range you should be fine.

Ive actually used the same setup in high sec. It works well. A few notes:

24 hour cycles deplete the planet too fast. Consider 3 day cycles, 2 a week (one day off).

Sell the P2. The import/export fees in high sec make it difficult to compete with P3 and P4 make in low sec and W.

Train command center upgrades all the way.

Its OK to place the extractors far away if there is a hot spot of deposits out there.

Another high sec setup is to run 2 extractors and 2 basic factories and make just P1, which you sell.

I have mine set up with for lowsec.

-1 silo
-1 launchpad
-2 extractors
-2 basic factories
-1 advanced factory

I keep the silo central as a buffer, that everything except the launchpad is attached to. The launchpad is attached to the far side of the advanced factory.

Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012.

In high sec I use:

1 Launchpad
2 Extractors
4 Basic Processors
...and that's it.

All P2 assembly and above is done on a dedicated factory planet.

The one extractor requires 24 hrs cycles or the silos will deplete but I would recommend this only in wh/null not hi sec pi

I've been doing this for over 3 years, but you lost me there. Can you elaborate ?

i guess he means because in 24h cycles the extractor puts the P0 mats each 15 mins, while a longer setup can take more time than the required for the processors.

the sile depletes because the stored materials cannot sustain 2 processor cycles until the next extraction cycle. so the whole extraction lines gets stopped.

your storage can only enough for around 2 days and you have to keep switching between the 2 storage to you have to set extractions in time to full up storage a with 1 p0 than wen you switch to fill the other storage for the other p0 it needs to be finished before storage a empties.
