So I'm a returning player and I'm now concentrating generating ISK to fix the issue that caused me to stop playing, no reliable cashflow. So my master plan is to get my main setup for PI, Exploration, and Incursions. And I'm debating with myself whether to create a alt on a second account for Industry. Now PI is the only one who's mechanics I don't understand. But all the info I see on the web about it is dated by at least two expansions. So I need updated info also I was wondering what should I be producing? I'm gonna do high sec PI cause I need to make money and I can't afford attrition now so I have to do the slow but safer highsec PI I'm also looking to settle in Amarrian space. Right now all PI skills are 3 and I will work towards getting them all to 4 soon. At this point I just need guidance.

PI hasn't changed since it was introduced, so the 'dated' information is probably still accurate (if it was accurate initially)

As for what you should be producing: Do some maths, work out what you can make the most money off. Make that. Re-do the calcs every couple of months and change what you're making if necessary.

Is a good link to have in mind if you haven't made any personal spreadsheets. Just make sure to do your math and check which market you wanna move stuff to. If you plan on sticking in hi-sec you ought to get Custom Code Expertise skilled up and find a nicely taxed POCO or work some diplo with the owners.

Get on Comms, or die typing.

All the info is correct in all teh old sites except for one thing that may crop up.

Silos got their capacity buffed to 12,000m3 storage, up from 6 or 8k from memory, so if they say to ignore Silos, they are usually meaning the small, useless ones that no longer exist. Silos now are good, a little small still, but good and use low power/cpu.You only need to use 1 Launch Pad now except for specialized setups.
