I have moved into a new wormhole system and i'm wondering what to make. With the planets i have available, the easiest thing to make would be organic mortar applicators followed by Wetware mainframes.

According the eve central, WM are twice the value of the OMA but they will be harder to make and may involve me bringing in materials that i am in short supply of.

Some of my corp mates make OMA for an easy life and i was considering doing the same. However, CCP released THIS information which seems to show that, after citadels have been released, the requirement for OMA will go down and the WM will go up... or am i misunderstanding the information.

So, my question is, what should I make for a post citadel eve?

My planets:
5 x gas
1 x lava
1 x ocean
1 x barren

I have 6 PI characters

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

Uh, you should be figuring out what you need to make in a PRE citadel Eve. Post-citadel, the speculation-driven mass consumption of PI materials that is causing amazing price surges right now will promptly be at an end.

By the time citadel drops, there will probably be months worth of surplus structure components that need to be consumed before PI is worth a damn again.

What you should be making is whatever is going to be undersupplied by the time you bring it to market.

Or something that's immune to any effect Citadels are going to have on the market.
Pity there isn't a Temperate planet in there too, you'd need to import the fibers to make Nanite paste.

Nanite paste is not really immune. Nothing is. Everything that goes into it also goes into the P4s that go into structure components (Hello, 130K gel-matrix biopaste). I've seen Jita literally run out of a few things in the past few weeks. On a long enough time line the nanite repair paste supply might dwindle enough for it to become proftable, but you're far better off selling the materials right now.

Meanwhile, sterile conduits, which were buildable in a pure factory for like... 6-700K each a week or two back, are over 1.9 million today.

Might not be a bad option to switch to AFTER the patch drops, though.

Given the information on that link I was assuming it would be fairly easy to gauge the demand...

I was hoping to get some good advice from an expert but I'll just have to trust my instincts.

Thanks

I have made both (with as many toons) and I would say OMA would at the least keep you sane. You really don't want to have to import materials while living in a wormhole. You will have your hands full with moving fuel.

Plus, the lower P2/P3 materials are worth quite a bit by themselves.

I would also suggest putting up your own custom offices.
