P0 → P1
Extraction starts simple
Raw resources become P1 commodities. Learn planet availability before memorizing higher chains.
Field Manual · Planetary Industry
Turn planets into supply chains, not chores.
A practical PI field guide for planet types, P0 to P1 conversions, P1 through P4 planning, customs office habits, factory planets, hauling cadence, and the tradeoffs that make colonies manageable. PI routes are stable but markets move — please send feedback if something is off or missing.

Field rule: PI is mostly logistics discipline. Extraction, routing, taxes, export volume, factory layout, and pickup cadence decide whether the chain is pleasant or miserable.
PI quick read
P2/P3/P4
Factories need imports
Higher tiers often work better with dedicated factory planets instead of forcing every planet to do everything.
POCO tax
Taxes eat lazy math
Customs office rates and hauling distance can decide whether a colony is worth maintaining.
Cadence
Design for your attention
A slightly worse colony you actually maintain beats a perfect layout you abandon.
P0 to P1 reference
Filter by planet type to see which raw resources and P1 outputs are available from a practical colony start.

Showing all PI rows.
| P0 raw resource | P1 commodity | Planet types | Field note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aqueous Liquids | Water | BarrenGasIceOceanicStormTemperate | Common utility input. Often paired with route and extractor-head efficiency decisions. |
| Autotrophs | Industrial Fibers | Temperate | Temperate-only P1 route; useful for understanding why planet access matters. |
| Base Metals | Reactive Metals | BarrenGasLavaPlasmaStorm | Very common P1 component; often part of compact P2 layouts. |
| Carbon Compounds | Biofuels | BarrenOceanicTemperate | Common P1 path used in multiple early PI chains. |
| Complex Organisms | Proteins | OceanicTemperate | Biological route; planet choice can be the bottleneck. |
| Felsic Magma | Silicon | Lava | Lava-only P1 route. Good example of why factory planets need imports. |
| Heavy Metals | Toxic Metals | IceLavaPlasma | Important P1 path for many higher chains; check extraction heat before committing. |
| Ionic Solutions | Electrolytes | GasStorm | Gas/storm route that often pushes players into less convenient systems. |
| Micro Organisms | Bacteria | BarrenIceOceanicTemperate | Flexible biological input. Useful for simple starter colonies. |
| Noble Gas | Oxygen | GasIceStorm | Fuel-block relevance makes this one worth learning early. |
| Noble Metals | Precious Metals | BarrenPlasma | Barren/plasma route; often a practical P2 ingredient. |
| Non-CS Crystals | Chiral Structures | LavaPlasma | Lava/plasma route that can drive location choice. |
| Planktic Colonies | Biomass | IceOceanic | Limited planet access. Good reminder that not all systems can support every chain. |
| Reactive Gas | Oxidizing Compound | Gas | Gas-only P1 route. Do not assume every PI material is available nearby. |
| Suspended Plasma | Plasmoids | LavaPlasmaStorm | Useful in multiple chains; plasma planets can be strategically valuable. |
