Well, people feel free to ask in this thread about planetary interaction.
I had a question myself, i know longer the links are, more powergrid require off the Command center, but the longer the link, the longer the time it takes to transport materials through it? or there aren't transport times? |

I believe travel time so to speak is instantaneous, though there are volume limits to watch. You may need to upgrade certain links in your set up.
What I haven't noticed.. does the length of reach on extractor heads make a difference?
I wouldn love to see corp joint ventures, where a corp mate can link their extraction with my lroduction or vice versa without leaving the planet first (and paying taxes) You shoot em, we loot em.. that's mother truckinGÇÖ right http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuyLTDAC7fE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oz3RpU45_E

Distances only matter for the cpu/pg requs, nothin else. Building ECU as near your base as possible is best since the head "links" are free. |

Partially true. Link length and upgrade also affects the cooldown of expedited transfers.
So if you're smart and don't need them, it won't ever affect you.
But in general, yes, designing a complex with minimal link length and number is the best choice. Try to keep it to one link per node and you're best off. |

No, it doesn't change a thing how close or far the extractors heads are from the extractor control unit |

I had a question,
Does anyone know of a way of figuring out which of 2 or 3 planets would output more than the others? Is it possible? |

Transport is instantaneous. What took me a while to find (admit I had to ask on the forums) was a way to "upgrade" a link if the amount of material being transported over it exceeded capacity.
One of the things I wish they would do with PI is allow "storage to storage" links. that way you could "buffer" into a storage module and transport longer distances with lower level links by leveling out the transport of materials over time, not losing anything. This would finally create a use for storage silos.

There's no raw data available that could be plugged into an algorithm.
That said, you can see on the "scan" view which of the three planets has the most TOTAL amount of the material you're interested in by looking at the little horizontal bar graph.
From that information you might be able to eliminate one of the 3 if the other two have more total material.
What I would do then to decide between the last two is to change the scan view by sliding the right most triangle on the rainbow bar (hope you know what I mean by that) to the left until it's clear how the material is clustered/concentrated around the planet. From that view you can get an impression of which of the two will offer better long term "ease of mining" by literally counting the number of largest concentrations of hot spots in close proximity to one another. The one to mine would be the one with a larger clustering in any given spot so that you can keep mining efficiently without having to move your entire installation around.
If someone knows a better way I'd like to hear it, but this is what i've been doing. |
